Medicine information
Uses & overview
Ferrous Bisglycinate, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid and Zinc Picolinate Syrup is a combination nutritional supplement designed to help meet the body's requirements for essential nutrients involved in red blood cell production, cellular growth, and overall health. It combines an iron source with vitamin B12, folic acid, and zinc to support important physiological processes. Ferrous bisglycinate supplies iron, which is required for haemoglobin formation and oxygen transport throughout the body. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell development, DNA synthesis, and healthy nerve function. Folic acid supports cell division, tissue growth, and the formation of healthy blood cells. Zinc picolinate provides zinc, an essential mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, and numerous enzymatic processes. This nutritional syrup may be recommended for individuals with inadequate dietary intake or specific nutritional deficiencies. Iron, vitamin B12, and folate deficiencies can contribute to certain types of anaemia, but the appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause and clinical assessment. Supplementation should not replace a balanced diet or necessary medical treatment. Take this syrup according to the prescribed dosage or label instructions. Excess iron can be harmful, especially to children, so keep the bottle securely out of their reach. Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have an existing medical condition. Seek medical advice if symptoms such as persistent fatigue, weakness, or dizziness continue despite supplementation.
