Carbonyl Iron is more effective and safer choice of Iron supplementation as it has higher bioavailability, low toxicity and better GI tolerance. Folic acid is required to maintain normal healthy development of the neural tube and is vital for cell division from a single cell to a fully developed baby. Vitamin B Complex is required for the growth and development of unborn babies. Vitamin C plays a role in the structure of collagen in the fetal membrane. Zinc is a critical nutrient for fetal growth & development, central nervous system development & function and ensures better maternal & infant health.

Carbonyl Iron provides highly bioavailable iron; Folic Acid supports neural tube development and cell division; Vitamin B Complex aids fetal growth and development; Vitamin C supports collagen formation; Zinc ensures central nervous system development and function.

• Haemolytic anaemia

Carbonyl Iron: Decreases the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa and penicillamine.

Folic Acid: Interacts with antiepileptics; plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone may be reduced.
