• Cyanocobalamin is essential for DNA synthesis and is hence vital in the production of healthy blood cells and also in providing for foetal growth and development. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent any neural tube defects.
• Pyridoxal-5 Phosphate is a form of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), which is also very useful in the production of red blood cells.
• In addition, this tablet promotes normal functioning and strength of muscle cells.
• Vitamin D3 is an active form of Vitamin D, which increases the production of carrier proteins responsible for mobilising calcium ions from the gut into the body, replenishing its stores. It also activates bone-producing cells (osteoblasts) and reduces urinary loss of calcium from the body.
