About Xla Plus Capsule

Xla Plus Capsule belongs to the Vitamins class, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Xla Plus Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as folate, vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Xla Plus Capsule contains Alpha lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Mecobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate; it helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps generate energy from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. Mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, regulates body functions such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Together, Xla Plus Capsule effectively treats nutritional deficiencies.

Xla Plus Capsule should be used as recommended. Sometimes, Xla Plus Capsule may have common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Xla Plus Capsule if you're allergic to any ingredient in it. Consult your doctor before using the Xla Plus Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Xla Plus Capsule in more than recommended doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Avoiding alcohol is recommended to rule out any possibility of side effects.

Medicinal Benefits

Xla Plus Capsule is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It contains Alpha lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Mecobalamin. Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage and restores vitamin levels in the body. It also protects the nerve cells from damaging degradation products and free radicals. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble Vitamin B. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin that treats and prevents vitamin B6 deficiency, anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and seizures (fits). It is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. Thiamine helps generate energy for the body from nutrients and aids in the growth and development of body cells. Mecobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.

FAQs

Xla Plus Capsule belongs to the Vitamins class, primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Xla Plus Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused due to lack of vitamins, such as folate, vitamin B1, B6, and B12 deficiencies.
Xla Plus Capsule is a vitamin supplement and consists of Alpha-lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Thiamine, and Mecobalamin. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot recover even with the food sources, Xla Plus Capsule helps normalise these deficient levels. Collectively, Xla Plus Capsule treats nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B6 deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate Pyridoxine levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in Pyridoxine like milk, eggs, beef, pork, chicken or turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats, and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may recommend its supplements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Mecobalamin levels in your body. You can include natural Vitamin B12 sources like eggs, beef, liver, chicken, trout, salmon, tuna fish, clams, fortified breakfast cereal, low-fat milk, yoghurt, and cheese in your diet for treating the deficiency. If you still have low levels of B12, please consult your doctor for its supplements.
Folate deficiency occurs when your body lacks adequate folic acid/folate levels. You can overcome this deficiency by including food sources rich in folic acid like broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may recommend its supplements.
Vitamin B1 deficiency is caused when your body does not have adequate levels of Vitamin B1 or Thiamine. This deficiency is commonly found in alcoholics, people with poor diets, and malabsorption conditions. It is also common in children with congenital heart diseases. People who undergo dialysis treatment may also develop vitamin B1 deficiency.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food) since it may be hard to absorb vitamins through oral administration. Your doctor may recommend other dosage forms in such a case.
