Biofol Tablet belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies and anaemia (lack of red blood cells). It provides essential nutrients for the development of the baby during pregnancy and prevents birth defects. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Biofol Tablet contains Biotin and Folic acid. Biotin (Vitamin B7) rejuvenates the cells and keeps the liver, skin, and nervous system healthy. It treats biotin deficiency and is essential for the proper growth and development of the foetus during pregnancy. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). When taken by pregnant women, Folic acid prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants.
