About Biohomin Tablet

Biohomin Tablet is used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is a supplement recommended during pregnancy. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss). 

Biohomin Tablet contains L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and Mecobalamin. L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium helps in producing new blood cells and prevents low folate levels. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is a water-soluble vitamin involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of red blood cells, and neurotransmitters. Mecobalamin regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis.
