About Folizorb Capsule

Folizorb Capsule belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food. 

Folizorb Capsule contains Docosahexaenoic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid, L Methylfolate, Methylcobalamin, and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the omega fatty acids that control cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health. They act as an energy source and help in the better functioning of vital organs like the brain, heart, and lungs in the body. L Methylfolate helps form red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Methylcobalamin/Mecobalamin/Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate/Pyridoxine/Vitamin B6 is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. 

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Sometimes, Folizorb Capsule may have common side effects like nausea, stomach upset, and diarrhoea. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. 

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Folizorb Capsule or other medicines. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have a history of liver, heart or kidney diseases. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding mother before using Folizorb Capsule . This supplement does not usually interfere with your driving ability. It is advised to limit alcohol intake to avail maximum benefits of Folizorb Capsule . This supplement should not be used for children unless recommended by a doctor to your child.

Folizorb Capsule contains Docosahexaenoic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid, L Methylfolate, Methylcobalamin, and Pyridoxal-5-phosphate.

They also reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering triglycerides and raising good cholesterol levels. L Methylfolate helps produce new blood cells and prevents low folate levels. Methylcobalamin regulates body functions like cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
