FAQs
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL effectively treats various conditions caused by a lack of vitamins.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL is a vitamin supplement and consists of Alpha-lipoic acid, Folic acid, Pyridoxine, Tocopherol, and Mecobalamin. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL helps normalise these deficient levels. Collectively, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL 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, turkey, fish, peanuts, soya beans, wheat germ, oats, and bananas. If your Vitamin B6 levels are still low, your doctor may recommend 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 supplements.
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 suggest other dosage forms in such a case.
Pyridoxine in ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL may interfere with laboratory tests like urine tests for urobilinogen. Please make sure your doctor and the laboratory staff know that you take ALPHA LIPOIC ACID+FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE+TOCOPHEROL before undergoing blood and urine examinations.
