HOW FERRKAP TABLET WORKS

Ferrkap Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Ferrous Bisglycinate, Zinc bisglycinate, Folic
Acid, and Methylcobalamin. Ferrous Bisglycinate is an anti-anemic medication. It replenishes the
iron stores in your body. Iron is vital for the formation of new red blood cells and hemoglobin, a
substance that gives these cells the ability to transport oxygen. Zinc bisglycinate is a dietary
supplement of zinc that provides essential nutrients. Folic Acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a
vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also
essential in pregnancy due to its role in the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal
cord. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that restores its level in the body thereby helping
in treating certain anemias and nerve problems.
