Ferrous Ascorbate + L-Lysine + Combination Tablets
Tablet
Ferrous Ascorbate, L – Lysine, Lycopene, Mecobalamin, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 and Zinc with Selenium tablet is a synergistic combination of the nutritional substances – which helps in anaemia.
This product is a versatile, high – potency Iron with essential nutrients as the primary dietary supplement for all types of consumers especially women and those who are not able to take a balanced diet with recommended serving of fruits and vegetables due to their hectic life style and untimely food habits and not eating enough foods. These nutrients are needed by the body for the formation of red blood cells. If the body does not receive adequate amounts of these nutrients, anaemia can develop. During pregnancy the daily requirement for these nutrients increases.
This combination is used for iron deficiencies in human, useful in anemia caused by low levels of iron or folate in the blood. It is also used in pregnancy for low blood levels of iron and to supply folic acid to the body.
Risk factors for anemia include
- Low dietary iron and folate (vitamin B) intake
- Serious illnesses including internal bleeding, kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and liver disease
- Low vitamin D levels
Iron is essential to human health, in that it is necessary for cell growth and differentiation and aids in oxygen transport to tissues. Most of the body's iron stores, about two-thirds, are found in hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that brings oxygen to the tissues. Iron is also found in myoglobin, which brings oxygen to muscles. The intestines regulate iron storage in your body; when your iron stores are low, your absorption of iron increases. Without enough iron, anemia can occur, resulting in fatigue and weakness.
The major functions of iron are:
- Energy Production
The majority of iron in the body is involved in energy production. The largest fraction is found in the hemoglobin of red blood cells and is necessary for oxygen transport throughout the body. Iron also serves as part of myoglobin for oxygen supply to muscles. Iron is involved in the electron transport system and is part of an important energy-producing enzyme, NADH dehydrogenase -
Immunity
Iron has pro-oxidation properties used by the immune system to destroy bacteria - Required for DNA synthesis
Ferrous ascorbate provides a significantly higher rise in hemoglobin levels in comparison to colloidal iron.
Lysine helps the body better absorb iron.
Lycopene used in iron-mediated oxidative stress, proliferation and autophagy in liver due to its potent free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties.
Methylcobalamin plays an important role in helping the body make red blood cells.
Folic acid is vital for the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylate of nucleic acids.
Vitamin D3 is required to help the body function normally. It especially affects the formation and health of red blood cells. Since, vitamin D is needed to help red blood cells use iron, a deficiency of vitamin D is associated with anemia.
Zinc with iron is both required to build red blood cells (RBC), supplementing with both minerals is more effective in anemia.
Selenium deficiency may cause a secondary overload of iron and unbalanced distribution of other minerals.
The rational use of nutritional supplements, combined with a healthy diet, will contribute substantially to health promotion and work in balance and synergism on protection and integration of the physiological functions of the body.
