About ELEMENTAL IRON+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+ELEMENTAL ZINC
ELEMENTAL IRON+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+ELEMENTAL ZINC belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food.
ELEMENTAL IRON+CYANOCOBALAMIN+FOLIC ACID+ELEMENTAL ZINC contains Elemental Iron, Folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, and Elemental Zinc. Elemental Iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the production of red blood cells. Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is lesser than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
Iron deficiency anaemia: It is a condition caused due to low iron levels in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues. If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main protein in the red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, brittle nails, and pale skin.
