About FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE
FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE belongs to the class of 'Vitamins', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It is used to treat and prevent niacin deficiency (pellagra), folate deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food. It could lead to various health problems, including defective bone growth, skin disorders, digestive issues, and dementia (memory loss).
FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE contains Folic acid, Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), and Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Folate is a water-soluble Vitamin B naturally found in food sources. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Mecobalamin (Methylcobalamine) is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12. It regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Nicotinamide (also known as Niacinamide) is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin). It helps in replenishing the energy in the body cells and provides essential nutrients.

FAQs
FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE is a dietary supplement and consists of Folic acid, Mecobalamin (vitamin B12), and Nicotinamide. When you lack these vitamins in your body, which cannot be recovered even with the food sources, FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE helps in normalising these deficient levels. Collectively, FOLIC ACID+MECOBALAMIN+NICOTINAMIDE treats nutritional deficiencies.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused when you don't have enough Methylcobalamin or Mecobalmin 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, liver (avoid this during pregnancy), and breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. If your folic acid levels are still low, your doctor may suggest its supplements.
