Ferrochelate-XT Tablet

Description

Ferrochelate-XT Tablet is a nutritional supplement that helps in the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia. It combines:

• Ferrous Ascorbate (100mg): A stable form of iron combined with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that improves iron absorption and corrects iron deficiency.

• Folic Acid (1.5mg): An essential B-vitamin that helps in red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and prevention of megaloblastic anemia.

This combination is especially beneficial for pregnant and lactating women, growing children, and patients recovering from illness or surgery where iron demand is increased.
