How it Works

Folvine XT Syrup works by supplying the body with two essential nutrients—ferrous ascorbate and folic acid—that are crucial for the formation of healthy red blood cells. Ferrous ascorbate provides highly absorbable elemental iron, which is required for the production of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. The presence of ascorbate (Vitamin C component) enhances iron absorption and reduces stomach irritation. Folic acid supports DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation, preventing folate-deficiency anemia. Together, these nutrients help restore iron levels, improve hemoglobin production, boost oxygen delivery to tissues, and reduce symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and dizziness commonly associated with anemia.
