GYNOFERRO SANOL

Ferrous glycine sulfate is a medicinal product for the treatment of iron deficiency. It contains iron (Fe2+) in a form that the body can easily absorb and utilize and is therefore suitable to eliminate symptoms caused by iron deficiency. Like all iron preparations, ferrous glycine sulfate has no effects on erythropoiesis or anaemia that is not due to iron deficiency.

Folic acid is a member of the vitamin B group which is reduced in the body to tetrahydrofolate, a co-enzyme active in several metabolic processes and produces a haemopoietic response in nutritional megaloblastic anaemias. Folic acid is rapidly absorbed and widely distributed in body tissues.

Hydroxocobalamin is used in the treatment and prevention of Vitamin B12 deficiency. For adults, the daily requirement of Vitamin B12 is probably about 1 to 2 micrograms and this amount is present in most normal diets. However, Vitamin B12 only occurs in animal products, not in vegetables, and therefore strict vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude dairy products may provide an inadequate amount, although a deficiency may not be apparent for many years.
