B-Fit Iron+ tablets: For anemic disorder

Ferrous ascorbate 100 mg, Folic acid 1.5 mg
Iron (Ferrous ascorbate): The effects of Iron are mighty. We need it to produce hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in red blood cells that brings oxygen to the rest of the body. Iron is also needed to produce myoglobin, the oxygen reservoir in the muscle cells. Iron is needed for the production of hemoglobin needed for red blood cells. Hemoglobin is important in the transport of oxygen to the body tissues. Its function is to shuttle oxygen from your lungs to your cycling muscles and take the waste carbon dioxide back to your lungs on the return trip.

The ability of haemoglobin to pick up and release gasses depends on the iron content. If you don’t have enough, your oxygen-carrying capacity and thus your exercise performance is affected. You feel tired, lethargic and suffer more headaches than usual.
Other protein/iron complexes are enzymes such as peroxidase and the cyctochrome enzymes. These are a vital part of the energy production systems, deep within your muscle fibres. Once again, a lack of iron will have a direct affect on your energy levels.
To avoid being deficient in iron, you simply need to replace the amount you lose each day. This is a mere 1mg in men, which is mostly via the normal exfoliation of skin cells and sweat. In women, the loss of menstrual blood represents an extra loss of about 0.5mg per day.
These normal losses of 1-2mg per day are small in comparison with an average diet, which supplies 10- 15mg per day, and yet iron deficiency is common among people who exercise regularly. Early signs are a pale skin (that’s before you get on your bike and start working hard!); a lack of colour and pinkness indicates that there’s not enough healthy, iron-rich blood. Look inside your eyelids; they should be a bright red colour. Other deficiency symptoms include a sore tongue or cracks at the side of your mouth. Vertical ridges along your fingernails can also be as a result of iron deficiency.
Inadequate iron stores in the blood cause iron deficiency anemia. Women are more likely to be anemic because of poor eating habits and blood loss during menstruation. Thus, many women enter pregnancy with reduced iron stores or some level of anemia. At least 20% of all pregnant women are anemic. Women take in less iron than men because they are usually smaller and eat less. They also lose more during menstruation.

Folic acid is also known as Vitamin B9. Vitamin B9 (Folic acid and Folate inclusive) is essential to numerous bodily functions ranging from nucleotide synthesis to the remethylation of homocysteine. It is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth. Both children and adults require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia. It helps make DNA (the body’s genetic material), which normalizes the brain’s functions, and is a critical component of spinal fluid. Research suggests that it is hard for women to get enough folic acid by simply eating a balanced diet. The average Indian diet is deficient in folic acid to begin with, and it’s very difficult to eat enough foods rich in the vitamin to supply the amount that experts advise you take in pregnancy. It is recommended that every woman who is thinking about pregnancy or is in the first third (trimester) of pregnancy, takes a daily supplement of 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid and eats a folate rich diet to reduce her baby’s risk of getting some types of birth defects. Women who don’t get enough may also increase their chance of miscarriage. It is necessary for fertility in both men and women, short-term memory, mental agility and to avoid depression, heart diseases, cancer etc. Benefits of this iron supplement are it treats anemia & boosts the energy level, improves the immunity, encourages restful sleep and prevent insomnia. It also helps in painful & irregular periods, fatigue, and helps to improve concentration as well as physical strength.
Dosage: 1 tablet once or twice daily with a glass of water after meals or as directed by physician.
