Ferofolic

Iron:

• Essential component in the formation of hemoglobin;
• adequate amounts of iron are necessary for effective erythropoiesis;
• also serves as a cofactor of several essential enzymes, including cytochromes that are involved in electron transport
• Replacement of iron stores found in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and enzymes; works to transport oxygen via hemoglobin.

Folic acid:

• Required for nucleoprotein synthesis and the maintenance of normal erythropoiesis;
• folic acid is converted in the liver and plasma to its metabolically active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, by dihydrofolate reductase;
• prevents neural tube defects in women of childbearing potential and higher doses required during pregnancy
• Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair;
• plays a role in oxidation/reduction reactions as well as other metabolic pathways including synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine, and steroids;
• also plays a role in conversion of folic acid to folinic acid.
