FERCID

Description

Fercid is a comprehensive hematinic supplement containing Ferrous Ascorbate (Iron), Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), and Zinc. It is specifically designed to treat and prevent iron-deficiency anemia and nutritional deficiencies, supporting the production of healthy red blood cells and boosting overall energy levels.

How it Works

• Ferrous Ascorbate: A synthetic form of iron and vitamin C that is highly absorbable. It replenishes the body’s iron stores, which are essential for making hemoglobin—the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

• Folic Acid: Essential for DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells. It is particularly crucial during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.

• Vitamin B12: Supports nerve health and works with Folic Acid to ensure the proper maturation of red blood cells.

• Zinc: A vital trace mineral that boosts immunity and supports cellular metabolism and enzyme functions.

How to Use

• Dosage: Typically one tablet daily or as recommended by a physician.

• Administration: For maximum absorption, take on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). If stomach upset occurs, it may be taken with food, though this may slightly reduce iron absorption.

• Avoid: Do not take with tea, coffee, dairy products, or antacids within 2 hours of the dose, as these can block iron absorption.

Key Features

• High Absorption: Ferrous Ascorbate is known for having higher bioavailability and better gastric tolerance compared to traditional iron salts.

• Vitality Booster: Helps combat fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath associated with low iron.

• Immune Support: Added Zinc helps strengthen the body’s natural defense system.

• Pregnancy Safe: Often prescribed during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands (under medical supervision).

Possible Side Effects

• Common: Black or dark-colored stools (this is normal and harmless with iron), constipation, or mild nausea.

• Serious: Severe abdominal pain or allergic reactions (swelling, rash). If you have a history of iron overload (hemochromatosis), consult a doctor before use.

Quality Assurance

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place. Keep the container tightly closed to protect from moisture.

• Packaging: 10 x 10 Tablets (100 tablets total per box).

• Shelf Life: Check the expiration date printed on the strip or box.
