Description
What Are Ferrograd Folic Tablets?
Ferrograd Folic Tablets are a combined iron and folic acid supplement formulated with a controlled-release system. Each tablet provides iron in a Gradumet slow-release matrix, helping to reduce the likelihood of stomach irritation. The supplement contributes to normal red blood cell formation and supports general nutritional requirements for individuals who may have increased iron or folate needs.
Ferrograd Folic may be used during pregnancy but only after the first 13 weeks, following medical advice.
About Iron, Folic Acid and Low Levels
Iron is an essential mineral involved in producing red blood cells and transporting oxygen around the body. Folic acid (vitamin B9) plays a key role in cell formation and supports normal blood development.
Low dietary intake, pregnancy, menstruation and certain lifestyles may increase nutrient requirements. Controlled-release iron supplements can provide a steady supply of iron throughout the day, helping to maintain normal levels while supporting digestive comfort.
