How Aftron Tablet works

Aftron Tablet is a combination of three medicines : L-Methyl Folate, Methylcobalamin, and Iron. L-methylfolate is the primary biologically active isomer of folic acid and the primary form of folate in circulation. Folic Acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also essential in pregnancy due to its role in the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that restores its level in the body thereby helping in treating certain anemias and nerve problems. Iron is vital for the formation of new red blood cells and hemoglobin, a substance that gives these cells the ability to transport oxygen.
