Akfer-XT Tablet is a combination of two nutritional supplements: ferrous ascorbate and folic acid. 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. Ferrous ascorbate acts as a catalyst in various biochemical reactions in our body, facilitates the transport and utilization of oxygen, and helps in cell growth and proliferation. This improves the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
