Each capsule contains: Folic Acid 5 mg.
Folic acid is a member of the vitamin B group. Folic acid is reduced in the body to tetrahydrofolate, which is a coenzyme for various metabolic processes including the synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, and hence in the synthesis of DNA; it is also involved in some amino-acid conversions, and in the formation and utilization of formate. Deficiency, which can result in megaloblastic anemia develops when the dietary intake is inadequate (as in malnutrition), when there is malabsorption (as in sprue), increased utilization (as in pregnancy or conditions such as hemolytic anemia), increased loss (as in hemodialysis), or as a result of the administration of folate antagonists and other drugs that interfere with normal folate metabolism.
