Hemarate Description

Each film-coated tablet contains: Ferrous Fumarate 320 mg (equivalent to elemental iron, 105 mg), dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) 30 IU, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B₁) 10 mg, Riboflavin (Vitamin B₂) 10 mg, Pyridoxine (Vitamin B₆) 5 mg, Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B₁₂) 50 mcg, Nicotinamide (Vitamin B₃) 30 mg, Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) 500 mg.
Hemarate contains iron, vitamins B₆ and B₁₂. These nutrients are necessary for healthy blood, synthesis of hemoglobin (an oxygen containing protein which gives blood its red color) and to prevent iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). IDA is one of the most prevalent nutritional problems in developing countries including the Philippines.
Hemarate also provides other B-complex vitamins (vitamins B₁, B₂, and Nicotinamide) which help in the conversion of food to energy. It has vitamins C and E. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin which enhances iron absorption. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which acts as the first defense against free radicals in the lipid (fat) phase of cells. Together, vitamins C and E help protect the body against the harmful effect of free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen and from exogenous sources such as environmental pollutants, smoking, exposure to UV light, etc.
