ELEMENTAL IRON (50 MG) + ELEMENTAL ZINC (22.5 MG) + FOLIC ACID (750 MCG)

Livogen-Z Captabs is primarily utilised to manage iron deficiency anaemia. This medication is a combination of three different components, classified as a nutritional supplement.

In addition to managing iron deficiency anaemia, this nutritional supplement can also be used to counter low levels of zinc in the body and support healthy cell production. These benefits are particularly crucial for those with certain conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, or women who may become pregnant.

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Livogen-Z Captabs. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Livogen-Z Captabs combines three active ingredients:

Ferrous Fumarate (152 mg): Equivalent to elemental iron (50 mg), this helps increase the production of haemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. It also aids in manufacturing myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles.
Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate (61.8 mg): Equivalent to elemental zinc (22.5 mg), this plays multiple roles in bodily functions. In this context, it is used to manage low levels of zinc in the body, which is common among individuals with conditions such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia.
Folic Acid (750 mcg): A form of vitamin B, folic acid assists the body in creating healthy new cells. This is especially significant for women who may become pregnant as it can help prevent major birth defects of the baby's brain and spine when taken before and during early pregnancy.
