Vitafol Tablet contains folic acid (5 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• DNA Synthesis: Folic acid plays a critical role in producing DNA (the genetic material in all cells). This function is crucial for cell growth and division.

• Amino Acid Metabolism: Folic acid participates in the metabolism of certain amino acids like homocysteine. This process helps maintain overall health.

• Red Blood Cell Production: The presence of sufficient folic acid is necessary for producing healthy red blood cells and preventing anaemia.

• Neural Tube Formation: During early development, folic acid helps form the neural tube. It can help prevent major birth defects in the baby’s brain and spine.
