Carbonyl iron provides ultra-pure elemental iron with delayed gastric acid dissolution, virtually eliminating nausea and toxicity. Folic acid and B12 support DNA synthesis and normoblastic erythropoiesis. Indicated for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, nutritional deficiency in pregnancy and lactation, and chronic menorrhagia.
