Hb Rich
Hb Rich is a hematinic supplement formulated to replenish iron levels and promote red blood cell production. It features Carbonyl Iron, which offers high bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal discomfort compared to conventional iron salts. It is enriched with Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 to assist in proper red blood cell maturation, alongside Zinc to support metabolic and immune health.
Dosage by Body Weight
Take orally, preferably after a meal to minimize potential stomach upset. Avoid taking alongside dairy products, calcium supplements, antacids, tea, or coffee, as these inhibit iron absorption. Consuming with Vitamin C-rich foods or juices can enhance iron absorption.
