Product introduction
Folinext Tablet is a nutritional supplement that combines folic acid with mecobalamin, an active form of vitamin B12. It is commonly used to top up these nutrients when the body's needs rise, such as during pregnancy, or when a shortfall of folate or B12 leads to anaemia. Both nutrients play an important role in producing healthy red blood cells and in supporting normal nerve function.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry and dark place, and protect from direct sunlight.
