Product introduction
Mulmin F Capsule is a nutritional supplement that combines dried ferrous sulphate, zinc sulphate and folic acid in a sustained-release form. It is mainly used to top up iron and folic acid levels in people with mild anaemia or increased nutritional needs, such as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The sustained-release design is intended to release the minerals gradually, which can be gentler on the stomach than a plain iron tablet. As with any iron or mineral supplement, it works best when taken consistently and under a doctor's guidance rather than as a substitute for a balanced diet.
Storage: Store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight, out of reach of children.
