Zinc sulfate, one part of this combination of iron, folic acid, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and zinc sulfate, precipitates protein. This is what gives it its astringent and weak antiseptic action. It also produces mild vasodilation. Zinc sulfate can be taken by mouth or used systemically as a zinc supplement as well. 220 mg of zinc sulfate (heptahydrate) contains 50 mg of elemental zinc.

Iron is an essential mineral and does several important jobs in the body. For example, it helps make red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. A lack of iron can lead to iron deficiency anaemia. Liver is a good source of iron, but don't eat it if you are pregnant, because it is also rich in vitamin A, which in large amounts can harm your unborn baby.

Folic acid is essential for the production of certain coenzymes in many metabolic systems, such as purine and pyrimidine synthesis. It is also essential for the synthesis and maintenance of nucleoprotein in erythropoiesis. In folate-deficiency anaemia, it also promotes WBC and platelet production.

Nicotinamide is a vitamin B3 derivative. The body builds it into the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), which are involved in multiple cellular metabolic pathways.

Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair. It plays a role in oxidation/reduction reactions and in other metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of catecholamines, carnitine and steroids. It also plays a role in the conversion of folic acid to folinic acid.

Vitamin B complex: the building blocks for good health come from many different foods, even when they belong to the same family of nutrients. Vitamin B is a good example, a key player in keeping cells healthy and keeping you energised. Not all types of vitamin B do the same thing, and each type comes from different foods. Vitamin B deficiencies can lead to health problems. Sometimes a doctor will prescribe a supplement when they think you're not getting enough.

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children below 6 years, and that applies to Iron + Folic Acid + Vitamin B Complex + Vitamin C + Zinc Sulfate too. If you have liver disease or haemochromatosis, avoid higher doses. Too much iron can cause bloody diarrhea, vomiting, acidosis, darkened stools and abdominal pain. These symptoms may clear in a few hours.

Riboflavin is reported to be completely safe, and no toxic symptoms have been reported so far. Higher doses of Nicotinamide may cause vomiting and diarrhea. Sensory neuropathy was seen in people taking more than 200 mg Pyridoxine for very long periods. No case of Folic acid overdosage has been reported. Even a massive single dose of Ascorbic acid is unlikely to cause significant effects.

Zinc toxicity has been seen in both acute and chronic forms. Taking 150 to 450 mg of zinc per day has been linked with low copper status, altered iron function, reduced immune function and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins. So zinc at its RDA doses does not cause any significant effect.

Keep in a dry place below 25 °C and away from light.
