Zimon Plus is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is needed for normal erythropoiesis, for making nucleoprotein and myelin, for cell reproduction and for normal growth. It works as a coenzyme, and its metabolic functions include protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. It also takes part in cell replication and hematopoiesis.
Iron is an essential part of hemoglobin, so enough iron is necessary for effective erythropoiesis. It also acts as a cofactor for several essential enzymes, including the cytochromes that are involved in electron transport. Iron replaces the stores found in hemoglobin, myoglobin and enzymes, and it carries oxygen through hemoglobin.
Folic acid is needed for nucleoprotein synthesis and for keeping erythropoiesis normal. In the liver and plasma, dihydrofolate reductase converts it to its metabolically active form, tetrahydrofolic acid. It prevents neural tube defects in women of childbearing potential, and higher doses are required during pregnancy.
