Zincofer XT Tablet contains Iron, Zinc, and Folic acid. These three are important substances required by the body to make more blood cells. In pregnancy, the body needs more iron, zinc, and folic acid in the blood. Iron is an important mineral in the body required by red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Combined with haemoglobin, it helps in attracting oxygen in the lungs. Zinc is needed by the body's immune (defence) system to carry out its functions. It helps in cell growth, division, breakdown of carbohydrates, wound healing, and proper metabolism of iron.
