Vitamin B12 plus folic acid Hevert ampoules – prevention and treatment of folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency
Folic acid belongs to the group of B vitamins and is involved in many metabolic processes, especially in protein metabolism and the metabolism of DNA (hereditary substances). Folic acid deficiency can be triggered by regular dialysis treatment, drug treatment of cancer diseases, taking certain medicines such as the “pill”, a low-vegetable diet, increased alcohol consumption, chronic diarrheal diseases or an overactive thyroid gland.
In pregnancy and lactation, there is an increased need for folic acid, nevertheless, dosages exceeding 5 mg of folic acid per day should not be used.
Vitamin B12 is required for the formation of red and white blood cells as well as platelets, for the breakdown of the harmful amino acid homocysteine (together with vitamin B6 and folic acid) and for numerous processes in the nervous system.
A deficiency develops in older people and vegetarians often over the years due to long-term low-vitamin B12 nutrition. Likewise, a regression of the gastric mucosa may be responsible for a deficiency, since in this case an excipient for the absorption of vitamin B12 is not formed in sufficient quantity.
With vitamin B12 plus folic acid Hevert ampoules, you can effectively prevent a deficiency with existing risk factors and, in the event of a manifest deficiency, reliably and sustainably eliminate the deficit and replenish the empty stores.
