2. Vitamin B12 3 mg
3. Fe (two-valence iron /lactate/) 20 mg
4. Subsidiary elements: Sorbit; Mg stearate; Aerozil; Na gluconate; Vivastar (microcellulosis).
Folic acid
Importance – an anti-anemic factor, which participates in the formation of erythrocites and thrombocites; when combined with vitamin C it transforms into folic acid and plays important role in the biosynthesis of the nucleic acids, amino acids and proteins.
Hypovitaminosis – not described
Daily dosage: 4-20 mg
Vitamin B12
Called cobalamin. B12 is significant for the production of myelin – the lipid layer insulating the axons of the neurons thus allowing the proper movement of the electrical impulses in the body.
Due to this essential function, the insufficiency of B12 can result in a number of problems: loss of memory, disorientation, hallucinations, tiredness, loss of equilibrium, slow reflexes, injured perception of touch or pain, stiffness and tingling of feet and arms, noise in the ears and loss of hearing due to extremely strong noise. The B12 deficiency is associated to symptoms similar to those of multiple sclerosis and senility. Its large deficit causes degeneration of the myelin sheath.
Its deficit increases the level of the homocysteine in the blood. In large doses it is poisonous for the brain cells thus posing serious questions about its potential role in the disease of Alzheimer. Maybe, the homocysteine is one of the primary reasons for heart diseases. It activates a system of coagulation which makes the blood cells more adhesive and easily attachable to the walls of the arteries and narrows them.
Since Vitamin B12 is important and for the production of red blood cells, its large deficit can bring to a status called malignant anemia, which can lower the energy levels. When you take B12, almost immediately you will feel an explosion of energy, which means that a larger capacity of oxygen is transferred to the tissues.
Unfortunately, 10 to 30% of the people cannot receive enough B12 through their normal nutrition regimen. Their stomach does not secrete enough gastric acid to decompose the food so that B12 could store in the liver and the muscles, till the moment it becomes necessary.
People, suffering from the following diseases, must consult a physician before starting using Foliferol B12, namely : Leber’s disease, polycythemia vera or uremia.
Ferrum
It is of vital importance for the production of hemoglobin (red blood cells), myoglobin (the red pigment of the muscles) and some enzymes. Only about 8% of the totally-administered ferrum is absorbed and permeated into the blood flow. An adult of average weight of 68 kg has about 4 gr of ferrum in his/her organism. The hemoglobin which uses up the bigger part of the ferrum is recycled and again used for replacing the blood cells at intervals of 120 days. The ferrum, bound with protein (ferritin), stores in the organism like the ferrum in the tissues (available in the myoglobin) in very small quantities. The daily dose is 10-15 mg for adults and 30 mg for pregnant women and athletes. Within a month women lose twice as much ferrum compared to the men. Ferrum is assimilated with the necessary copper, cobalt, manganese and Vitamin C. The ferrum is essential for the normal metabolism of B vitamins.
Positive effects. It helps for the growth. It increases the resisting energy of the organism. It heals and protects from anemia, caused by the deficit of ferrum and restores the good tone of the skin.
Diseases caused by the deficit of B12: Anemia.
Toxicity: Similar effect is rarely met with healthy people. The excessive doses, however, can happen to be risky for children. With people of idiopathic chromatosis there is a higher genetic risk for too high levels of ferrum.
Incompatible with: the egg phospho-proteins and the phytates in the unleavened whole grain cereals reduce the presence of ferrum in the organisms.
Recommendations: If you take aspirin every day, you will possibly need more ferrum. The regular consumption of large quantities of coffee and tea most likely reduces the absorption of ferrum.
