Ferrovit Forte is a complex drug that affects metabolic processes, containing 12 vitamins and the mineral Iron. Its pharmacological action is due to its constituent substances.

Vitamin A is involved in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides) and ensures the normal function of the skin, mucous membranes, and the organ of vision.

B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that regulate different types of metabolism in the body. Folic acid stimulates erythropoiesis.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant, participates in the synthesis of proteins and hemoglobin, in the process of cell growth, function of skeletal muscles, heart and blood vessels, and gonads.

Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, regulation of metabolism in connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, normalizes capillary permeability, and increases the body’s resistance to infections.

Vitamin D promotes proper bone tissue formation and regulates calcium metabolism in the body.

The combination of B vitamins, group A with ascorbic and folic acids helps prevent complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
