Iron (Carbonyl Iron)

About Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
A highly pure, nontoxic Iron(a minimum 98% iron content), Iron dietary supplement and to treat iron deficiency.
Mechanism of Action of Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Iron formulations exerts haematinic action by being an essential constituent of haemoglobin. It is necessary for the oxidative process of living tissues.
Pharmacokinets of Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Absorption: Absorbed orally in ferrous form and poorly absorbed in healthy individuals (about 10%) but in patients suffering from iron deficiency anaemia up to 60% dose is absorbed.
Distribution: Transported in a transferrin bound form in to bone marrow for incorporation in to haemoglobin.

Spirulina

About Spirulina
Edible blue-green algae, Dietary supplement.
Mechanism of Action of Spirulina
Spirulina exerts its action by being a richest food supplements. It is a good source of proteins (60 to 70%) and also contains vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids, fibres, organic nitrogen, antioxidants, phycocyanobilin etc. The protein content of Spirulina is 85 to 95% digestible. Fat content (5 to 7%) of Spirulina is in the form of essential fatty acids in the form of linolenic acid and gamma linolenic acid.
Gamma linolenic acid elevates HDL levels and improves fatty acid profile and act as a precursor of PGE1 which prevents platelet aggregation in blood vessels and also controls inflammations. It is a richest source of anti oxidants like superoxide dumatase enzyme and beta-carotene. It also contains high concentrations of B complex vitamins. Phycocyanobilin which is a linear tetrapyrrole related to haem forms Phycocyanin which forms soluble complexes with iron and other minerals and is in an easily absorbable form.

Vitamin C exerts it`s action by influencing the biologic oxidations and reductions used in cellular respirations. It directly stimulates collagen synthesis and maintains intracellular connective tissue. It involves in various metabolic reactions such as 1).Hydroxylation of praline and lysine residues of protocollagen which is essential for formation and stabilization of collagen triple helix, 2).hydroxylation of carnitine, 3).Conversion of folic acid to folinic acid, 4).biosynthesis of adrenal steroids, catecholamines, oxytocin, and ADH, 5).Metabolism of cyclic nucleotides and prostaglandins. Vitamin C is important in resistance to infections.

Folic Acid

About Folic Acid
Dietary supplement, Folate derivative( B9 ), Water Soluble Vitamin.
Mechanism of Action of Folic Acid
Folic acid reduced by enzymes folate reductase and dihydrofolate reductase and forms dihydrofolic acid tetrahydrofolic acid respectively. Tetrahydrofolic acid acts as a coenzyme which mediates a number of one carbon transfer reactions by carrying a methyl group as an adduct. It involves a number of reactions such as 1).conversion of homocysteine to methionine. 2).synthesis of thymidylate which is an essential constituent of DNA from methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 3). Conversion of serine to glycine by tetrahydrofolic acid and forms methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 4).to introduce carbon units at position 2 and 8 during de novo purine synthesis requires formyl-tetrahydrofolic acid and methenyl-tetrahydrofolic acid.5).generation and utilization of "formate pool". 6).For mediating formino group transfer in histidine metabolism. Folic acid is required to maintain normal erythropoiesis and nucleoprotein synthesis.
Pharmacokinets of Folic Acid
Absorption: Well absorbed orally
Distribution: Widely distributed in the body and highest concentration is seen in liver. It appears in the CSF and breast milk
Metabolism: Metabolized in to N-methyl tetrahydrofolic acid in liver
Excretion: Extra drug is excreted unchanged in urine. A small portion of folate is lost by a combination of urinary and fecal excretion and oxidative cleavage of molecule.
Onset of Action for Folic Acid
Oral: 20 to 30minutes
