Metax (35Mg) 20 Capsules

Description

Metax 35mg Capsules contain L-Methylfolate, Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate and are made by CCL Pharmaceuticals. L-methylfolate is the active form of folate and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B6. Because they are already in active form, the body can use them directly, which helps people who do not convert regular folic acid efficiently. Both support nerve health, red blood cell formation and normal homocysteine levels. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
