Mode of actions

**Iron:**
Iron is important for making hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Enough iron is needed to make healthy red blood cells and for the body to work properly. Iron also helps several important enzymes, including those that help with energy production. Iron is found in hemoglobin, myoglobin (in muscles), and enzymes, and its main job is to help carry oxygen in the blood.

**Folic Acid:**
Folic acid is needed for making DNA and forming healthy red blood cells. In the body, especially the liver and blood, folic acid changes into an active form called tetrahydrofolic acid with the help of an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase. Folic acid also helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spine in babies, so women who may become pregnant or are pregnant need more of it.
