Benefits of New Folinal Tablet

In Vitamin B deficiency: New Folinal restores the B vitamins your body needs to turn food into energy and to keep nerves and blood cells healthy, correcting the deficiency behind symptoms such as tiredness, sore tongue and pins and needles.
In Nerve pain and tingling: New Folinal supplies the vitamins nerves need to repair their protective covering, which over weeks can ease the burning, tingling and numbness of nerve damage.
In Anaemia: New Folinal gives the bone marrow the B12 and folate it needs to make healthy red blood cells, correcting the anaemia and the tiredness and breathlessness that come with it.
In Tiredness due to deficiency: New Folinal corrects a lack of B vitamins, which is a common and easily missed reason for feeling drained. Energy returns as the stores are rebuilt.

How New Folinal Tablet works

L-methylfolate is the active form of folate (vitamin B9) used directly by the body for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. It helps correct folate deficiency, supports normal fetal neural tube development, and lowers elevated homocysteine levels.

How to take New Folinal Tablet

Take as advised by physician. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.

If you miss a dose
