How the BrandName works 

Below is the list of how each ingredient functions: 

1- Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C is absorbed through energy-dependent transporters in the small intestine and regulated by the kidneys. It acts as a cofactor and antioxidant, supporting enzyme functions, stabilizing vitamin E and folic acid, and enhancing iron absorption. It also neutralizes free radicals, detoxifies harmful substances, and reduces inflammation.

2- Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

It helps lower blood cholesterol levels by reducing the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

3- Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

It helps protect against oxidative stress and free radicals.

4- Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine-HCl)

Vitamin B6 is converted into pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) in the body. It plays a role in protein metabolism, energy production, DNA and RNA formation, and hemoglobin synthesis.

5- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Riboflavin acts as an oxidative stress reliever. Oxidative stress is caused by a notorious chemical called free radicals, which can damage cells.

6- Vitamin B1 (Thiamine mononitrate)

Vit. B1 functions by increasing cellular metabolism and preventing harmful sugar-protein interactions that contribute to cellular damage.

7- Folic acid

Folic acid is converted into its active forms, tetrahydrofolic acid (THF) and methyl tetrahydrofolate (MTHF), by enzymes in the body. These active forms help in the production of red blood cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.

8- Vitamin b12

Cyanocobalamin is an essential component for DNA formation in red blood cells (RBCs). A cobalamin deficiency leads to improperly formed RBCs, resulting in a reduced lifespan and anemia.

9- Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

It helps protect against oxidative stress and free radicals. 

10- Calcium

Calcium is an important mineral that supports cell signaling and bone health.
