Iron is vital for formation of new red blood cells and hemoglobin, a substance that gives these cells the ability to transport oxygen. Folic Acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells which carry oxygen throughout the body. It also contains vitamin B12 that restores its level in the body thereby helping in treating certain anemias and nerve problems.
