Ferro-Max C Tablets provide a convenient and effective way to treat or prevent iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia. Each tablet contains a clinically balanced combination of ferrous sulfate (iron) and vitamin C (ascorbic acid), formulated to optimise iron absorption and restore healthy haemoglobin levels.

Iron plays a vital role in the transport of oxygen through the blood and supports energy production, concentration, and immune function. Vitamin C enhances intestinal absorption of iron, making Ferro-Max C a trusted choice for individuals with increased iron needs due to menstruation, pregnancy, growth, or low dietary intake.
