Frequently asked questions FOR Richaxon
Methylcobalamin
Q. What is Methylcobalamin?
Methylcobalamin contains vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient which is required by the body to make red blood cells and maintain a healthy nervous system. It is also important for releasing energy from food and using vitamin B11 (folic acid).
Q. Why can’t I get sufficient vitamin B12 from my diet?
You can get vitamin B12 from sources like meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. While people who are vegetarian or vegan may not get Vitamin B12 as it is not found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains. Therefore, deficiency of Vitamin B12 is usually noticed in vegetarians or vegans.
Q. What happens if I have vitamin B12 deficiency?
Deficiency of vitamin B12 may cause tiredness, weakness, constipation, loss of appetite, weight loss and megaloblastic anemia (a condition when red blood cells become larger in size than normal). It may also lead to nerve problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency may include problems with balance, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory and soreness of the mouth or tongue.
Biotin
Q. What is Biotin? What is it used for?
Biotin consists of vitamin B7 which is commonly known as biotin. It is a water-soluble, B-complex vitamin that contributes to healthy metabolic, nerve, digestive and cardiovascular functions. Biotin helps to provide vitamin B7 which is essential for metabolizing fats and carbohydrates. This also helps strengthen hair, increase nail thickness and prevent split ends and thinning hair.
Q. What causes the deficiency of biotin?
The deficiency of biotin is extremely rare. However, it may be seen commonly in cases of inadequate dietary intake, alcoholism, smoking or a genetic disorder, such as Crohn’s disease, that affects biotin metabolism. Long-term antibiotic usage has also been associated with biotin deficiency.
Q. What are the symptoms of biotin deficiency?
Symptoms of a biotin deficiency include skin rashes, brittle and thinning hair and nails, seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia (hair loss). If you experience any of these, consult your doctor.
Selenium dioxide
Chromium Picolinate
Q. What is Chromium Picolinate used for?
Chromium Picolinate is a supplement used to support healthy blood sugar levels, particularly in people with chromium deficiency or type 2 diabetes. It may also be used for weight management and to improve metabolism.
Q. How should I take Chromium Picolinate?
Take one capsule daily, or as directed by your doctor, with or without food. Swallow the capsule whole with water and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine for best results.
Q. Can I take Chromium Picolinate with other medications?
If you are under medications, particularly for diabetes, consult your doctor before starting Chromium Picolinate. It may affect blood sugar levels and enhance the effect of certain drugs.
Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Inositol
Folic Acid
Q. Is it ok to take Folic Acid when not pregnant?
Usually, folic acid requirements are met from the diet and therefore additional supplements are not required. In general, Folic Acid is recommended only when you have a deficiency of folic acid. However, Folic Acid is advised to women who are pregnant and who want to conceive. The medicine should be taken at least 4 weeks before pregnancy and should continue its use up to 3 months of pregnancy. Consult your doctor if not sure.
Q. Can Folic Acid cause weight gain?
Animal studies on Folic Acid suggest that taking the medicine in excess along with a high-fat diet may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation. But this weight gain was not evident when taken along with a normal or low-fat diet, even with excess Folic Acid. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted and therefore knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Folic Acid eat a low-fat meal to be on the safer side.
Q. How long does Folic Acid take to work?
Folic Acid usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. If you are taking it for iron deficiency anemia, you may start feeling better after a few weeks of taking it. In case you are taking it during pregnancy, you may not notice any difference but this does not mean that the dose is not working. Continue taking Folic Acid for the duration recommended by your doctor.
