How it works
Hosit-L Tablet is a combination of Levocarnitine, Methylcobalamin and Folic acid. Levocarnitine works by improving the low levels of carnitine in the body. Folic Acid is an anti-anaemic medication. It replenishes the iron stores in your body which is responsible for the formation of new red blood cells and haemoglobin, a substance that gives these cells the ability to transport oxygen. Methylcobalamin rejuvenates the damaged neurons. It works by functioning in the production of a compound called myelin, which covers and protect nerve fibres.
