Description

Slix Powder is a dietary supplement containing folic acid. It helps treat folic acid deficiency in females and acts as supplements. In pregnant females, these tablets promote healthy fetal development, and minimize the occurrence of congenital defects in babies, such as Cleft Lip and Neural tube defects, and aids in red blood cells formation. Slix powder also helps treat certain anemias, including Megoblastic (abnormally large red blood cells) and Macrocytic anemias. Folic acid is essential for both men and women. However, it holds greater significance in women because its deficiency can lead to anemia and several birth defects in babies. In men, folic acid may increase the sperm count.
