Hi Dr. Sundriyal,

I am currently outside US and I checked about suppliment like fefol or fersolats or haem up in my country, but I did not find them.

I found another supplement like Folic acid and Ferrous sulfate 200 mg for iron.

Are these good? if not could you please give me another supplement?

Thank you so much and regards
