Indications

Costin 250 is used to help lactating mothers get the right balance of calcium, vitamins, and minerals for their child’s development. Costin 250 also helps with the deficiency of nutrients after childbirth and can address calcium and nutrient deficiencies.

Pharmacology

Costin 250 is important for the body because Costin 250 helps bones, nerve cells, muscles, and other vital organs work properly. Without enough calcium, the body will take Costin 250 from the bones, making them weaker and causing bone problems. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium. Having enough calcium and vitamin D3 is important for strong bones and healthy muscles. Magnesium strengthens bones. Vitamin A helps maintain good vision and healthy skin, nails, and hair. Vitamin E protects cells as an antioxidant. Vitamin C supports healthy gums, skin, and tissues. Folic acid helps with cell division and blood regeneration. Iron is important for healthy red blood cells and oxygen transport. Selenium boosts the immune system. Vitamin B6 is needed for energy production from food. Biotin helps skin and hair growth. Pantothenic acid supports healthy skin and mucous membranes. Some nutrients like copper, manganese, zinc, and chromium are important for bone health. Calcium and vitamins are necessary for the growth and development of babies, especially through breastfeeding. Therefore, Costin 250 is essential for lactating mothers to get enough calcium, vitamins, and minerals for their health and the baby’s development.
