Mechanism of Action{}{}{}
<p style=\"text-align: left;\"> <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4046\">Iron</a> is an <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=3332\">essential</a> component in the formation of <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15738\">hemoglobin</a>. Adequate amounts of iron are necessary for effective erythropoiesis. Iron also serves as a cofactor of several essential <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15392\">enzymes</a>, including cytochromes that are involved in electron transport. <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=11365\">Folic acid</a> is required for nucleoprotein synthesis and the maintenance of normal erythropoiesis. Folic acid is converted in the <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4179\">liver</a> and <a href=\"http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=4934\">plasma</a> to its metabolically active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, by dihydrofolate reductase.</p>
