Bunto Blood Tonic (1L) - Effective Iron & Vitamin Supplement
Bunto Blood Tonic is one of Nigeria’s most trusted hematinics for building blood, boosting energy, and supporting recovery. Manufactured by Tuyil Pharmaceutical Industries, this 1-liter value pack is ideal for families, pregnant women, and individuals recovering from illness who need consistent nutritional support.
How Bunto Blood Tonic Works
Bunto combines essential minerals and B-complex vitamins to stimulate red blood cell production and address nutritional deficiencies:
- Ferric Ammonium Citrate: A highly absorbable form of iron that directly builds hemoglobin to carry oxygen throughout the body.
- Folic Acid & Vitamin B12: Critical for DNA synthesis and preventing megaloblastic anemia (low blood).
- Zinc & Copper: Trace minerals that support immune function and efficient iron metabolism.
- B-Complex Vitamins (B1, B2, B6, Nicotinamide): Help convert food into energy, reducing the fatigue and "weakness" often felt with iron deficiency.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treats Anemia: Effectively addresses iron deficiency and nutritional anemia.
- Pregnancy Support: Helps meet the increased iron and folic acid demands for both mother and baby.
- Fast Recovery: Perfect for regaining strength after malaria, surgery, or childbirth.
- General Wellness: Useful for growing children and seniors who need a nutritional boost.
Dosage & Administration
- Adults: 10ml (2 teaspoonfuls) three times daily.
- Children: 5ml (1 teaspoonful) once or twice daily.
- Note: It is best taken after meals to improve absorption and minimize the risk of stomach upset.
Safety Information & Side Effects
While generally safe, Bunto Blood Tonic may cause:
- Dark-colored stools: This is normal and harmless when taking iron supplements.
- Mild Nausea: Taking the tonic after food usually helps.
- Constipation or Diarrhea: Some individuals may experience mild digestive changes.
