What does it do?

Orotic acid hydrate is a substance related to the B vitamin group, involved in nucleic acid synthesis and cellular metabolism in the body. It is primarily used to support hematopoietic functions for the treatment of anemia and nutritional supplementation. It is included in various mixed vitamin and mineral formulations to help maintain bodily functions.

Orotic acid hydrate acts as a precursor necessary for nucleic acid synthesis in the body, contributing to red blood cell production. This enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and promotes metabolism. As a result, it alleviates anemia symptoms and improves overall nutritional status.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
