Keplin 15mg Tablet contains L-methylfolate, the active form of Vitamin B9 (folate), used to treat folate deficiency, anemia, and support neurological health. Unlike regular folic acid, L-methylfolate is already in its active form, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilize, especially in individuals with absorption issues or genetic conditions like MTHFR mutation. It is commonly prescribed for megaloblastic anemia, depression support therapy, and cardiovascular health, helping improve red blood cell production and brain function.
