Introduction About COEDHEA PLUS CAPSULE

How COEDHEA PLUS CAPSULE Works
COEDHEA PLUS CAPSULE helps in the production and development of healthy eggs in women, which in turn improves fertility and chances of pregnancy. Dehydroepiandrosterone inhibits voltage-gated T-type calcium channels and converts cholesterol to oestrogens and androgens that exert effects in target tissues. And L-methylfolate manages low folate levels and helps in the production of red blood cells.
