How ROSYCAP HC TABLET Works
ROSYCAP HC TABLET helps in controlling blood lipid levels, where B vitamins, including L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate, play a vital role in fat metabolism in the body by acting as the prime co-enzymes in essential oxidation-reduction reactions involved in various metabolic reactions.
Rosuvastatin works by slowing the synthesis of cholesterol in the body, thereby decreasing the amount of cholesterol that may stick to the walls of blood vessels and block the blood flow to the body parts. Vitamin D3 is known to lower triglyceride levels.
It is also known to have a correlation with increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol) but also with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol).
