   • Supports healthy red blood cells and helps prevent iron-deficiency anaemia.
3. Good source of B vitamins
   • Especially vitamin B12, niacin (B3), and vitamin B6.
   • These vitamins support energy metabolism, nerve function, and red blood cell production.
4. Contains zinc
   • Important for immune function, wound healing, and healthy skin.
5. Provides selenium and phosphorus
   • Selenium acts as an antioxidant and supports thyroid function.
   • Phosphorus contributes to healthy bones and teeth.
