Abstract
Introduction: The classical formulations are amended from time to time according to the need of healthy as well as disease conditions. This flexibility has insured its existence until today.

Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. When there is not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells, oxygen cannot get to all parts of the body. Organs then become starved for oxygen and are unable to function properly.
