Leucovorin

Leucovorin is a form of folic acid, a vitamin essential for cell growth and repair. It is used in medicine to help protect healthy cells during cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, by reducing side effects. Additionally, leucovorin enhances the effectiveness of certain chemotherapy drugs and can treat specific types of anemia caused by folic acid deficiency. Essentially, it supports the body's ability to produce and maintain healthy cells, especially when they are threatened by medical treatments or deficiencies.
