What is Bunto Blood Tonic?
Bunto Blood Tonic is a trusted hematinic (blood-building) and multivitamin syrup manufactured in Nigeria by Tuyil Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It is formulated as a pleasant pineapple-flavored syrup designed to stimulate the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells.

Important Safety Information & Side Effects
Like most iron supplements, Bunto Blood Tonic may cause mild side effects:
- Stomach Upset: Some users may experience nausea or mild constipation.
- Dark Stools: It is normal for your stool to appear darker while taking iron-containing tonics.
- Does it make you sleep? Bunto is not a sedative. However, treating anemia can improve overall health and energy levels, which may lead to better rest.
