Indications

This product is recommended for addressing and/or preventing deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that may arise from restricted diets, inadequate food intake, alcohol consumption, or diminished absorption. It is also beneficial for individuals with heightened nutritional needs due to acute or chronic illnesses, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, infections, antibiotic therapy, and recovery periods. For the prevention of serious birth defects, supplementation with this tablet is advised periconceptionally (three months before conception through the first trimester of pregnancy).

Composition

Pharmacology

Vitamins and minerals are vital for normal metabolic processes, including blood cell formation. Vitamin B-group components are integral to enzyme systems regulating carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Vitamin C aids in tissue repair and collagen synthesis, while vitamin A supports retinal function and tissue growth. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, preserving cellular integrity. Vitamin D is crucial for preventing and treating nutritional rickets and hypoparathyroidism. Minerals like iron, copper, manganese, and zinc serve as catalysts in essential cellular functions.
