Nutritional Supplement (Amino Acids and Vitamins)
Last reviewed July 2026
Who is this for?
This is a nutritional supplement that combines amino acids (the building blocks your body uses to make proteins) with essential vitamins to help support your overall health, boost energy, and improve body function.
Provides essential amino acids and vitamins that serve as cofactors and substrates for metabolic enzymes, ATP synthesis, protein synthesis, and cellular energy production, thereby replenishing nutritional stores and restoring physiological function during states of deficiency or metabolic demand.

If you miss a dose, just take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. No need to double up, as this is a supplement, not a strong medicine.
Buy only from reputable pharmacies, avoiding supplements from roadside sellers or market stalls as they may be fake or expired. This supplement is not a replacement for eating balanced meals, so try to eat well alongside taking it. Check the expiry date on the bottle before purchasing or using.
If you are already taking other multivitamin supplements, be careful not to double up on vitamins as too much of certain vitamins (like Vitamin A) can be harmful. If you are on blood-thinning drugs like warfarin, consult your doctor first as some vitamins can affect how the drug works. Alcohol can reduce how well your body absorbs the nutrients.
