Multivitamin and Amino Acid Supplement
Last reviewed July 2026
Who is this for?
This is a multivitamin and amino acid supplement that combines L-Lysine (an important protein building block your body cannot make on its own) with essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health, growth, and immune function.
Provides essential amino acids and water-soluble vitamins that function as coenzymes in energy metabolism (B-complex vitamins), collagen synthesis (Vitamin C and L-Lysine), immune function (Vitamin A and C), calcium absorption (Vitamin D), and cellular respiration, thereby restoring nutritional deficits and supporting metabolic recovery during malnutrition and illness.

If you forget to take a dose, just take it when you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for it. Since this is a supplement, missing one dose is not dangerous.
Buy only from reputable pharmacies, avoiding multivitamin syrups from roadside sellers or open markets where products may have been exposed to heat and sunlight, which can spoil them. Check the expiry date before buying and using. Do not use this supplement as a replacement for eating balanced meals, as it is meant to support your diet, not replace food.
If you are taking antibiotics like tetracycline, take this supplement at least 2 hours apart because the vitamins can reduce how well the antibiotic works. Avoid taking with antacids at the same time as they may affect absorption. If you are on blood-thinning medication like warfarin, consult your doctor before using this supplement as some vitamins can affect blood clotting.
