DESCRIPTION
METHYLCOBALAMIN ( active form vit. B12 )
useful for the long term treatment of pernicious anaemia
maintains healthy nervous system
essential for cell groth and replication
resolves the symptoms like fatigue,apathy,dizziness,debility and glossitis
PYRIDOXINE ( VIT. B6 )
useful in blood cell formation,improves immune system
low levelsof pyridoxine leads to weakness,glossitis,cheilosis ( cracking at the corners of the mouth ) and anemia.
in children pyridoxine deficiency is an important cause of seizures
deficiency of pyridoxine leads to secondary niacin ( vit. B 3 ) deficiency.
NIACINAMIDE ( VIT. B3 )
important for circulation and healthy skin,stabilizes cholesterol levels and maintains the nervous system.
deficiency leads to anorexia, weakness,weight loss, glossitis,stomatitis and pellagra.
BIOTIN
biotin is used in cell growth,the production of fatty acids,metabolism of fats and proteins and thus releases energy from food
biotin is also helpful in maitaining a steady blood sugar level
biotin deficiency results in dry scaly skin,fatigue,loss of appetite ,nausea,vomitin,mental depression and glossitis
ZINC
zinc is required for the catalytic activity of approximately 100 enzymes and it plays a role in immune function , protein synthesis , wound healing , DNA synthesis , and cell division . it also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence and is required for proper sense of taste and smell .Zinc deficiency is characterized by growth retardation, loss of appetite, and impaired immune function. In more severe cases, zinc deficiency causes hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism in males, and eye and skin lesions . Weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities, and mental lethargy can also occur
IRON

COPPER
copper deficiency includes neutropenia,anemia,osteoporosis and fracture of long bones
MANGANESE
manganese deficiency can lead to bone demineralization,poor growwth,ataxia and convulsions
CHROMIUM
chromium potentiates the action of insulin in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.in addition,in some patients,improvement in blood lipid profiles has been reported
L-LYSINE
L-lysine is an essential amino acid thatcan not be produced by thebody from other nutrients. it helps ensure adequate absorption of calcium and the formation of collagen
for bone,cartilageand connective tissue,lysine strengthens circulation and helps the immune system manufacture antibodies.it is necessary for all amino acid assimilation and assists in fat storage
deficiency of lysine can cause fatigue,nausea,anemia,tiredness,dizziness,loss of appetite and stunted growth.
SELENIUM
selenium serves to protect proteins,cell membranes,lipids and nucleic acids from oxidant molecules
VITAMIN D
vitamin D a fat soluble vitamin that regulates calcium and magnesium metabolism in the body.
Vitamin D promotes intestinal absorption of calcium, mobilization of calcium from bone stores, and retention of calcium by the kidneys. It is therefore essential for the calcification of bones and teeth.
New research has also found Vitamin D inversely associated with the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections
