Multivitamin and Multimineral
A comprehensive combination of essential vitamins (such as Vitamin A, C, D, E, and B-complex) and minerals (like Zinc, Iron, Magnesium, and Selenium). These nutrients are critical cofactors in metabolic pathways, bone health, nerve function, and immune response when dietary intake is insufficient.
Dosage by Body Weight
Adults typically take one tablet or capsule daily, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance (RDA) unless directed by a physician. Pediatric liquid doses should be measured with a syringe or calibrated cup.
