Vitamin B Complex with L-Lysine
Vitamin B Complex with L-Lysine is a combination dietary supplement. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that helps in the synthesis of proteins, absorption of calcium, and stimulation of appetite, especially in children. The Vitamin B complex components (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12) play a critical role in cellular metabolism, energy production, and the proper functioning of the nervous and immune systems.
