Nutritional supplementation to support overall health, particularly in cases of:

  • Boosting immunity, energy, and stamina.
  • Adjunctive in conditions with increased nutritional needs (e.g., post-illness, stress, poor diet).
    Amino acids aid protein building, cell repair, muscle recovery; vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, E) support metabolism, immunity, bone health, and antioxidant protection. Not for treating specific deficiencies/diseases without medical oversight.

Children 1–5 years: 10 mL (2 teaspoonfuls) once daily (consult pediatrician).
