Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 25mg
: aids the nervous system & is essential for the functioning of certain enzymes which have vital roles in the processes that make energy available in the body. This is also essential for the transmission of certain types of nerve signal between the brain & spinal cord.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg
: is important in protein metabolism & the function of a number of enzymes in the body. It also promotes healthy skin, essential for maintaining healthy nervous system & formation of haemoglobin in red blood cells & antibodies that help fight infection.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 75mcg
: is essential for recycling certain important enzymes in the body to maintain health of blood, nerve & other cells.
Folic Acid or Folate 1mg
: is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the formation of red blood cells & has been shown to reduce the levels of amino acid (homocysteine).This reduction may have a protective effect against heart disease. In women, additional folic acid supplementation is crucial for efficient neural tube (which forms the brain & spinal cord) development during pregnancy.
Magnesium 50mg
: is a mineral stored through out the body tissues. It is needed for the formation of many enzymes in the body which release energy from food. It is vital for the nervous system & muscle movement & for the formation of healthy bones & teeth.
Zinc 50mg
