How to use
Take it exactly as your doctor or the label advises. Swallow the capsule whole with water, preferably after a meal.
How it works
B vitamins act as helpers (co-enzymes) in the chemical reactions that release energy from food and keep nerves and blood cells working. Vitamin C helps make collagen for skin, gums and wound healing, and acts as an antioxidant.
