Zevit tablet

PHARMACOLOGY
Zevit is a multivitamin formulation, unique in nature. It is a capsule with oil-soluble Vitamin A & Vitamin E in soy oil, and a floating tablet with a hydrophobic coating containing vitamins and minerals with Ginseng.

The unique flow-fit capsule has a thermo-sealed band, ensuring on leakage of the capsule. The hydrophobic coating ensures no reaction of the oil with the tablet. All vitamins stay in their natural state.

ZEVIT contains, as its active ingredients, balanced amounts of all the important vitamins, essential minerals, and trace elements. Vitamins are essential substances that are supplied to the body in food. Minerals are indispensable for the metabolism and for growth and regeneration of the (for instance, for bones, blood, etc).

Finally, trace elements are vital substances which are required by the body in minute quantities but which are not always supplied in the daily food in adequate amounts.

ZEVIT is used for the prevention and rapid elimination of general vitamin deficiencies.

ZEVIT is used when there is an increased need for vitamins and minerals, particularly during illness, in times of particular exertion and when increased performance is required.

ZEVIT is recommended whenever a deficiency of vitamins and minerals is at risk of developing: during convalescence after illness or surgery, in debilitated elderly patients, when you have to take antibiotics if you want or have to keep to a special diet, or chronic alcoholism and unbalanced diet.

ZEVIT is obtainable as capsules. The capsules are best swallowed whole with some liquid during meals.
