Vitamins A, E, and C can help relieve physical fatigue and are beneficial during pregnancy, lactation, and recovery from illness, as well as in old age. These vitamins help improve dry eyes and night blindness, as well as alleviate shoulder and neck stiffness, numbness, and coldness in the extremities due to peripheral blood circulation disorders or menopausal symptoms. Additionally, they help reduce pigmentation such as freckles and melasma caused by sunlight or skin conditions, and they also aid in preventing gum bleeding and nosebleeds. Zinc, when supplemented under these conditions, contributes to increased physical strength. Therefore, these ingredients are used for fatigue recovery and improving skin and vascular health.

How to take

Adult dose

Adults aged 12 years and older should take 1 capsule twice a day.
