B COMPLEX + LYSINE

BCCARE SYP 225ML is an oral syrup combining B-complex vitamins with the essential amino acid lysine.

Benefits

  • B-complex vitamins are cofactors in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, and deficiency commonly presents as fatigue and poor appetite.
  • Lysine is an essential amino acid the body cannot make, and is often the limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets.
  • Lysine has an appetite-stimulating effect that is useful in children and convalescents who are eating poorly.
  • The B group supports normal nerve function and red cell formation, and helps correct the glossitis and cheilitis of deficiency.
  • The syrup form suits children, the elderly and anyone who cannot manage tablets, and allows the dose to be adjusted.

Precautions

  • A dietary supplement, not a treatment for any disease, and not a substitute for a balanced diet.
  • Contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to any component.
  • Yellow urine is expected and harmless — tell the patient, or they will stop the syrup.
  • Patients with chronic kidney disease should take amino acid supplements only on medical advice.
  • Prolonged high-dose pyridoxine can cause peripheral neuropathy; do not exceed the recommended dose or duration without advice.
  • Persistent fatigue or poor appetite needs a diagnosis, not just a supplement — investigate rather than continuing indefinitely.
  • Shake before use, keep tightly closed, and use within the period stated after opening.
