SUPERVIT TAB S/P
MULTIVITAMIN WITH MULTIMINERAL + TRACE ELEMENT AND AMINO ACID TAB
SUPERVIT TAB S/P is a tablet combining multivitamins, multiminerals, trace elements and amino acids. It is used as a comprehensive nutritional supplement where dietary intake is inadequate, during convalescence, in restricted diets, and in periods of increased demand.
01
Benefits
- Provides a broad base of vitamins, minerals and trace elements in one tablet, covering the common gaps in a restricted diet.
- Added amino acids support tissue repair and protein synthesis where dietary protein is inadequate.
- Trace elements such as selenium, copper and manganese are frequently missing from simpler preparations.
- Useful during convalescence and after surgery, when requirements rise and appetite is poor.
- Once-daily dosing is simple to sustain.
02

Stop and get medical help if any of these occur

03
Precautions
- A dietary supplement, not a medicine, and not a substitute for a balanced diet or for diagnosing the cause of fatigue.
- Do not exceed the stated dose or take alongside another multivitamin — fat-soluble vitamins A and D accumulate and can reach toxic levels.
- Keep well out of reach of children. Accidental iron overdose in a small child is a medical emergency.
- Take after food, and separate from tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics and thyroid hormone by at least two hours.
- Use with caution in haemochromatosis, in renal impairment, and in patients on warfarin, where vitamin K content may affect control.
- Prolonged high-dose pyridoxine can cause peripheral neuropathy.
- Use in pregnancy only on medical advice — pregnancy requires a purpose-formulated preparation.
