Ketovite Tablets

How does it work?

This medicine contains vitamins B (complex), C, E and K along with folic acid. Vitamins are complex chemicals that are required for a variety of body functions. The body cannot manufacture these chemicals itself and has to obtain them from the diet. Most are required in extremely small amounts. A balanced diet, that includes different types of food, is likely to provide adequate amounts of vitamins. Inadequate intake of any vitamins over an extended period can lead to symptoms of deficiency. The type of symptoms depends on the vitamin concerned. Certain people are at risk of vitamin deficiency; these include pregnant or nursing women, infants and young children and the elderly who may not be eating a varied diet. In addition, strict vegetarians or patients taking lipid-lowering medicines may require additional vitamins. For complete vitamin supplementation Ketovite tablets should be used in conjunction with Ketovite liquid.
