Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
One tablet daily, preferably with a meal.
Elderly
One tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution and consult a physician, as some minerals may accumulate.
How to Take
Take orally with a glass of water, preferably with or after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins and minerals that act as cofactors in various metabolic processes, support cellular function, and help maintain physiological balance.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Gradual, as nutrients accumulate in the body.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and their metabolites are primarily excreted via the kidneys; fat-soluble vitamins and minerals are excreted via bile or kidneys.
Half life
Varies widely for individual vitamins and minerals.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; absorption rates vary by nutrient and presence of food.
Metabolism

High doses of Vitamin K can reduce the effect of warfarin (though Biovit Silver typically contains negligible Vitamin K).

May increase calcium levels.
Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics
Minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc can interfere with the absorption of these antibiotics. Take at least 2 hours apart.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and in severe cases, hypervitaminosis (especially with fat-soluble vitamins). Seek medical attention immediately.
