How to Take

For oral administration. Can be taken with or after meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.

Mechanism of Action

B-complex vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic pathways, essential for energy production and cellular functions. Lysine is an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and enzyme production. Zinc is a vital trace element involved in numerous enzymatic reactions, immune function, DNA synthesis, and wound healing.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Nutritional effects are gradual, building over days to weeks with regular intake.

Excretion

Water-soluble B vitamins are primarily excreted via urine. Lysine is excreted in urine. Excess zinc is primarily excreted via feces.

Half life

Varies by individual component; B vitamins are water-soluble and excreted relatively quickly. Zinc has a longer biological half-life, subject to homeostatic control.

Absorption

B vitamins are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Lysine is actively absorbed from the small intestine. Zinc absorption varies but occurs primarily in the small intestine, influenced by dietary factors.

Metabolism

B vitamins are metabolized in the liver to their active coenzyme forms. Lysine is catabolized in the liver. Zinc is not metabolized but is incorporated into various metalloenzymes and proteins.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients

Drug Interactions

Antacids

Can reduce zinc absorption if taken concurrently.

Penicillamine

Quinolone antibiotics

Storage

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light. Do not freeze.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), abdominal pain, and headache. In cases of significant zinc overdose, copper deficiency may occur. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
