Therapy/Class:
Mechanism of Action:
L-Lysine Hydrochloride: Lysine is one of the nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from dietary sources. It is crucial for children’s growth and development, especially during periods of rapid growth such as infancy, childhood, and adolescence. It helps in protein synthesis, tissue repair, and collagen formation. It may be included to support overall protein and tissue health.
Vitamin C: It is necessary for the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein that provides strength and structure to the various tissues of the eye, including the cornea, sclera, and blood vessels. Adequate vitamin C intake is crucial during childhood to support the growth and development of these ocular structures. It also plays a role in maintaining the health and function of the retina by protecting it from oxidative damage and supporting the production of neurotransmitters necessary for transmitting visual signals to the brain.
Magnesium Hydroxide: It helps in Bone Formation by helping in absorption and metabolism of calcium. It also contributes to bone density by regulating the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for building bone tissue.
Iron: It is essential for the production of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron is crucial for preventing and treating iron deficiency anaemia, a common condition in children characterized by low levels of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Iron supports healthy growth and development, cognitive function, and immune system function in children.
Multivitamins (Nicotinamide + D-Panthenol + Pyridoxine + Ribofalvin + Thiamine Hydrochloride + Folic Acid + Cyanocobalamin): It plays important roles in supporting the health and development of children by providing Nutrient Support for Growth, Immune System Support, Energy Metabolism & Mineral Balance.
Vitamin A: It is essential for vision, as it is a component of rhodopsin, a protein in the eyes that allows us to see in low-light conditions. Vitamin A is also important for immune function, skin health, and the proper functioning of various organs.
Vitamin E: It is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. It supports immune function, skin health, and acts as a protective factor against oxidative stress. Vitamin E is also involved in the regulation of gene expression and cell signalling.
