Liviton Elixir 200ml

Liviton Elixir is a long-established tonic from Adcock Ingram, formulated to relieve fatigue caused by a stressful daily life. Each 5ml provides vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6, 50mg of caffeine, liver extract, potassium and sodium glycerophosphates and copper, in a cola-flavoured liquid. The B vitamins support energy release from food, and the caffeine gives an immediate lift in alertness. It is taken in the morning and early afternoon during demanding periods. B vitamins are water-soluble and are not stored in any quantity, so they need to be replaced daily. They drive energy production in every cell and support the nervous system, concentration and red blood cell formation. Caffeine blocks the adenosine receptors that signal tiredness, giving a quick lift in alertness.

Some weeks ask more of you than you have to give. Stress, alcohol, the contraceptive pill, metformin and acid-suppressing medicines all increase B vitamin losses or reduce absorption. Tiredness, poor concentration, mouth ulcers and tingling in the hands or feet are common signs of a shortfall.
