  • Molybdenum: Involved in enzyme function and the breakdown of toxins.
  • Iodine: Essential for thyroid hormone production and proper metabolism.
  • (Some formulations may also include Iron, Calcium, Phosphorus, Chromium, etc.)
• Antioxidants:
  • Astaxanthin: A potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports immune function and skin health.
  • Lycopene: Another powerful antioxidant beneficial for cardiovascular health and skin protection.

Mechanism of Action: A To Z Syrup works by providing the body with a balanced array of essential micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that it might not be getting sufficiently from diet alone. These nutrients act as co-factors for various enzymes and play crucial roles in:

• Metabolism: Converting food into energy.
• Immunity: Strengthening the body’s defense mechanisms.
• Cellular Function: Supporting cell growth, repair, and protection from damage.
• Nervous System: Maintaining healthy nerve function and cognitive performance.
• Bone Health: Aiding in calcium absorption and bone formation.
• Skin, Hair, and Nails: Supporting their health and appearance.

Key Uses: A To Z Syrup is primarily used for:

• Treating and preventing nutritional deficiencies: Especially when dietary intake is suboptimal, during periods of increased demand (like growth spurts, pregnancy, or lactation), or due to certain illnesses affecting nutrient absorption.
• Boosting immunity: To help the body fight off infections and reduce the risk of illnesses.
• Combating fatigue and weakness: By supporting energy metabolism and overall vitality.
• Promoting overall growth and development: Particularly in children and adolescents.
• Aiding recovery from illnesses or surgery: By providing essential nutrients for tissue repair and healing.
• Protecting against oxidative stress: The antioxidants help neutralize free radicals that can damage cells.
• Supporting healthy skin, hair, and nails: Due to the presence of specific vitamins and minerals.

Side Effects

A To Z Syrup is generally well-tolerated when taken as directed. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects, especially if taken in excess:

Common Side Effects (usually mild and temporary):

• Nausea or stomach discomfort
• Mild diarrhea or constipation
• Headache
• Unusual or metallic taste in the mouth
• Yellow discoloration of urine (due to Vitamin B2/Riboflavin, which is harmless)

Less Common / Potentially More Serious Side Effects (seek medical attention if severe or persistent):

• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing.
• Symptoms of hypervitaminosis: While rare with standard doses, excessive intake over time can lead to toxicity, especially with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E). Symptoms can include severe headache, fatigue, bone pain, appetite loss, weight loss, vomiting, increased urination and thirst.
• Kidney stones: In susceptible individuals, high calcium levels (if Vitamin D intake is excessive) can increase the risk.

   • Blood Thinners (e.g., Warfarin): Some vitamins (like Vitamin K, though less common in this specific syrup) can interfere with blood thinners.
   • Certain Antibiotics: Minerals like Zinc can reduce the absorption of some antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, quinolones). Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours.
   • Antacids, Proton Pump Inhibitors (e.g., Omeprazole): Can reduce the absorption of certain vitamins and minerals.
   • Diuretics (Water Pills): Some diuretics (thiazides) can increase calcium levels.
   • Anti-epileptic drugs (e.g., Phenytoin): May affect Vitamin D and Folic Acid levels.
