Now I feel fresh in the evening and all my symptoms of easy fatiguibility started vanishng. What is there in the drug which brought freshness. I have impaired glucose tolerance but not diabetic. Can U guide me.
Answer Dear Devendra
Your weight will not help this fatigue and also by lowering it a bit your hypertension will probably improve. However, I am not here to preach. You could be B vitamin deficient as it is most likely that the these vitamins, namely pyridoxine, nicotinamide, cyanacobalamin and folic Acid 1.5 mg will elevate your well being. The other ingredients and mainly antoxidants and will do no harm, maybe even some good.
