Why is it important for people with diabetes?
People with diabetes have specific nutritional needs, often not completely satisfied with common multivitamins or diet alone.
​
What is that?
Multibetix® is a complete food supplement that acts on the immune, cardiovascular, nervous and visual systems. Unlike common multivitamins, the Multibetix® formula does not contain Iron, Copper and Vitamin K which, if consumed in excess, can increase the risk of developing complications. Instead, it contains distinctive elements such as DHA, alpha-lipoic acid and lutein which prevent the degeneration of blood vessels, nerve fibers and the ocular sphere.​
​
How is it used?
It is recommended to take two capsules per day.
