What is Becozym forte and when is it used?

They have the task of making carbohydrates, fats and protein from food usable for energy production, for the structure and function of nerves, blood, skin and mucous membranes as well as muscles. The interaction of the B group vitamins is of the utmost importance.

• One-sided diet with light diets, slimming diets; Excessive alcohol consumption and a lack of appetite, such as occurs with feverish illnesses.

• Liver diseases that impair the incorporation of vitamins into the enzymes.
• Chronic alcoholism and its consequences, such as damage to the liver, heart and nervous system.
