1.    WHAT IS EFFICO TONIC AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Effico Tonic is a vitamin tonic and appetite promoter which helps to combat the tiredness and listlessness that can follow a weakening illness or hospitalisation, thus aiding recovery.

Effico Tonic contains two ‘B’ vitamins; Thiamine (B1) and Nicotinamide.

Deficiency of these vitamins can cause fatigue, lethargy and loss of appetite.

Effico Tonic also contains caffeine, which acts as a gentle stimulant to combat tiredness.
