Effects of Philatop
The components contained in Philatop are all nutritious and have specific functions, as follows:
Animal Liver: This component is rich in nutrients beneficial for the human body. Its main ingredient is protein, which is very effective for muscle development, alongside many essential amino acids for nerve cell activity. Animal liver also contains substances like iron, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A, K, B1, B6, phosphorus, etc.
Granulated Sugar: An indispensable ingredient in our food and beverages. Granulated sugar adds sweetness, enhances flavor, and provides energy for human activities. Under necessary conditions, sugar can convert into protein and lipid to replace these components’ roles.
Vanillin: Plays a role in the formation and development of muscle tissues. It promotes healing of injuries and quickens scar formation. A deficiency of vanillin can slow down neurological development in children.
Banana Oil: Stimulates the taste and smell of children, creating a pleasant aroma to help children use it easily.
With its nutritious components, Philatop is a supplement that helps boost human immunity. In the current complex situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, enhancing immunity is extremely important to fend off diseases and maintain a healthy body.
