APTIMUST SYP 200ML

About

Aptimust Syrup is a nutritional supplement and appetite stimulant primarily used to address conditions associated with poor appetite and inadequate weight gain. It commonly contains Cyproheptadine, an antihistamine with appetite-stimulating properties, which works by influencing serotonin receptors in the brain to increase hunger. Additionally, the syrup is often fortified with a blend of essential vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, iron, and zinc, to support overall growth, metabolism, and energy production. This combination helps to improve dietary intake, promote healthy weight gain, and correct nutritional deficiencies, making it beneficial for individuals recovering from illness, those with chronic conditions affecting appetite, or children with poor eating habits, thereby enhancing overall health and vitality.
