Arcalion summary of product characteristics (ANSM)
Stress and tension can make many people feel temporarily tired, especially working women who are more prone to overwork as they juggle work, home and children! Solutions exist to overcome this feeling of exhaustion.
Symptoms vary according to the state of fatigue, but remain relatively similar. Problems of concentration and attention, as well as drowsiness, can be easily detected. A person suffering from fatigue will also be affected physically. Lack of strength, lack of desire, migraines, dull complexion - every action becomes an effort.
Treating the cause of fatigue is the best remedy. However, there are valid natural solutions to alleviate this state of fatigue. These include a balanced diet rich in: vitamin C, antioxidants, vitamins E and B, magnesium and iron. Essential oils can be effective in cases of fatigue: peppermint or black spruce essential oils have a stimulating effect.
Arcalion is not a product like any other. Read the package insert carefully before ordering. Keep medicines out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Beware of incompatibilities with your current products.
