General loss of energy? Fortivits is a dietary supplement combining the power of Greater Galanga with the benefits of tyrosine and vitamin C.
Lepivits was keen to offer a supplement containing a patented active ingredient that meets one of society's most common needs, namely physical and nervous fatigue!
Greater galangal, often known to everyone for its beneficial properties for joints[1], has also been the subject of numerous studies with an impact on tone and alertness[2]. In fact, it has been shown that the patented EnXtra™ extract has the ability to stimulate the whole body by acting on both physical and mental fatigue. It is also a wonderful natural alternative to coffee for boosting energy levels and alertness[3]. This boost to mental acuity is further enhanced by the presence of tyrosine, an essential precursor in the production of the catecholamines that keep us awake[4]. Last but not least, vitamin C rounds off this formula to create the perfect anti-fatigue synergy!
