What are Forceval capsules used for?

Forceval capsules can be taken by people who have a medical condition that means they do not reach the daily required vitamins, minerals and trace elements from their food alone.

Taking Forceval capsules daily helps the body to carry out its essential functions including getting energy from food and repairing damaged cells.

How do Forceval capsules work?

These capsules are an oral nutritional supplement. When taken daily they are absorbed through the digestive system, in the same way as they would be when contained in food and drinks.

The 24 different vitamins, minerals and trace elements are then used by the appropriate part of the body to ensure they remain healthy and function appropriately. Any excess products are then excreted through urine or faeces.
