No, absolutely not. Potions and pills won't help your body imho. The vitamins and minerals in supplements and potions are extremely inferior compared to those found in REAL products of Nature. Always always choose Nature. You can not gain health from synthetic Big Pharma nonsense.
Metatone:
https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/3916/pil
"There is insufficient information available to determine whether some of the active ingredients have mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic potential, or the potential to impair fertility."
Metatone contains:
11% Alcohol
16.4 mg sodium per 5 ml dose
plus
Sucrose, Glucose Syrup, E123 and Caramel.
Gosh I wonder how this product works ?!!!!!
Like all these snake oil potions, they are merely carriers for sugars which trigger the pleasure receptors in the brain to make you FALSELY think you are feeling better and thus make you more likely to buy more of the product.
If you need such a false "feel good" factor then just eat a spoonful of sugar !
If you have run yourself down, which is likely imho, then just eat plenty of good fruits and vegetables to boost your immune system. There are plenty coming into season again.
Grab yourself a load of :
Pears, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi fruits and bananas and make a big bowl of fruit salad. Add a little natural yoghurt if you need to but remember that's lots of sugar and no fibre.
Make yourself a large batch of chilli with plenty of garlic, paprika and cayenne pepper and also load it with finely chopped courgettes, onions and chestnut mushrooms.
Buy yourself a bag of unwaxed lemons and a good chunk of fresh ginger.
Cut a lemon into quarters as is, remove as many pips as possible and then blend it all (skin, pith and all) with about an inch square cube of ginger and a little hot water to create a pale yellow milky liquid. Sieve it if you like.
Use this milky nectar like a concentrate. i.e. Use a little in the bottom of a mug, top up with hot water and add a small 1/2 teaspoon of honey to taste. This power packed drink will rejuvenate your body, help detox it and give you plenty of strong vitamins to boost your immune system.
Throw the Metatone away.
ATB as always
