  • B vitamins – to aid the central nervous system
  • Magnesium – for muscle relaxation, regulating cardiac rhythm and nerve signalling

Easy to administer in a pre-loaded syringe, it can be used daily or in special situations such as to aid concentration during competition or to ease stress travelling.
