The vitamin C is advised for tone, magnesium against stress and a mixture of several vitamins would be useful to strengthen immunity.
Each year, Patrick Sitbon, doctor of pharmacy, sees more requests for these products but especially for natural products based on plant extracts. “We have a much more varied demand, much more extensive references. These are products that we recommend “, he explains. But according to the Health Security Agency, food supplements to fight fatigue would be an illusion.
