Abstract
MESSRS. ORGANON LABORATORIES, LTD., Bretten-ham House, Lancaster Place, London, W.C.2, have recently put on the market a new preparation of vitamin tablets named “Davitamon-Five”. This preparation is intended for those people who wish to ensure that they are ingesting an adequate quantity of essential vitamins. The tablets are intended for the day-to-day prophylaxis and treatment of mild hypo-vitaminoses ; and since a number of research workers have made it clear that specific avitaminotic symptoms are abolished more rapidly when the diet is adequate in the other vitamins, they can also be used to provide a suitable background for an intensive single-vitamin therapy. Each tablet contains: 1,000 i.U. vitamin A ; 50 I.U. vitamin B1 ; 200 I.U. vitamin C ; 200 I.U. vitamin D ; 0.5 mgm. PP factor of the B complex. A sample of the tablets can be obtained from the above laboratories.
