Uses & Nutritional Benefits of LYCOBEES Suspension
LYCOBEES Suspension provides a combination of carotenoid, B-vitamins and trace minerals for nutritional supplementation.
1. Lycopene and antioxidant support
Lycopene is a carotenoid found naturally in foods such as tomatoes and is classified as a non-provitamin A carotenoid. It has antioxidant activity.
2. Vitamin B3 support
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3. Niacin is involved in energy metabolism and normal cellular function.
3. Vitamin B6 support
Pyridoxine contributes to normal biochemical processes involving amino-acid metabolism and other physiological functions.
4. Vitamin B12 & folate support
Vitamin B12 and folate are important nutrients involved in DNA synthesis and normal blood-cell formation. Folate is also required for cell division.
5. Trace mineral supplementation
The formulation supplies selenium, zinc, manganese, iodine and copper. These minerals participate in several normal physiological processes, including antioxidant defense, thyroid function, enzyme activity and cellular metabolism. Selenium, for example, is required for thyroid hormone production and cellular protection.
How LYCOBEES Suspension Works
Lycopene
Lycopene is a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. It can help neutralize certain reactive molecules and contributes to the body’s antioxidant nutrient intake.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide supplies vitamin B3, which participates in metabolic pathways involved in converting nutrients into usable energy and supporting normal cellular function.
Pyridoxine
Vitamin B6 is involved in numerous enzyme reactions, including amino-acid metabolism and normal neurotransmitter synthesis.
Cyanocobalamin
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient involved in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation and normal nervous-system function.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is required for DNA and RNA synthesis and normal cell division.
Selenium & Zinc
Selenium contributes to antioxidant defense and thyroid function, while zinc is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions and normal cellular processes.
Suggested Use & Dosage
Use LYCOBEES Suspension only according to the dosage recommended by the physician or healthcare professional.
For administration:
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Measure the prescribed quantity using an appropriate measuring device.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Use regularly as directed when being used as a nutritional supplement.
Do not use the 10 mL composition as an automatic recommended dose for every individual. Age, nutritional status and the reason for supplementation can affect the appropriate dosage.
Possible Side Effects
LYCOBEES Suspension is generally expected to be tolerated when used appropriately, but individual reactions can occur.
Possible effects may include:
- Mild stomach discomfort
- Nausea
- Changes in bowel habits
- Unpleasant taste
- Hypersensitivity/allergic reaction in susceptible individuals
If unusual or persistent symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Precautions & Warnings
Before using LYCOBEES Suspension, inform your doctor/pharmacist if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have a thyroid disorder.
- Have kidney or liver disease.
- Are taking multiple vitamin/mineral supplements.
- Have a known allergy to any ingredient.
- Are taking regular prescription medicines.
Avoid taking multiple products containing the same vitamins or minerals unless recommended by a healthcare professional. Excessive intake of some vitamins and minerals can cause adverse effects.
Pregnancy
Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should discuss supplementation with their healthcare professional because nutrient requirements and appropriate doses differ during pregnancy.
Drug & Supplement Interactions
Because LYCOBEES contains multiple vitamins and minerals, inform your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements you take.
Particular attention may be needed when taking:
- Thyroid medicines
- Mineral supplements containing additional zinc, copper, selenium or manganese
- Other multivitamin preparations
- Medicines requiring specific mineral-related dosing separation
Your doctor or pharmacist can determine whether any adjustment or separation between products is necessary.
Storage Instructions
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Shake well before use.
- Do not use after the expiry date.

Who May Be Prescribed LYCOBEES Suspension?
Depending on individual nutritional requirements, a healthcare professional may consider this formulation for people requiring supplementation with lycopene, B-vitamins, folic acid and selected trace minerals.
It should not be presented as a substitute for a balanced diet or as a treatment for a specific disease without appropriate medical evaluation.
NIH guidance notes that dietary supplements can help increase nutrient intake when dietary intake is inadequate, but they should not automatically be assumed to provide additional health benefits when a person already receives adequate nutrients.
