The main ingredient of Pharmaton capsules is natural panax ginseng extract, a root plant known for its calming effect and widely accepted as a natural remedy for stress and tiredness. The capsules contain a variety of vitamins, including vitamins A, C, D and B, and minerals, including iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium. Arachis oil, also known as peanut oil, is also used in Pharmaton capsules. This has no medicinal value, but acts as a substance to carry these ingredients and help them be absorbed into the human body.
