Do you need a supplement? No.
For Verapamil, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
