Vitabiotics Cardioace Plus 60 Capsules are a food supplement combining 24 vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with omega-3 fish oil, 1300mg of plant sterols (phytosterols) and garlic extract. It is taken as 2 or 3 capsules a day with your main meal, and Vitabiotics states it replaces other Cardioace multivitamins, so no additional multivitamin is needed.
