Enerflex Complexion Sachet

Enerflex Complexion Sachet is a powdered beauty supplement drink from the Enerflex range, supplied in single-serve sachets that are mixed with water. According to the product information on DoctorOnCall, each sachet combines hydrolysed marine collagen, L-glutathione, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 and hyaluronic acid. The pack listed on DoctorOnCall contains 15 sachets of 20g each.

The formula brings together ingredients that are commonly used in skin-focused nutritional supplements. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, while hydrolysed collagen provides collagen peptides, which are short protein fragments derived from fish skin or scales. Glutathione, coenzyme Q10 and hyaluronic acid are compounds the body also makes itself, and they are included for their antioxidant and moisture-related roles; the research on taking these three by mouth for skin appearance is still limited and emerging.

Enerflex Complexion Sachet is intended as a daily drink for adults who wish to add these nutrients to a balanced diet and skincare routine. It is not a medicine and cannot replace sun protection, a healthy lifestyle or medical care for skin conditions. Because the collagen is of marine origin, people with fish allergy should not use it, and the exact amount of each ingredient per sachet should be checked on the product packaging.

Empty the contents of 1 sachet into a glass containing about 100–150ml of cold or room-temperature water. Stir well until dissolved and drink immediately after mixing. Avoid using hot water. Follow the directions printed on the product packaging if they differ.

Adults: 1 sachet daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach or before bedtime, or as directed on the product packaging.

Do not exceed one sachet a day unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you already take other supplements containing vitamin C, collagen or glutathione, take your total intake into account. This product is not intended for children.

Refer to the expiry date printed on the product packaging. Do not consume the product after the expiry date or if a sachet is torn or damaged.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Keep unopened sachets in the original box, and use each sachet immediately once opened. Keep out of reach of children, and follow any additional storage instructions on the packaging.

• Common: Mild bloating or a feeling of fullness.
• Common: Mild digestive discomfort, such as nausea or loose stools, particularly when taken on an empty stomach.

• Uncommon: Large intakes of vitamin C from all sources may cause stomach upset or diarrhoea.
• Serious: Allergic reactions, especially in people allergic to fish or seafood, such as rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or difficulty breathing — stop use and seek urgent medical help.

• Allergy to fish, seafood or any ingredient in the product (the collagen is of marine origin).
• Children, unless advised by a doctor.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — safety of this combination has not been established; consult a doctor before use.
• People with a history of kidney stones, or conditions that cause iron overload (such as haemochromatosis), should consult a doctor because of the vitamin C content.

• Warfarin: Coenzyme Q10 has been reported to affect the response to warfarin; if you take warfarin, consult your doctor before use as INR monitoring may be needed.
• Blood pressure and diabetes medicines: Coenzyme Q10 may slightly lower blood pressure and blood sugar in some people; tell your doctor if you take these medicines.
• Chemotherapy or radiotherapy: Antioxidant supplements such as glutathione, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C should only be used during cancer treatment with the oncologist’s approval.
• Other supplements: Avoid doubling up on products that also contain vitamin C, collagen or glutathione without checking your total daily intake.
• Food: No specific food interactions are known; the drink can be taken on an empty stomach, but taking it with food may help if you experience stomach discomfort.

• Take one sachet at the same time each day so it becomes part of your routine.
• Use cold or room-temperature water and drink the mixture straight away.
• Allow at least 8–12 weeks of consistent use before judging whether the drink suits you.
• Pair it with daily sunscreen, adequate sleep and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and protein for the best skin care foundation.
• Check labels of your other supplements to avoid taking too much vitamin C or glutathione.
• Avoid this product if you are allergic to fish, and speak to a doctor first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on regular medication.

Precautions: Do not use if you are allergic to fish or seafood. Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease or a history of kidney stones, have an iron-overload condition, take warfarin, blood pressure or diabetes medicines, or are undergoing cancer treatment. Do not exceed the recommended serving, and take into account vitamin C, collagen or glutathione from other supplements. This product is intended for adults and should not replace a varied, balanced diet.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop using the product and seek medical help immediately if you develop signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling, hives or difficulty breathing. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if digestive discomfort persists, if you are unsure whether the product is suitable with your current medicines, or if you have a skin problem such as persistent acne, patches of discolouration or rashes that need proper diagnosis.
