Nutritive

Provides nourishing vitamins and minerals

Nutritives nourish the body with readily absorbed vitamins, minerals and other nourishment. They are foods as much as medicines, building strength and resilience — especially during recovery or depletion.

Nutritive is a sub-action of Tonic. Where tonic restores, nourishes and strengthens overall vitality, nutritive is its narrower, more targeted form.
