The short answer
Royal Vit G (Sedico) and Royal Ginsovita (Avantic) share the same foundation: Korean ginseng and royal jelly. Everything after that differs. Royal Vit G adds iron, calcium, phosphorus and bee pollen — nutrients most people already get from food and shouldn’t supplement without a blood test. Royal Ginsovita adds vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, iodine and folate — the ones people are most commonly short on. Price: EGP 160 versus EGP 190 for a 20-capsule pack.

What each one actually is
Royal Vit G
An Egyptian supplement made by Sedico, and one of the oldest and best-known general tonics on the market. Its formula belongs to the classic tonic school: a broad spread of vitamins and minerals, plus bee pollen, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) and soya lecithin. Sold as 20 capsules in two strips.
Royal Ginsovita
An Egyptian supplement made by Avantic, registered with the National Food Safety Authority under number 2024/10827 and manufactured in Egypt. Its formula belongs to a newer school: 18 nutrients, each listed with its percentage of the daily requirement, weighted toward the vitamins and minerals people actually run short on. Available in 20 or 30 capsules.
Formula compared, nutrient by nutrient
The table below compares what is in one capsule of each. Percentages in the Royal Ginsovita column are the daily values stated by Avantic.

Scroll the table sideways on mobile. Royal Vit G amounts are compiled from published Arabic pharmaceutical sources and vary slightly between them. Vitamin E converts from IU to mg differently depending on whether the form is natural or synthetic, so the two figures are not directly comparable.
Where each one leads
Royal Vit G leads on
- Iron, 10 mg — absent from Ginsovita entirely
- Calcium and phosphorus — 90 mg and about 65 mg
- Vitamin B1 at a high dose: 15 mg
- Vitamin B12 at double the amount
- Bee pollen, PABA, DMAE, lysine and copper
- Price — about 19% less per capsule
Royal Ginsovita leads on
- Vitamin C, 80 mg — absent from Vit G entirely
- Zinc, ten times more — 10 mg against 1 mg
- Folate — 340 against 25 micrograms
- Biotin — 50 against 3 micrograms
- Magnesium and iodine — neither is in Vit G
- More ginseng, and a stated daily value for every nutrient
- A 30-capsule pack for a full month’s course
Price, in real numbers
20 capsules
20 capsules — EGP 190
30 capsules — EGP 285
The gap is EGP 1.50 per capsule, or about 19%. Over a month that comes to roughly EGP 45. The practical question: are vitamin C, ten times the zinc, magnesium, iodine and folate worth EGP 45 a month to you?
Worth noting that Royal Vit G has seen a steep price rise recently, part of a broader wave of increases across supplements and medicines in Egypt — which is what sent many of its users looking for alternatives in the first place.
Which one fits you
Safety — this applies to both
Both products contain ginseng and royal jelly, so they share most of the same cautions:
Before you start
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: neither should be taken without medical advice.
- Royal jelly can trigger allergic reactions, particularly in people allergic to bee stings or with asthma.
- Ginseng may interact with blood thinners and with diabetes and blood pressure medication, and can disturb sleep if taken in the evening.
- Autoimmune conditions: check with your doctor before any ginseng-containing supplement.
- Royal Vit G specifically: contains soya lecithin and bee pollen, both common allergens.
- Royal Ginsovita specifically: contains no iron, so it is not a treatment for anaemia.
Both are dietary supplements, not medicines. Neither replaces a balanced diet, and neither replaces advice from a doctor or pharmacist — especially if you take regular medication.
Can you swap one for the other?
For most cases of general fatigue and low energy, yes. Both formulas serve the same purpose and share the same base of ginseng and royal jelly. Swapping does not work in two situations:
- If you take Royal Vit G specifically for the iron — Royal Ginsovita will not replace it.
- If a doctor prescribed it for a particular condition — that call belongs to your doctor, not to a comparison table.
Going the other way, someone moving from Royal Vit G to Royal Ginsovita gains vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and iodine that were never there before, and gives up iron, calcium and phosphorus.
Frequently asked questions
The bottom line
If what you want is broader daily coverage of vitamins and minerals — vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and iodine in particular — Royal Ginsovita is the better fit, for roughly EGP 45 more a month. If you have a confirmed iron deficiency, or if budget is the deciding factor, Royal Vit G remains a sensible choice.
Either way: a supplement supports, it does not treat. If you have a chronic condition or take regular medication, the decision belongs to your doctor or pharmacist.
