Many readers are interested in what "Antioxycaps with selenium" is: what it is for and how to take it. We will answer all these questions a little later. To begin with, we will deal with the form of release of the drug and its chemical composition. So, the drug is available in the form of red gelatin capsules.

Pharmacokinetics
The effect of the vitamin-mineral preparation "Antioxycaps with selenium" and zinc is the cumulative effect of all its ingredients, so it is not possible to conduct kinetic studies. It is impossible to trace the effect of all components of the drug at the same time using biological studies or markers.
Pharmacological action
The high therapeutic effect of the drug is achieved due to the complex additive action of vitamins and selenium on the activity of enzymes of the antioxidant system.
β-Carotene
The presented substance softens the harmful effects of environmental factors (chemical and radioactive pollution, electromagnetic radiation) exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating and antioxidant effects. Beta-carotene is an adaptogen, that is, a substance that increases the body's adaptive capabilities and resistance to stressful situations, protects cellular structures from the destructive effects of free radicals (nitrogen dioxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, etc.) in large quantities under the influence of adverse endo- and exogenous factors. β-Carotene in the human body is split into two retinol molecules under the influence of carotenases, which is why it is also called the precursor of vitamin A.
Ascorbicacid
Ascorbate activates protein and carbohydrate metabolism, increases blood clotting, regulates oxidative and reduction processes in the body, enhances tissue regeneration, participates in the biosynthesis of connective tissue proteins (collagen, procollagen) and steroid hormones. Vitamin C affects the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and macrophages. In addition, ascorbic acid is involved in the biosynthesis of interferon, enhances leukocyte chemotaxis, protects hemoglobin from oxidation, maintains the iron pool in the body, and optimizes blood cholesterol levels.
α-tocopherol acetate
Vitamin E is a universal protector of biomembranes from oxidative damage, protects cells from peroxide destruction. Tocopherol regulates the synthesis of scleroprotenoids, activates cell proliferation, optimizes the structure and function of cell membranes of epithelial cells, erythrocytes, endotheliocytes and enterocytes. Stimulates spermatogenesis, the synthesis of gonadotropins, the development of a child's place - the placenta. Tocopherol acetate (together with ascorbic acid) promotes the incorporation of Se into the active site of glutathione peroxyse, thereby activating the enzymatic antioxidant defense.
Selenium
Se is a microelement that is part of the selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase. The chemical element enhances the action of vitamins with antioxidant properties. It stimulates immunogenesis, in particular the formation of antibodies, takes part as an antioxidant in redox processes,respiration of cells, synthesis of specific proteins. Selenium deficiency in the human body causes necrotic degeneration in the tissues of the liver, kidneys and pancreas. In addition to these properties, selenium also exhibits anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic effects.

Types of Antioxycaps
One capsule of "Antioxycaps with zinc" contains 10 mg of ZnO (zinc oxide), which determines the additional properties of this drug. Zinc is a trace elementtaking part in the formation of bones, as well as the metabolism of nucleic acids and hormones. In reviews of the Antioxycaps drug, some patients speak about the effectiveness of medicines containing iodine and iron. "Antioxycaps with iron" activates the processes of hematopoiesis, enhances the synthesis of chromoproteins (myoglobin, hemoglobin). "Antioxycaps with iodine" affects the metabolism of substances, optimizes the morphofunctional state of the thyroid gland, enhances the processes of dissimilation. The appropriateness of the use of a particular medication should be determined by the attending physician.
Interaction with other drugs
Antibiotics of the tetracycline series, corticosteroids, as well as ethyl alcohol and ethanol-containing drugs, when used together, reduce the therapeutic effect of provitamin A (beta-carotene).
α-tocopherol acetate may increase the effectiveness of anticonvulsants in epilepsy patients with elevated levels of LPO (lipid peroxidation) products in the blood, as well as retinol and cholecalciferol.
The use of oral contraceptives reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid in the small intestine. Vitamin C improves iron absorption, increases the risk of critalluria in the treatment of salicylates (Aspirin, Acylpyrin, Bufferin, Taspir) and short-acting sulfonamides (Sulfadimidinomo, Sulfanilamidomo, Sulfaetidol, Sulfathiazole)).
Overdose
No cases of Antioxycaps overdose have been reported at this time. In case of accidental overdoseimmediate medical assistance.
