The basis for the he althy functioning of the nervous system, the beauty of hair and skin, normal digestion, the speed of cognitive processes is the presence of B vitamins in the blood. Reviews about them are different: for some, the injectable form is more suitable, for other people - tableted. The pharmaceutical industry offers a variety of drugs that in one way or another satisfy people's need for these essential vitamins.
List of B vitamins
List of the most popular and vital B vitamins in pharmacies:
- thiamine, or vitamin B1;
- riboflavin, or B2;
- pyridoxine, or B6;
- cyanocobalamin, or B12.
This list also includes folic and nicotinic acids, but their structural formula is somewhat different from the trace elements listed above.
You can avoid the deficiency of any substances if fullyeat. Alas, the diet of the average modern person is far from ideal. Almost every adult person regularly drinks coffee and alcoholic beverages - and they very quickly wash out both vitamins and trace elements from the body. Therefore, every adult (teenagers and children during periods of great mental and physical stress) should drink a course of a multivitamin complex every six months.
If possible, it is better to give preference to the injectable form of B vitamins. When taken orally, they are absorbed only partially. When injected intramuscularly, they enter the bloodstream almost immediately, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract.
Pyridoxine: effects and symptoms of deficiency
Consequences of vitamin B6 deficiency:
- impaired production of red blood cells and hemoglobin;
- low immunity, frequent colds;
- impaired glucose uptake by the cells of the nervous system;
- violation of protein and fat metabolism;
- high blood cholesterol;
- impaired functioning of liver cells;
- problems with intelligence, memory, reaction speed.
If a person feels overwhelmed, gets tired quickly, suffers from low performance, hair loss, acne, he has frequent skin manifestations of allergies (dermatitis, urticaria, eczema) - most likely, he needs a course of pyridoxine. Reviews of B vitamins indicate that most often, analyzes show a deficiency of this particular microelement. Just ten days of daily injections of pyridoxine can saturate the body with thisvitamin.
Thiamin: deficiency and pharmacological form of release
Thiamin is produced in the form of ampoules with liquid for intravenous administration "Thiamin", as well as in the complex preparations "Milgamma", "Combilipen" (also in the form of ampoules for injections). There are wonderful tablet preparations of domestic production with thiamine in the composition - "Rhinitis", "Pentovit". It is also a part of foreign multivitamin complexes - Supradin, Doppelhertz.
Reviews of B vitamins report that by taking thiamine, you can quickly regain high performance and strengthen your nervous system. It is she who is primarily affected by thiamine deficiency. The symptoms are:
- irritability, outbursts of unmotivated aggression;
- headaches of unknown cause;
- insomnia, inability to sleep due to physical activity;
- a person is constantly excited, he feels tired, but he cannot rest because of the disinhibition of the nervous system.
Over time, skin problems develop: frequent dermatitis, eczema, scabies. A person can easily become infected with lichen, onychomycosis, and various skin mites.
Cyanocobalamin: effects of deficiency on the body
This is known to every physician B12. With its deficiency, cobalamin anemia develops. Her symptoms:
- shortness of breath;
- pallor of the skin;
- dizziness, faintness;
- deterioration of the blood composition and, as a result, a decrease in the body's defenses;
- inflammation of the oral mucosa, tongue, gums;
- problems with the vestibular apparatus.
Severe cobalamin anemia develops autoimmune diseases. A person often gets sick with a cold. If there is a tendency to liver diseases due to an unhe althy lifestyle, with B12 deficiency, cirrhosis appears very quickly or fatty degeneration of the organ develops. The composition of the blood changes, all body systems suffer.
Riboflavin: role in the body and deficiency symptoms
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is essential for liver he alth. Every person over the age of thirty should definitely take B2 orally or take injections of this vitamin on a regular basis. Water-soluble riboflavin is not stored in the body for a long time. Its rapidly depleting reserves are found in the liver, kidneys, and heart. The body needs constant replenishment of its deficiency.
Deficiency symptoms Q2:
- red, itchy eyes;
- itchy skin due to the inability of the liver to detoxify;
- "night blindness", or poor vision at dusk;
- cataract;
- frequent headaches;
- chronic fatigue;
- poor performance.
What to choose: tablet or injectable form
Reviews of B vitamins indicate that the injectable form is much more preferable than the tablet form. Doctors confirm that these speculations did not arise onempty space.
Studies have shown that almost all B vitamins are absorbed much worse when taken orally. Therefore, sometimes neuropathologists prescribe a double dosage of drugs in capsules or tablets. But if you give injections, then the entire volume of the administered drug is almost guaranteed to be absorbed.
Reviews of B vitamins in tablets can also be positive: for example, Magne B6, Doppelhertz, Alphabet, Supradin are excellent complex multivitamin preparations, the action of which satisfies almost all ordinary people. But if there is a shortage of a specific substance from group B - definitely, it is better to prefer the use of ampoules with liquid for intramuscular injection.
Reviews of doctors about tablet complexes
Medicine recognizes the effectiveness of the following tablet preparations with B vitamins (reviews about which ordinary people are ambiguous - the complex is suitable for someone, but for someone it also causes an allergic reaction or many side effects):
- "Doppelhertz";
- "Supradin" in effervescent form and in the form of dragees;
- "Alphabet";
- "Pentovit";
- "Neuromultivit";
- "Rhinitis";
- "Perfect";
- "Nagipol";
- "Evisent".
This is just a short list of the most popular drugs. Doctors (trichologists, therapists, dermatologists, neuropathologists) prescribe preciselythem if it is impossible for one reason or another to use B vitamins in ampoules. Reviews of physicians are different. For example, dermatologists prefer to prescribe the good old "Pentovit", and neuropathologists - "Magne B6" or "Supradin".
Reviews on vitamin B complexes
Girls who are trying to get rid of alopecia and skin problems leave positive feedback about vitamins B. "Pentovit" is especially popular: girls testify that after two weeks of regular intake, hair begins to fall out less, skin condition improves. "Perfectil" is often prescribed by dermatologists and trichologists - it contains a complex of all B vitamins, as well as minerals and other vitamins. Reviews about him are also positive: the girls testify that the skin condition is improving before their eyes.
Patients of neurologists leave negative reviews about B vitamins in tablets. Alas, their action is not enough to get rid of insomnia, irritability, autoimmune diseases and other symptoms and consequences of thiamine and pyridoxine deficiency. But the reviews of the same people about injectable forms are better. "Neuromultivit", "Combilipen" - these are the drugs that contain B vitamins and reviews of which are at the peak of ratings.
"Magne B6" with pyridoxine in the composition
Since magnesium is essential for the normal functioning of all body systems, its deficiency affects the state of almost all vitalimportant organs. Often, Magne-B6 is prescribed for painful conditions where other drugs have not been effective or the causes of the disorders are unclear. The composition is not without reason enriched with pyridoxine: it is in conjunction with it that magnesium is absorbed completely and does not cause side effects (with the exception of individual intolerance and allergic reactions). It is often used as part of complex therapy aimed at improving the condition of pregnant women. The release form of the drug is a white oblong-shaped dragee.
