Action
The vitamin-mineral complex is aimed at regeneration and maintenance of metabolic processes in the body, these actions are due to the balanced composition of the combined preparation.
Retinol is a powerful antioxidant that regulates the regeneration of the epidermis and hair restoration. Hisdeficiency can adversely affect vision, in addition, with a lack of vitamin A, the mucous membranes of epithelial cells are damaged, and the keratinization of the skin is increased. A sufficient amount of retinol helps improve skin, hair and nails. Lack of vitamin A in the first trimester of pregnancy can adversely affect the formation and development of the fetus. This microelement is a barrier against infection to the mother and child. In addition, it prevents any malformations, including respiratory, cardiovascular, genitourinary systems and visual organs of the fetus.
Thiamin regenerates DNA, and also takes part in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Its deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of developing neural tube disorders in the fetus, may be the cause of premature birth, acute heart failure in the infant.
Riboflavin prevents the aging process by neutralizing the negative effects of radicals on deoxyribonucleic acid and cell membranes, prevents cardiovascular disease and neoplasms. Vitamin B2 improves the condition of the nervous system, liver, skin and mucous membranes. The appearance of symptoms of cerebral position is considered a consequence of its insufficiency.
Nicotinic acid regulates the functions of the nervous system. It activates inhibitory processes in the central nervous system, softening the manifestation of neurosis and hysteria. Its lack for a long time can manifest itself as rare dizziness, sleep disturbance, migraine andirritability.
Adermin and cobalamin ensure the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, the appearance of red blood cells, and have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the liver. It has pronounced antidepressant properties, positively affects the nervous system. Lack of vitamin B6 is manifested by loss of appetite, nausea, irritability, depression. A sufficient amount of pyridoxine reduces the concentration of non-proteinogenic amino acids, increases the likelihood of conception.
Biotin normalizes the processes of energy and general metabolism, the work of the nervous system. In addition, it helps to maintain the youthfulness of the skin, the he alth of the mucous membranes and hair.
Folic acid during pregnancy improves blood counts, positive effects on maternal and fetal he alth.
Calciferol is essential for the absorption of calcium, as well as the normal functioning of the muscular system. Together with good nutrition and exercise, with sufficient intake of magnesium and calcium, vitamin D ensures the maintenance of the functional activity of bone tissue, slows down the destruction processes. When treating signs of low bone density, the combination of calciferol and calcium shortens the healing period for fractures and reduces the risk of re-fracture.
Tocopherol - a powerful antioxidant, helps protect cells, tissues and organs from the negative effects of free radicals. A sufficient amount of the vitamin prevents the acceleration of the aging process, the appearance of various pathologies anddisorders, including the cardiovascular system.
Ascorbic acid helps to ensure the density of the vascular walls, participating in the process of connecting natural connective tissues - fibrillar protein and elastin. Collagen is the main protein in blood vessels, skin, tendons, cartilage and ligaments.
When taken together with other antioxidant substances, including tocopherol and beta-carotene, ascorbic acid protects vision, slows down deterioration. It also enhances the bioavailability of iron and its regeneration in chelate complexes. Vitamin C stimulates the absorption of medicinal products containing iron. Ascorbic acid takes an active part in the growth and restoration of tissues, the healing of wounds and abrasions, and the preservation of teeth.
Iron is an integral part of hemoglobin. This element is involved in the processes of hematopoiesis and the transfer of oxygen by blood from the lungs to tissues. Iron is considered the main component of biological oxidation, which fill the body with energy.
Lack of calcium increases the risk of osteoporosis. Optimal calcium intake at a young age ensures the correct development of the skeleton and the achievement of a genetically predetermined weight. Sufficient calcium intake in old age reduces the development of osteoporosis and its severity.
