In the season of flu and colds, we often think about vitamins that help our body resist dangerous viruses and microbes. Today we want to tell you about a vitamin-drug that is in every pharmacy, it is very inexpensive and gives excellent results. It is more common in Ukraine than in Russia, however, it is quite common in our pharmacies.
Short description
Slightly below will be the instructions for use. Ascocin is a human drug, we emphasize this point because there is a drug similar in name, but completely different in composition, for bees. To make it clearer, we will definitely tell you about both of these medicines. So, the vitamin-mineral drug complex is used to treat beriberi and hypovitaminosis. The drug is available in the form of chewable tablets with a pleasant orange flavor.
Active ingredient
Drugsold through the pharmacy network without a doctor's prescription. However, it is not recommended to self-medicate and take even such a drug as Ascocin uncontrollably. The instructions for use emphasize that its components are quite safe, which means that they cannot cause serious harm to he alth, but any bias in the form of a lack or excess of trace elements can lead to some deviations and failures. The mechanism of action of the drug is based on a combination of one of the vitamins most necessary for our body, it is ascorbic acid and zinc.
Vitamin C
So, let's take a closer look at the composition of the drug called "Ascocin". The instructions for use give us information that each tablet contains 500 g of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. It has a huge impact on many body processes, and its lack has a deplorable effect on he alth.
First of all, we know this element as an assistant in the formation of non-specific immunity. But that's not all. Also, ascorbic acid is responsible for the strength and elasticity of capillaries, is the best antioxidant, is involved in metabolism. Due to the constant presence of a sufficient amount of this element in the body, the functions of the liver and pancreas, adrenal glands and pituitary gland improve. The process of hematopoiesis is also dependent on ascorbic acid. This explains the fact that doctors include it in the treatment regimen for almost any disease.
Zinc
This is the second, but no less important component of the Ascocin preparation. Instructions for use says that it contains a daily dose of zinc for an adult. It would be useful to recall that it is unacceptable to use it for children without the consent of the attending pediatrician, who must calculate the optimal dosage.
So, zinc is a macronutrient that is necessary for the normal functioning of all organs and systems. However, it is not produced in the body, but comes only with food. It is part of most enzymes, which means it is involved in metabolism. Zinc is also a very important element for immunity. It helps the body adapt to adverse conditions, temperature changes, and resist viruses. Zinc is involved in the synthesis of proteins, hormones, in particular, it is very important for the synthesis of sex hormones, hormones of the pancreas, adrenal glands and pituitary gland.
That is, we can already say that Ascocin tablets are an excellent option for supporting immunity. Both of these substances are perfectly absorbed in the stomach and easily penetrate into all organs and systems. Excess ascorbic acid is excreted in the urine, and zinc in the feces.
When doctors recommend this drug
He has many indications, but first of all it is the prevention and treatment of hypo- and beriberi. Very well, the drug has proven itself in the period after the disease, in the complex treatment of infectious diseases. Very often it is prescribed to peoplewith various metabolic disorders and to strengthen blood vessels. Those who know firsthand about autoimmune diseases, that is, atopic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus and others, take it in courses, almost on an ongoing basis.

This is important in any field of medicine, including cosmetology. Zinc, together with ascorbic acid, has an antiviral effect and prevents the occurrence of immunodeficiency.

Due to the content of zinc, the tablets normalize fat metabolism, which is another area where Askotsin finds application.
