Vitamin and mineral complexes: description and reviews

Vitamin B

Vitamin B is involved in the normalization of protein and carbohydrate metabolism. The role of this vitamin is great in cases of nervous overexcitation and metabolic disorders, in particular carbohydrate metabolism. Helps the liver neutralize toxic substances, improves intestinal function, has a calming effect on the central nervous system, promotes the synthesis of vitamins in the intestines, and activates the motility of the digestive system. Used in the treatment of fatty liver. Is an active participant in hematopoiesis.

Features of combining elements

Some manufacturers fill drugs with elements without thinking about the intricacies of combining vitamins. This approach is incorrect; the features of the combination must be taken into account. You should not combine components such as:

• manganese and nickel;
• zinc and manganese;
• iron and copper;
• copper and zinc;
• zinc and iron;
• vitamin PP and B1.

In addition, it is important to consider the following points:

• Cobalt, ascorbic acid and copper improve the absorption of iron, and the presence of manganese and calcium, on the contrary, worsens this process.
• Sodium in combination with fluorine and magnesium has a positive effect on muscle function and the central nervous system.
• B6 and B2, perfectly combined with each other, enhance each other’s effect.
• Zinc deficiency can cause a failure in the absorption of tocopherol.
• Too much zinc negatively affects the absorption of copper and iron.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is especially necessary in growing children, as it forms the formation of bone and dental tissue. Transports calcium from the blood to bone tissue. Does not allow cholesterol to attach to the walls of blood vessels. It controls the processes of excitation, inhibition and transmission of nerve signals, controls human emotions, as well as the regulation of body temperature and sexual activity. Indicated for those suffering from epilepsy and those working in hazardous industries. Strengthens immunity against infectious viruses. Promotes blood clotting and does not form blood clots in blood vessels.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C tones and strengthens capillaries, prevents blood from leaving the vascular bed, even delaying myocardial infarctions, and supports the body's immunity. It has an antibacterial effect and restores damaged tissue. It has a preventive and therapeutic effect in diseases of the liver, kidneys, and Addison's disease.

When a malfunction occurs in the body due to a lack of vitamin-mineral substances, you should take vitamin-mineral complexes since the body itself is not able to produce them, but only receive them from the outside. And no matter how healthy our food is, there is an insufficient amount of useful elements.

Complex drugs

Vitamins are rarely used individually. In order for their action to be most effective, various balanced complexes are created. Their composition varies depending on the therapeutic effect and functional purpose. There are vitamin complexes for men, women, children, sports vitamins for men, etc. To understand all their diversity, you should know the principle of separation. Before purchasing, consider certain nuances:

1. Contents of elements. Complex vitamins are divided into three groups: supplements containing 40−50% of the required daily intake of nutrients; complexes that contain the full daily requirement of vitamins; additives in which the amount of elements is 5-10 times higher than normal.
2. Dosage features . When purchasing vitamin preparations, you should take into account the specific dosage. Complexes containing the full daily dose are taken for one to two months. If the dosage is higher, 1-2 weeks will be enough. There are also some other factors to consider. For example, pregnant women, nursing mothers, children and the elderly require more nutrients.
3. Release form. Today, multivitamins are produced in different forms: lozenges, chewing candies, lollipops, syrup, gummies, effervescent tablets, powder, drinks. To meet the needs of different customers, a good vitamin complex is available in two or three versions. Everyone decides for themselves which one to give preference to.
4. Information on the label. On it, the manufacturer provides a list of minerals and vitamins included in the composition.

https://youtu.be/_nLez5HpVP0

After studying the label, you should consider the following points:

• Preference should be given to those complexes that contain all the elements necessary for the body. It is necessary to study the content of components in one capsule or tablet. Often this parameter is prescribed as a percentage of the daily value.
• If you do not have a clear idea of ​​what complex preparations are needed, it is better to take supplements that contain 90-100% of the norm. Such complexes are taken in courses of up to 40 days.

Fe is absorbed in sufficient quantities by men from food. Therefore, it is better to choose multivitamins with micronutrients with the lowest iron content.
