Pharmacological action

A combined preparation containing a complex of vitamins and minerals that are important factors in metabolic processes.

• Vitamin A is involved in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides) and ensures the normal function of the skin, mucous membranes, and the visual organ.
• Vitamin D3 plays an important role in maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
• Vitamin B-1 normalizes the activity of the heart and promotes the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Vitamin B2 promotes the regeneration of tissues, including skin cells.
• Vitamin B6 contributes to the maintenance of the structure and function of bones, teeth, gums; affects erythropoiesis, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Vitamin B12 is involved in erythropoiesis, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that regulate the body’s metabolism.
• Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, regulation of connective tissue metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, blood clotting and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, and normalizes capillary permeability. Vitamin C increases the body’s resistance to infections and reduces inflammatory reactions.
• Vitamin B5 is a part of coenzyme A, which plays an important role in the processes of acetylation and oxidation. Activates metabolic processes in the tissues.
• Folic acid stimulates erythropoiesis.
• Calcium is involved in the formation of bone tissue, blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, and contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles.
• Phosphorus, along with calcium, is involved in the formation of bones and teeth, and also participates in the processes of energy metabolism.
