Prevents the development of atherosclerosis, degenerative-dystrophic changes in the heart muscle and skeletal muscles.

Improves nutrition and contractility of the myocardium, reduces the consumption of oxygen by the myocardium.

Inhibits free radical reactions, prevents the formation of peroxides that damage cellular and subcellular membranes.

It stimulates the synthesis of heme and heme-containing enzymes-hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes, catalase, and peroxidase.

Improves tissue respiration, stimulates the synthesis of proteins (collagen, enzyme, structural and contractile proteins of skeletal and smooth muscles, myocardium), protects against oxidation of vitamin A.

Inhibits the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and selenium (a component of the microsomal electron transport system).

Inhibits cholesterol synthesis.
