Pharmacological Action

A combined preparation containing a complex of components that are important factors in metabolic processes.

Retinol (vitamin A) is involved in the processes of synthesis, growth, and maintenance of the vital activity of the skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin A is important for vision as a component of the visual pigment rhodopsin and for skeletal development processes. It is necessary for maintaining immunity and is involved in the body’s anti-tumor defense.

Thiamine (vitamin B₁) plays a key role in energy production processes, as a coenzyme it is involved in carbohydrate metabolism, and is a necessary component of the nerve impulse transmission process along the nerve fiber.

Riboflavin (vitamin B₂) in the form of a coenzyme is part of many enzymes and functions as a catalyst for cellular respiration processes. It is involved in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, in the synthesis of hemoglobin and erythropoietin. It is necessary for maintaining normal visual function, the integrity of erythrocytes, and normal intestinal microflora.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) as a coenzyme participates in the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. It ensures the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system and normalizes lipid metabolism. It has a mild diuretic effect. It helps reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Insufficient intake of pyridoxine into the body leads to an increased risk of atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) activates the activity of the endocrine glands, regulates all types of metabolism, blood clotting, tissue regeneration, the formation of steroid hormones, collagen synthesis, and capillary permeability. It has a stimulating effect on the body as a whole, increases its adaptive capabilities, resistance to infections and adverse effects, and helps prevent aging processes.

Nicotinamide (vitamin PP) is involved in the processes of tissue respiration, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It prevents the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. It lowers cholesterol levels in the blood.
