Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Vitamin complex with trace elements and plant carotenoids used for high eye strain

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Multivitamin agent + other drugs

Pharmacological Action

A combined preparation containing a complex of vitamins, trace elements, and plant carotenoids.

The pharmacological action of the preparation is due to the properties of its constituent components.

The compatibility of the components in 1 tablet is ensured by a special production technology for vitamin preparations.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) – regulates capillary permeability and plays an important role in maintaining their elasticity. It activates the activity of the endocrine glands, regulates blood clotting, tissue regeneration, the formation of steroid hormones, and collagen synthesis. It has a stimulating effect on the body as a whole, increases its adaptive capabilities, resistance to infections and adverse effects.

Thiamine (vitamin B₁) – participates in the process of impulse transmission along the nerve fiber. It participates in the coordination of the functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. It plays a key role in ensuring the normal course of energy metabolism.

Riboflavin (vitamin B₂) – participates in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, in the synthesis of hemoglobin and erythropoietin. It is necessary for maintaining normal visual function.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B₆) – as a coenzyme, it participates in the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. It ensures the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Folic acid (vitamin B_c) – in the form of a coenzyme, it is included in various metabolic processes necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids. It has an anti-anemic effect.

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) – participates in the synthesis of nucleotides, is an important factor in hematopoiesis and normal growth of epithelial cells; it is necessary for the metabolism of folic acid and the synthesis of myelin.

Rutoside (rutin, vitamin P) – participates in redox processes, has antioxidant properties, prevents oxidation and promotes the deposition of ascorbic acid in tissues. It strengthens the walls of capillaries by regulating their permeability. It reduces swelling and inflammation, strengthens the vascular wall.

Retinol (vitamin A) – as a component of the visual pigment rhodopsin, it is important in maintaining visual function, ensures the normal activity of the visual analyzer and the eye’s perception of light. It is effective for hemeralopia (“night blindness”), diseases of the retina and cornea. It participates in the processes of regeneration of the skin and mucous membranes.

α-Tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) – has antioxidant properties, maintains the stability of erythrocytes; has a positive effect on the functions of the gonads, nervous and muscle tissue. It participates in the processes of tissue respiration, affects the function of the endocrine glands, and slows down the aging processes of the body’s tissues.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin – carotenoids, yellow pigments necessary for the normal functioning of the retina. They protect the eye from damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. They are components of the antioxidant system of the retina, one of the most important factors in eye protection. Lutein and Zeaxanthin, located in the lens and retina, provide protection for photoreceptor cells from oxygen radicals formed under the adverse effects of radiation of various origins on the eye. Low content of lutein and zeaxanthin in the eye tissues leads to a weakening of the eye’s ability to resist adverse factors, prolonged visual stress, and computer radiation.

Selenium – a natural antioxidant, boosts immunity. In combination with vitamins A, E, and C, it has a pronounced antioxidant effect, improves the body’s adaptive abilities under conditions of exposure to adverse factors (stress, smoking, environmental pollution).

Copper – is a catalyst for many biochemical reactions. It participates in the synthesis of melanin. It plays a significant role in the formation of collagen and elastin, is a necessary component of iron metabolism, and plays an important role in the process of hematopoiesis.

Zinc – promotes the utilization of vitamin A by the retina. Prevents the development of hemeralopia (“night blindness”). Zinc is necessary for the synthesis of insulin, sex hormones, and is necessary for the normal activity of lymphoid tissue. Zinc deficiency is associated with the development of retrobulbar neuritis, blepharitis, decreased color perception, and cataract formation.

As a result, the preparation provides a balanced intake of components necessary to maintain the optimal functioning of the body, has an ophthalmo-protective effect due to the complex action of the vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids included in its composition, improves vision under increased visual loads, and has an antioxidant effect (protects eye tissue from the effects of free radicals). It can be recommended when wearing contact lenses, as it contains components necessary for tissue regeneration, including the cornea, which is always damaged to some extent by contact lenses.

Indications

Prevention of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Visual fatigue syndrome (eye fatigue and pain) when reading, working on a computer, wearing contact lenses; impaired twilight vision.
