Why do you need vitamin D?

Researchers believe that a person living in the city has a deficiency of vitamin D. This explains the decrease in immunity and the development of many diseases. Calciferol has long been called a regulator of mineral metabolism, which improves the absorption of calcium and its delivery to cells. In women after menopause, hypovitaminosis D becomes one of the factors that accelerates the decrease in bone mineral density and the development of osteoporosis.

But for many years doctors have attributed other beneficial properties to this substance:

• participates in immune reactions - receptors for calciferol are found on T and B lymphocytes, which are the main protective cells of the body;
• helps maintain pregnancy - by regulating the immune response, suppresses the production of antibodies from the mother's body to the embryo, which is 50% foreign DNA;
• has an anti-inflammatory effect - helps women with genital endometriosis reduce the activity of the inflammatory process;
• protects the skin from premature aging and cancer - accelerates the restoration of epithelial DNA damaged by ultraviolet radiation and does not allow altered tumor cells to multiply;
• reduces the risk of developing bowel cancer, especially in old age.

By improving the condition of the skin in adulthood, with the help of vitamin D, you can prevent baldness, the appearance of deep wrinkles and the development of basal cell carcinoma - a tumor of the surface layer of the epithelium.

Vitamin A (retinol) - participates in the formation of visual pigments, necessary for twilight and color vision; ensures the integrity of epithelial tissues, regulates bone growth.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine) as a coenzyme is involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is the most important catalyst for the processes of cellular respiration and visual perception.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) as a coenzyme takes part in protein metabolism and the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides and is an important factor in normal growth, hematopoiesis and development of epithelial cells; necessary for folic acid metabolism and myelin synthesis.

Nicotinamide is involved in the processes of tissue respiration, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) ensures collagen synthesis; participates in the formation and maintenance of the structure and function of cartilage, bones, teeth; affects the formation of hemoglobin and the maturation of red blood cells.

Rutin (rutoside) is involved in redox processes, has antioxidant properties, prevents oxidation and promotes the deposition of ascorbic acid in tissues.

Calcium pantothenate, as a component of coenzyme A, plays an important role in the processes of acetylation and oxidation; promotes the construction and regeneration of epithelium and endothelium.

Folic acid takes part in the synthesis of amino acids, nucleotides, nucleic acids; necessary for normal erythropoiesis.

Lipoic acid is involved in the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, has a lipotropic effect, affects cholesterol metabolism, and improves liver function.

Vitamin E (α-Tocopherol acetate) has antioxidant properties, maintains the stability of red blood cells, and prevents hemolysis; has a positive effect on the functions of the gonads, nervous and muscle tissue.

Iron is involved in erythropoiesis and, as part of hemoglobin, ensures the transport of oxygen to tissues.

Copper prevents the development of iron deficiency anemia and oxygen starvation of organs and tissues, and helps prevent osteoporosis. Increases the strength and elasticity of blood vessels, affecting connective tissue proteins.

Calcium is necessary for the formation of bone matter, blood clotting, the process of transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of skeletal and smooth muscles, and normal myocardial activity.

Cobalt regulates metabolic processes and increases the body's defenses.

Manganese plays an important role in metabolism, is part of many enzymes, and strengthens bone and cartilage tissue.

Zinc has immunomodulatory properties, promotes the absorption of vitamin A, regeneration and hair growth.

Complivit: dissolve or swallow

If you dissolve a tablet, it loses its protective coating. If swallowed in this state, the effectiveness of the product is reduced to zero. With further resorption, a minimal amount of the active pharmacological substance is absorbed from the oral cavity.
