You can have different attitudes towards vitamins, mineral supplements and all kinds of multivitamin complexes if you are an adult. Doctors often recommend taking a course of vitamins, but not everyone follows this advice. However, if we are talking about children, then there is no doubt: such supplements will bring certain benefits to children.

There are many multivitamins for children. Today we’ll talk about one of these drugs. So, Kinder Biovital gel: what is it, what are its advantages, what do patients say about it?

Characteristics of lozenges

“Biovital Vedmezhuyki” is a complex of vitamins for children from 3 to 13 years old. This food supplement is intended for:

— For the growth, development and excellent health of children.

— To provide the child’s body with vitamins that support immunity.

The product is important to use:

— In the process of active growth.

— During classes at school, in physical education, in various sections.

— During epidemics of infectious diseases.

- Loss of appetite.

— In the process of getting used to preschool.

- In winter.

— For children who live in places with poor ecology.

— To compensate for the lack of vitamins due to poor nutrition.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The vitamins included in both complexes are important components of the harmonious development of the child’s body. They are necessary for the synthesis of various hormones , enzymes , and other substances.

Vitamin A has an immunomodulatory effect, promotes the development of epithelium, accelerates the healing processes of wounds and cuts on the skin, improves vision, and takes part in the synthesis of visual pigment.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant , protects the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, and is involved in erythropoiesis and the process of muscle tissue formation. It also plays a big role in the functioning of the nervous system, increases performance and stress resistance.

B vitamins (B12, B6, riboflavin , etc.) strengthen the nervous system and immunity. B6 has a positive effect on heart function and muscle growth, and is involved in metabolic processes and carbohydrate-fat metabolism.

Particular attention should be paid to folic acid . The substance is involved in the synthesis of thymidylate , purines , methionine and other methylation reactions. Accelerates metabolism, promotes cell growth and replication reactions.

Vitamin C supports the immune system and accelerates the absorption of other vitamins and vitamin-like substances. Ascorbic acid also participates in collagen synthesis, supports redox reactions, and has an antioxidant effect.

To prevent rickets , muscle weakness , and diseases of the nervous system, you should consume a sufficient amount of x olecalciferol ( vitamin D3 ). The substance stimulates the rapid absorption of calcium by the body. Bones and teeth gain strength, the muscular system and nervous system become more resilient.

The vitamin complex is well absorbed and undergoes metabolic reactions.

The effect of lecithin on the neurological status of children

Lecithin is a wise addition to any Balch PA diet

Lecithin (from the Greek lekithos - egg yolk), isolated in France by Gobley M. back in 1850 and initially called “essential lipids”, is a complex of phospholipids (choline, phosphatides, inositol) and serves as one of the main sources of nutrition for the nervous system. systems. The peripheral nervous system is 17% lecithin, and the brain is 30%. Lecithin components are essential for the human body, and their deficiency is accompanied by dysfunction of the nervous, cardiovascular and other systems. This is due not only to the fact that lecithin is present in all tissue cells, but also to its role in biological membranes.

Lecithin accelerates oxidative processes, improves brain and cardiovascular system function. It promotes better absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), increases the body’s resistance to toxic substances, etc. Virtually all cells of the body need lecithin, which is part of the B complex of vitamins [1–3].

Neurologists are well aware that lecithin is necessary for the production of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter), which ensures optimal functioning of the nervous system, and also takes part in the conduction of nerve impulses (neurotransmission). In addition, lecithin is one of the main components in the formation of myelin. Lecithin is also associated with the neuroendocrine system; lecithin and choline are essential for the production of a number of hormones and the normal metabolism of fats and cholesterol.

The biological properties of lecithin of plant origin are more effective than those of lecithin of animal origin. According to the definition of the computer encyclopedia "Wikipedia", soy lecithin is a food additive that has the properties of a surfactant - an emulsifier. Soy lecithin contains oil, phospholipids, vitamins A (retinol), E (tocopherol), etc.

The lack of an adequate supply of the phospholipid complex is accompanied by disturbances in the utilization of all fat-soluble vitamins, which is fraught with the risk of developing diseases such as rickets (vitamin D deficiency), osteoporosis, immunodeficiency states (secondary), disorders of the blood coagulation system and the functions of the gonads; Possible delay in physical development [3].

Manifestations of lecithin deficiency in children are quite diverse and variable. In children of the first years of life, due to lecithin deficiency, intracranial hypertension may occur, delayed psychomotor and speech development, behavioral disorders (psycho-emotional imbalance), decreased ability to concentrate, and memory impairment.

Classic manifestations of lecithin deficiency in children include disorders of neuropsychic development (decreased functionality of the central nervous system, increased irritability, tearfulness, etc.), disorders of cognitive functions (decrease in memory parameters, attention, thinking, academic performance), decreased motor activity (fatigue and increased fatigue), etc.

Previously, researchers from the USA have demonstrated that lecithin has the ability to improve the so-called “brain chemical activity”, having a beneficial effect on higher cortical (cognitive) functions such as memory, speech and motor skills. Subsequently, this allowed Barbeau A. (1978) to highlight the problem of using lecithin in neurology (Friedreich’s ataxia, Huntington’s chorea, etc.) [4, 5].

Since the 1980s. A number of works appeared in medical periodicals on the use of lecithin for various cognitive impairments, memory disorders, as well as in the treatment of dementia of the Alzheimer's type (Garcia CA et al., 1982; Brinkman SD et al., 1982; Kazdova E., 1984; Panijel M., 1986; Ladd SL et al., 1993; Benton D. and Donohoe RT, 2004) [6–11]. Chinese researchers Shi F. et al. (2001) reported the use of soy lecithin in the treatment of cerebral infarction [12]. Higgins JP and Flicker L. (2009) presented the latest systematic review on the use of lecithin in dementia and cognitive impairment [13]. We have also previously reported the possibility of using lecithin for other types of psychoneurological pathology in children and adolescents, including early childhood autism (ECA), psychomotor development delay (PDMR), Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, asthenoneurotic reactions, depressive neurosis, Meniere's disease, epilepsy and etc. [3, 14, 15]. It is assumed that lecithin, which is part of the myelin sheaths covering nerve fibers, can in some cases ensure the onset of remission in multiple sclerosis (MS), which often occurs in childhood (up to 18 years) [16].

It is well known that vitamins are nutrients, the use of which (vitamin prophylaxis and vitamin therapy) is an integral part of neurodietology. The combination of vitamin or vitamin-mineral complexes with biologically active substances (BAS), one of which is traditionally considered lecithin, reflects a progressive way to optimize nervous functions, somatic health and vitamin supply of children. Lecithin is necessary both for neurons and cell membranes, and for the effective utilization of vitamins entering the body.

The role of vitamin status correction in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was reported by O. A. Gromova et al. (2003) [17]. Employees of the psychoneurological department of the Scientific Center for Children of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences in 2003–2004. in the treatment of a group of children with ADHD (32 patients aged 6–16 years), the Kinder Biovital vitamin complex (gel) with lecithin was used [3]. We emphasize that at that time drugs intended for the treatment of ADHD were not registered in the Russian Federation, and atomoxetine became available only in 2006. The vitamin complex described contains 10 g of lecithin, that is, 2 teaspoons (manufacturer’s recommendations for school children age and adults) is 200 mg. It is believed that this combined preparation, which contains the most important fat-soluble (A, D, E) and water-soluble (B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, C, nicotinamide) vitamins and soy lecithin, not only corrects vitamin status, but also has antioxidant, metabolic and immunomodulatory effects.

Observed children with ADHD were examined according to a single protocol, which included:

• physical and neurological examination;
• electroencephalographic study (EEG);
• examination on test computer systems (TCS) “Psychomat” (Russia);
• Luscher color test;
• defectological examination of children (selectively);
• routine clinical blood and urine tests.

Patients were diagnosed with ADHD based on the current International Classification of Diseases, X Revision (ICD-10) criteria, which differ slightly from the DSM-IV criteria used in the United States [18, 19].

All medications taken by patients during the study period, compliance, etc. were taken into account. Treatment effectiveness was assessed using three headings: “no effect,” “partial effect,” and “significant improvement.” Possible adverse reactions to the drug used (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, intestinal disorders, allergic manifestations), pathological laboratory changes without clinical symptoms, as well as “other symptoms” were recorded. Children's tolerance to the vitamin complex with lecithin was assessed (“unsatisfactory”, “satisfactory”, “good”).

The duration of use of Kinder Biovital gel in our observations ranged from 21 to 28 days. If necessary, the drug was provided to children to complete the planned course of treatment at home.

The assessment of the effectiveness of the multivitamin preparations used was based on data from a neurological and somatic examination, and was also clarified using the results of a TCS examination and other research methods. In 10% of observations, a significant improvement was noted, and in 90% of children - a partial effect. The presence of only a partial effect in a larger number of patients is explained by the permanent and neurochemical nature of disorders in ADHD (disorders of catecholamine metabolism are the biochemical substrate in the pathogenesis of the disease) [18].

Using TCS, we tested a number of parameters of cognitive functions: tapping with the right hand (average interval - msec, frequency of reactions - number per 1 sec); memory for numbers (average response time - msec, standard deviation of the average response time - msec, number of numbers reproduced, number of correct answers); attention by number arrangement (total search time - ms, average search time - ms, average response time - ms, total number of answers - in pieces, number of errors - in pieces); reaction to a moving object (efficiency of psychomotor activity and accuracy of hand-eye coordination). In addition to the data from examining children with ADHD using TCS, we assessed the results of the modified Luscher test (anxiety level, autonomic coefficient, deviation from the autogenic norm, etc.). A comparison of the treatment results of the observed patients was carried out with a group of children with a similar pathology who did not receive a vitamin-mineral complex with lecithin (15 patients aged 6–15 years).

The main parameters of cognitive functions that initially turned out to be deficient among the children we observed were attention, memory and motor skills. During the first testing, carried out on the third day after admission to the clinic, the perception and processing of visual stimuli in children was difficult.

Three weeks after starting to take the vitamin complex with lecithin (in an age-appropriate dosage), re-testing for TCS was carried out. At the same time, the following positive dynamics of cognitive functions were revealed: the interval (time) of motor reactions decreased by an average of 5–10%; The tempo and frequency of blows per second increased within approximately the same limits (during the tapping test). Qualitative indicators of attention also showed positive dynamics: total search time was reduced by 25–30%, average search time by 30–35%, and average response time by 15–20%. In practice, this means that the patients we observe have become better at remembering and reproducing visual information.

Data from the Luscher test, conducted simultaneously with the TCS testing described above, indicated an improvement in physical activity, vegetative support, and general well-being in children with ADHD after a course of therapy with a vitamin complex with lecithin.

The tolerability of Kinder Biovital gel with lecithin was assessed by medical staff, the patients themselves and their parents. It was satisfactory in the vast majority of observed children (adverse reactions were noted in 4% of patients and were expressed in the appearance of skin rashes, regarded as manifestations of atopic dermatitis).

The results obtained allow us to conclude that Kinder Biovital gel with lecithin should be used as part of complex treatment for ADHD to correct cognitive impairments accompanying this type of pathology. It is assumed that the achieved effect was largely due to the presence of lecithin (soy) in the Kinder Biovital gel.

The above example does not exhaust the experience of using this vitamin complex with lecithin in domestic pediatric neurology. Platonova T. N. and Yarygina S. V. (2005) presented the positive experience of its use in the therapy of 88 children of early preschool and school age with functional disorders of the nervous system (tics, neurotic reactions, logoneurosis, delayed psychomotor and/or speech development, hyperdynamic syndrome, etc.), and Korovina N.A. et al. (2006) - in the treatment of 40 patients (age 4–7 years) with emotional disorders in the form of fears [20, 21]. The positive effect of the Kinder Biovital gel with lecithin, noted in relation to parameters of psychomotor development and the emotional-behavioral sphere, was verified by researchers who used a whole battery of special tests (Denver test, verbal tests with series of speech; Ozeretskovsky test, right-left orientation, Kern test –Jerasica, Luscher test, etc.) [20]. This extensive set of psychological and neurological tests objectively confirms the effectiveness of the use of Kinder Biovital gel with lecithin for various types of psychoneurological pathology in children, which is consistent with the results of researchers from the Scientific Center for Children of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, who used a computerized method for testing cognitive functions in patients with ADHD. We also presented data on the role of lecithin in the diet of children with ADHD [22].

Apparently, the inclusion of lecithin gel in Kinder Biovital makes it possible to potentiate the utilization and clinical effect of their vitamin ingredients, and also to count on the implementation of a number of neuromodulatory properties inherent in lecithin as such.

Vitamins are the most important tool in neuronutrition [23–25]. The relationship between the central nervous system, lecithin and vitamin status is completely obvious and beyond doubt [25]. Meck WH et al. (2008) from the USA believe that choline (as part of lecithin), which a child receives during the first year of life, is of decisive importance for the development of memory, determining its capacity and resistance to subsequent disorders [26]. Apparently, it is no coincidence that breast milk contains 100 times more lecithin than the mother’s circulatory system.

Previously, Cott A. (1977) successfully used lecithin to enhance memory, attention and its consolidation in children unable to learn (autism, schizophrenia, etc.), achieving a 50% improvement [27].

Lecithin in the presence of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is transformed into acetylcholine. It is this neurotransmitter that is considered especially important for the full formation of thinking and memory processes, as well as for the activation of intellectual activity and performance.

For pediatric neurologists, it is of great importance that lecithin has a synergistic effect in relation to nootropic drugs widely used in Russia and other countries (it enhances their effect). It should also be taken into account that some drugs used in child neurology and pediatrics (phenobarbital, etc.) interfere with the absorption and assimilation of lecithin in the intestine (the need for subsidies).

In addition to the positive effect on neurological functions in diseases of the psychoneurological sphere, a number of positive effects are known that this representative of lipids has on other organs and systems of the human body (improving the functioning of the digestive tract, stimulating bile secretion, reducing cholesterol levels in the blood, detoxifying the liver/hepatoprotective effect, reducing insulin needs for diabetes, etc.). These points should not be ignored from the standpoint of somatoneurology.

Taking Kinder Biovital gel with lecithin is also indicated for healthy children and adults with increased fatigue, physical and intellectual stress, and exposure to stress. There are officially no contraindications for the use of lecithin. Balch PA (2006) emphasizes that lecithin is a wise addition to any diet [28].

Indications for use

Biovital gel for children is prescribed:

• for hypovitaminosis and vitamin deficiency ;
• during a diet or an unbalanced diet;
• for children who are stunted;
• for stomatitis , after suffering from infectious or other diseases;
• during treatment with antibiotics , chemotherapy .

Chewable lozenges are prescribed:

• during active growth, with increased physical activity. or mental stress;
• in the cold season, during the adaptation period (for example, in kindergarten);
• with insufficient nutrition;
• children living in environmentally unfavorable areas.

Indications

There are many indications for use of the Kinder Biovital gel.

This is rickets (appears as a result of metabolic disorders, especially phosphorus-calcium, and is expressed in disruption of the functioning of various organs, in problems with bone formation), and it is not at all necessary that the baby has already been diagnosed with rickets - vitamins are often prescribed to prevent this disease.

These are vitamin deficiencies and hypovitaminosis, and the drug is taken both for the treatment of already developed diseases and for the purpose of preventing them.

The multivitamin complex in question is also prescribed to treat mineral deficiencies and replenish improper and/or unbalanced nutrition. It happens that a child is simply exhausted or for some reason is forced to go on a diet. In such cases, there is no way to do without special vitamin supplements.

All children develop differently: some are ahead of their peers in growth, while others are behind, and this is completely normal. However, when the difference in height between your child and his peers is already two heads and “does not think” of shrinking, in addition, your baby seems to be stuck at the same size, this is a reason to consult a doctor. If the doctor finds a truly significant pathological growth retardation in a child, this will also become an indication for the use of Kinder Biovital gel.

The above gel is often prescribed for stomatitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane in the mouth), for complex treatment while taking antibiotics, while undergoing chemotherapy, for complex or long-term (including infectious) pathology during the recovery period.

Instructions for Biovital Kinder (Method and dosage)

The gel for children is taken orally or topically, regardless of food intake. The duration of the course is determined after consultation with a doctor.

Instructions for Biovital Kinder gel

Teenagers and schoolchildren are prescribed a teaspoon, 2 times a day. For infants and primary schoolchildren – half a spoon 2-3 times a day.

For stomatitis and other lesions of the oral mucosa, the gel is applied to the affected area and left for a while until completely absorbed.

Instructions for Vedmezhuyki

For children aged 3-6 years, the daily dosage is 1-2 bears. For children 7-13 years old – up to three bears per day. You should not try to replace a good diet with a complex.

Lozenges are taken for 30 to 45 days. Courses can be repeated up to several times a year.

Additional Information

Good to know:

1. Multivitamins for children in gel form have many benefits, but it is very important to follow the correct dosage indicated in the instructions for use of the drug.
2. In the first three days after starting to take vitamins, you need to carefully monitor the baby’s well-being and appearance. If the child’s cheeks suddenly turn red or a rash appears on the skin, you should immediately stop taking the selected complex. You should also stop taking vitamins if you have vomiting and/or diarrhea.
3. Multivitamins, like any other medicines, should be stored in a dark, dry place, out of reach of a child, at a temperature no higher than 25 degrees. Shelf life: two years.
4. If the doctor has prescribed vitamins for your child, you need to give them to him, but this is not enough. You also need to monitor your baby’s nutritious diet. His diet must be balanced, and only then will a really good result appear.

5. Taking this multivitamin complex in parallel with other multivitamin supplements is strictly prohibited.

Reviews

Reviews of Kinder Biovital gel

Reviews of Biovital gel for children are good. Many people like the release form, packaging, fruity taste and smell. The complex is quite effective, children get sick less and become more active. However, there are also patients who, on the contrary, did not like the packaging, taste, or cost of the product.

Reviews for Vedmezhuyki

For some, lozenges in the form of gelatin bears are more suitable than Biovital gel. It is easier to force the child to take them, allergies or other side effects are less likely to occur. Many people are confused by the high cost of lozenges.

Reviews of Kinder Biovital gel for children

Reviews about Kinder Biovital gel for children are positive. Parents who gave the vitamin complex to their children noted its balance, the presence of lecithin in the composition, which is especially necessary for children with delayed speech development, and the pleasant taste of the gel. The disadvantages include inconvenient packaging (when the gel runs out, it is extremely inconvenient to squeeze it out of the aluminum tube).

Of the side effects, only allergic reactions are mentioned due to individual intolerance to certain components of the drug.

Pediatricians' opinions

Doctors have different views on this supplement. Some doctors advise purchasing Kinder Biovital lozenges or gel, while others, on the contrary, do not offer this drug to parents. Those experts who consider this complex unnecessary argue their point of view as follows: it is better to buy natural vitamins in the form of fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs than chemicals. But supporters of this complex think differently: it is better to take such a supplement than nothing at all. After all, for many parents it is easier and, as it turns out, cheaper to buy Biovital lozenges. And some children don’t like vegetables, fruits, and berries. It is better for them to eat candy or swallow a tasty gel.

Positive reviews from people about lozenges

These children's vitamins in the form of bright teddy bears appealed to many children, as well as their parents. Boys and girls chew these lozenges with pleasure, and then begin to beg their mothers for more.

Parents also speak well of this food supplement. Many mothers see the following positive aspects in this vitamin complex:

1. Appearance. The lozenges are bright, beautiful, and have an attractive teddy bear shape. Moms don't have to force their kids to chew them. Boys and girls eat them themselves with pleasure.
2. Wonderful effect. Those parents who systematically give these lozenges to their children note that their children stop getting sick often and their appetite increases. Schoolchildren begin to actively, and most importantly, enjoy studying at school. Little children eagerly go to kindergarten.
3. Convenient and safe jar. Many mothers note that the container in which the lozenges are located is thought out to the smallest detail by the manufacturers. The jar is plastic, which means it can be given to a child, because he will not break it. In addition, the lid on the container is childproof. Therefore, even if the mother leaves the drug in a visible place, she does not have to worry that her son or daughter will open and take out the lozenges.
4. Affordable price. Considering the amount of vitamins contained in this complex, mothers are sure that this is a very reasonable cost. Therefore, they do not feel sorry for buying such a food additive.

Negative ratings

Unfortunately, Kinder Biovital vitamins also receive disapproving reviews. Thus, some parents note that after their children ate a couple of bear cubs, they developed a rash all over their bodies. This can really happen if the child is prone to allergies. In this case, it is prohibited to use these vitamins. Other parents don't like the fact that it contains dyes. Also, some mothers doubt that there is any effect from these lozenges. That, they say, the children were sick every month and continue to be sick in the same spirit.

Considering that these children's vitamins have both positive and negative reviews, we will not recommend or prohibit taking this complex. Consultation with a pediatrician about the use of these lozenges is the right decision on the way to ensuring the health of your baby.
