Pharmacological properties
The pharmacological properties of Antioxicaps with zinc are determined by the action of the active components contained in the capsules.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) enhances the body's resistance to infections and its adaptive capabilities. Increases cholesterol metabolism, activates carbohydrate-protein metabolism, increases blood clotting, and participates in the regulation of redox processes in the body. Enhances tissue regeneration, synthesis of collagen, procollagen and steroid hormones.
Alpha-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) normalizes the function and structure of red blood cell membranes, stabilizes the strength of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids, thereby suppressing the oxidation of fats in the body and inhibiting the formation of toxic peroxides from them. Participates in the biosynthesis of proteins, heme and collagen, activates cell proliferation, improves the function of tissue respiration and other important processes of cellular metabolism.
Betacarotene is an antioxidant of the carotenoid group with an anti-inflammatory effect. It is able to bind active oxygen and thereby protect cellular structures from the destructive effects of free radicals, which are formed in large quantities under the adverse effects of environmental factors and in the event of the development of pathological processes in the body.
Zinc is involved in the process of hematopoiesis, endocrine regulation, biochemical reactions of the body, the formation of a number of hormones (including sex hormones), the formation of mental reactions, the processes of interaction of immunocompetent cells, the metabolism of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Part of enzymes that stabilize and protect cell membranes. It is a component of pancreatic juice. Promotes better absorption and action of B vitamins.
Antioxycaps with zinc - vitamins for immunity
Antioxicaps with zinc is recommended as a biologically active food supplement to eliminate vitamin (A, E and C) deficiency and zinc deficiency, as well as a general strengthening, tonic, and immunomodulatory agent. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-stress, radioprotective, anti-carcinogenic effects. It is used to prevent cardiovascular, oncological and infectious diseases, reduce the negative impact of unfavorable environmental conditions (ionizing radiation, etc.) and bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.) The activity of Antioxicaps with zinc is due to the complex effect of the substances contained in contains vitamins C, E, beta-carotene and the trace element zinc. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant and precursor of vitamin A in the body. As an antioxidant, it has anticarcinogenic activity, protects the body from aging processes and some chronic diseases. Vitamin A, obtained in the body from beta-carotene, helps protect the membranes of the cells of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchi and urinary tract, is important for the growth and development of the body, renewal of epithelial tissues. With the participation of vitamin A, rhodopsin is formed, a substance necessary for the normal functioning of the organ of vision. People who work at a computer or those who watch a lot of TV need a sufficient supply of vitamin A and beta-carotene, since the eyes are especially susceptible to free radicals generated when watching TV programs. Moreover, the introduction of beta-carotene into Antioxicaps with zinc is justified, since it is converted into vitamin A in the body only when it is needed, so there is no risk of side effects that are possible when taking vitamin A.
Vitamin C is involved in the regulation of redox processes in the body, activates carbohydrate-protein metabolism, increases cholesterol metabolism, increases blood clotting, enhances tissue regeneration, the synthesis of steroid hormones, collagen and procollagen. Increases the body's adaptive capabilities and strengthens its resistance to infections. In addition, vitamin C also helps restore vitamin E in the body. Vitamin E inhibits the oxidation of fats in the body and the formation of toxic peroxides from them, stabilizing the strength of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. By protecting cell membrane lipids from oxidation, it slows down the aging process of cells. It is no coincidence that it is called the “vitamin of youth”. In addition, vitamin E promotes the respiration of cells throughout the body and increases its endurance, since it protects red blood cells that carry oxygen to the heart and other organs from the action of free radicals, and at the same time prevents the oversaturation of body tissues with oxygen, the most famous oxidant contained in the environment. environment and leading to the formation of peroxides - sources of free radicals.
Zinc promotes better absorption and action of B vitamins, is an integral part of pancreatic juice, is involved in endocrine regulation, the formation of mental reactions, and the formation of a number of hormones, including sex hormones. It also participates in the biochemical reactions of the body, in the process of hematopoiesis. Zinc is part of enzymes that protect and stabilize cell membranes, participates in the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as in the processes of interaction of immunocompetent cells.
