Biovital is a multivitamin substance that also contains other supplements. Its medical effect develops due to the activity of a complex of useful components that are part of drugs - iron, plant extracts, and vitamins.
The drug helps to maintain blood circulation and heart function - cardiotropic extracts of plant nature are responsible for this. In addition, it increases impaired performance and helps to improve overall health, restoring the body's required values of Fe and vitamins.
Indications Biovital
It is used in the following situations:
- therapy and prevention of a- or hypovitaminosis, as well as lack of Fe (this also includes anemia of iron deficiency );
- complex treatment in the case of diseases affecting the cardiovascular system or NS (strong nervous tension or sleep disorders associated with stress);
- increased mental or physical stress;
- during recovery from severe or prolonged pathologies (also of an infectious nature), and in addition during the postoperative period or when blood is lost;
- as a tonic element, allowing to strengthen the function of blood circulation, heart and NS.
Release form
The release of drugs is implemented in the form of dragee - 15 pieces inside the cell plate. In a pack - 4 such records.
Pharmacodynamics
The complex, which includes cyanocobalamin and thiamine with pyridoxine, helps the healing processes of damaged nerve tissue.
Vitamins with iron have a powerful effect on the metabolic processes of the system, which forms energy and consumes oxygen.
Ascorbic acid helps improve the absorption of Fe. In combination with organically synthesized Fe, they are absorbed by the body through the digestive tract. In case of iron deficiency, about 20-25% of Fe is absorbed. The drug is also involved in the reduction-oxidation process and helps to normalize the immune function.
Hawthorn has a positive chronotropic, inotropic and dromotropic effects, as well as a negative bathmotropic effect. Helps to strengthen the myocardial-coronary circulation.
Motherwort exhibits mild cardiotropic activity, reduces heart rate, and also has a mild sedative effect.
Thiamine stabilizes heart work and helps normalize the activity of NA.
Riboflavin helps tissue healing (this includes epidermal cells).
Pyridoxine maintains a stable function and structure of the teeth with gums and bones. It affects the processes of erythropoiesis and stabilizes the work of NA.
Cyanocobalamin is a member of hematopoiesis and other tissue-forming processes.
Niacin is involved in the reduction-oxidation processes, and also helps transport phosphate with hydrogen.
B9-vitamin is involved in the process of erythropoiesis, and also accelerates wound healing.
Retinol affects the integrity of the epithelial cell structure, helps to normalize the development of the epidermis and mucous membranes, prevents excessive keratinization, and also increases resistance to infections.
Fe is a participant in erythropoiesis processes. This is an important component of hemoglobin, providing the movement of oxygen inside the tissues.
Dosing and administration
Dragee consumed entirely, without chewing, before eating or with it.
For prevention, adolescents and adults should eat 1 tablet 3 times a day. Young children - 1 tablet 1 times a day.
During therapy, adolescents and adults consume 2 dragees 3 times a day, and children - 1 dragee 2 times a day.
