Release form

Univit - tablets in a shell of 10 pieces per plate.

Pharmacodynamics

The role of retinol (vit A) in the body is in the production of protein enzymes and building constituents of tissues. Vitamin takes part in the formation of epithelial cells, and also forms the structure of the bone system and the production of rhodopsin (visual pigment), creates favorable conditions for the multiplication of cells of the immune system (macrophages and lymphocytes), for the production of immunoglobulins and other protective factors.

Cholecalciferol (Vit D³) normalizes calcium and phosphorus metabolism, takes part in the structural formation of the bone apparatus, and serves as a prophylaxis for the appearance of rickets in childhood.

Nicotinamide - indispensable for normal processes of cellular gas exchange, takes part in the metabolic processes of carbohydrates and fats.

Thiamin (vit B1) is the most important coenzyme in the metabolism of carbohydrates, which, moreover, ensures the efficiency of the nervous system as a whole.

Calcium pantothenate is one of the components of coenzyme A. Its role is to maintain the full function of the Krebs cycle (aerobic metabolic cycle), the production of nucleotide coenzyme ATP, the production of hormonal substances, immunoglobulins and acetylcholine, absorption by the lower digestive system of potassium ions, sugars and tocopherol.

Riboflavin (vit B²) - accelerates the processes of intercellular exchange and improves visual function.

Pyridoxine (vit B6) - is an active coenzyme and promotes the exchange of proteins and the production of neurotransmitters.

Cyanocobalamin (vit B¹²) - refers to growth factors, is considered a necessary component for the process of blood formation and the formation of red blood cells, provides stability of the amino acid and nucleic composition of the blood, as well as the production of myelin (coating of nerve fibers).

The role of folic acid is mainly in the formation of blood cells. In combination with vitamins of group B (in particular, B¹²), it activates the formation of erythrocytes, helps the production of amino acids, polynucleotides, takes part in vitamin B4.

The value of ascorbic acid (vit C) in the reactions of oxidation and reduction in the body is indeed great. This vitamin is a necessary link in the formation and development of the osseous system, skin and mucous membranes, teeth, capillary network, as well as for the full function of the nervous and immune processes.

Salts of calcium and phosphorus - an integral component of mineral saturation of bone and teeth. The task of calcium ions is to stimulate enzyme substances that can regulate myocardial tone, promote the spread of nervous excitation and stabilize the permeability of cell membranes.

Special instructions

Strengthen the children's body in advance so that you do not get sick in the winter. Univit is produced by the Kiev Vitamin Plant, so it is affordable. Especially good for the prevention of diseases associated with malnutrition, in the period of intensive growth and recovery after illness, for the prevention of caries. Remember that a deficiency of vitamins and minerals disrupts metabolism. Univit - a modern vitamin complex, developed in accordance with the needs of the child's body in vitamins. Preventive courses are the best measure to prevent the development of chronic diseases.

Domestic scientists once conducted key research in this field. Such a researcher in 1880 was N.I. Lunin. He gave the laboratory mice whole milk, and they did not get sick, but if they were fed with milk components, they started to get sick.

Today, vitamins are sold not even in pharmacies, but simply in supermarkets. People drink them uncontrollably. At the same time, it has been proved that supra-doses of ascorbic acid soften the cold only when you are already ill, but do not play a role in its prevention.

A loud scandal in the scientific community was associated with vitamin A, more precisely, betacarotene, which turns into vitamin A, getting into the body. American scientists have studied how beta-carotene affects the risk of developing cancer in people who smoke. It was assumed that lung cancer in people taking supplements with betacarotene, develops less often. But in the experimental group for 8 years the incidence of cancer increased, but did not fall by 18%!

No better situation with vitamin E - its excess can cause arterial hypertension. Vitamins are not only a medicine, but also a poison. It all depends on the dosage.

How to be? After all, if peeled potatoes you put in water, it will lose all vitamin C in 2-3 hours. Vitamins are destroyed in the light.

We ask parents to take into account that your child should take vitamins all year round only in case of proven hypovitaminosis. If it is not, it is enough to drink multivitamins in courses 2-3 times a year. If the child is allergic to vitamins, most likely, the composition of the drug includes flavorings. Change the drug. Trust the products of large companies.

To select vitamins, you need to carefully study what each vitamin complex consists of. To relieve the kidneys, during the course you need to drink more water than usual. Children's vitamins are in the form of powder, troches and capsules, they are pleasant to the taste, so keep them out of the reach of children! Remember that the lack of vitamins leads to a disruption in the work of the whole body: ascorbic acid is necessary to prevent mental retardation and physical development of the child and strong immunity, vitamin A protects good vision and the immune system, B1 increases stress resistance, and stress in modern schoolchildren is sufficient , the program at school is very rich, vitamin B6 leads to a violation of appetite.

If the pediatrician believes that in addition to natural vitamins you need to take vitamin complexes, follow this recommendation. It will not be possible to stock up on vitamins beforehand. Only vitamins A and E accumulate. If there are not enough vitamins, the child often and continuously suffers. Let's give a simple example: cabbage when stored in a room, and not in a refrigerator after 2 days, loses 25% of vitamin C. This happens with all products, especially with heat treatment. That's why vitamin complexes are so needed.

Keep vitamins in a dark place, at such a height that the child could not reach them. If the child has reddened cheeks or has a diathesis, this drug does not suit him. Children under 4 years of age are best given vitamins in the form of syrup. Children older than 4 years are well suited to chewable tablets.

Important not only vitamins, but also minerals, trace elements, macronutrients. Calcium will help keep your baby's teeth, bones and nails strong. When a child first encounters a children's collective in a kindergarten, he needs vitamin C to stay healthy and have strong joints, muscles and healthy skin. Iron is the main component of hemoglobin, which participates in the transport of oxygen through the body. Children living in the Kiev region, especially iodine, so that the thyroid gland does not seize radioactive iodine from Chernobyl.
