Geroprotectors

Geroprotectors are very important for most middle-aged, and especially older people, because they are in the state of polyhypovitaminosis due to eating habits and age-related changes in the digestive system. This breaks the metabolism in the human body and stimulates the aging process. In addition, when carrying out drug therapy, sufficient vitamin saturation of the body allows you to often reduce the dose of the drug (while maintaining its effectiveness), and also reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

Due to the fact that the state of hypovitaminosis develops more often in late autumn, winter and spring, people of middle, elderly and senile age are recommended in this period courses (3-4 weeks) of multivitamin preparations: undevita, decamecite or aerovita. It is expedient to alternate them with the use of geroprotectors, complexes of vitamins and microelements - quadevite, compivit, etc.

Nutrients

These geroprotectors activate the metabolism that decreases with aging. The most applicable in geriatric practice is apilac (a preparation from royal jelly), aloe extract, FIBS (a remedy for removing limanic mud), pelloid-containing or placental-containing medicines. Treatment is carried out by courses 2-3 times a year for 15-30 procedures.

Adaptogens

These are geroprotectors of plant origin, which increase the adaptive capabilities of the organism, which sharply decrease with aging. Under the influence of the funds of this group, mental and physical working capacity is increased, sleep and general well-being are improved, protein and fat metabolism, immunological reactivity of the organism are normalized. Adaptogenic properties are the root of ginseng, eleutherococcus, Chinese magnolia vine, rhodiola rosea, aralia, zamaniha.

Enterosorbents

Geroprotectors, adsorbing (binding) in the lumen of the intestine endogenous and exogenous toxins and promoting their accelerated excretion from the body. This leads to a decrease in the level of self-poisoning of the body and the rate of aging. Drugs with this effect include: lactulose, carbolong, polyphelane. Applied in the form of short courses in patients with a tendency to constipation and flatulence. Regularly used natural enterosorbents - vegetables and fruits, rich in fiber and pectin, as well as enriching the diet with bran.

Lipotropona funds

Geroprotectors, which can normalize dyslipidemia and, thus, slow down the development of atherosclerosis (the universal process accompanying aging). The choice of drugs of this effect is very wide: clofibrate, lipostabil, eikonol, nicotinic acid, omega-3, plavix, etc. The choice of the drug is determined by the nature of dyslipidemia.

Citamins

They are balanced mixtures of biologically active substances: peptides, nucleoproteins, vitamins and minerals. They have a tissue-specific and organotropic effect - they have a bioregulatory effect in the tissues from which they are obtained. Geroprotectors affect the level of the cell population, mitotic balance in organs and tissues, activate in the target tissues the differentiation of cellular populations with the optimal level of metabolism and physiological activity. The name of the drugs reflect the name of the organ of application: hepatamine, tyramine, vasalamine, cerebramine, etc.

Antioxidants

Geroprotectors, reducing the level of free radicals in tissues. Free radicals react with molecules of fatty acids that are components of membrane phospholipids, thus, new oxidation chains appear, leading ultimately to destabilization of membranes and cell destruction. Antioxidant properties are vitamins C, E and A. It is advisable course (2-4 times a year) treatment with drugs containing one or a set of these vitamins, as well as enriching them with a diet.

The range of preparations of geroprotectors, which prevent premature aging, is constantly changing due to scientific research in this field. There are new drugs with cellular and intracellular activity. The choice of tactics for the use of various geroprotectors should be determined by the doctor depending on the functional shifts in the state of organs and systems found in the patient.
