Vitamins "Complivit". Analogs of the drug and reviews about them
Everybody knows about the benefits of vitamins. Doctors prescribe them for any diseases as an element of complex therapy and recommended as a prophylaxis for strengthening immunity. Among the inexpensive and effective vitamin-mineral complexes, "Complivit" is popular. An analogue of this product should have a similar pharmaceutical effect and a similar composition. Now on the Russian pharmaceutical market there are several dozens of drugs, including a rich palette of vitamins and trace elements. Among the import can be identified "Vitrum", "Multivital", "Nutritham BASIC", "INCAP". Their effectiveness is quite high, but the prices for them are rather big. For example, the package "Vitrum", containing only 30 tablets, is cheaper than 470 rubles, not found. A perfect alternative for many Russians was the domestic drug "Complivit." Analogues Russian, in no way inferior to foreign ones, are Aevit, Aquadeprim, Ascofol, Aerovit, all of which are much cheaper than foreign ones.
We offer an overview of the most popular vitamin complexes and a comparative description of their advantages and disadvantages.
«Complivit»
This is the general name of the line of Russian drugs, including minerals and vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the human body. The manufacturer, which is Ufa pharmacological firm "UfaVITA", called the whole series simply and clearly - "Complivit".
Any synthetic vitamins are really digested worse than natural ones, and some people are capable of causing side reactions, which the instruction always warns. In addition to multivitamin, there are more specific preparations of the "Complivit" series. An analogue in this case should be selected according to the chemical composition and pharmacological properties. So, "Compllyit mama" for pregnant women can be replaced with "Ascofol", and "Complivit ophthalmo" with TM "Evalar". By creating vitamin complexes, Russian pharmacists have tried so to compose their composition and quantity so that they provide the best and at the same time a quick positive effect. Consider what is useful in the "Complicates" and in some of its analogues.
A line of vitamins B
In the classic multivitamin preparation "Complivit" 11 vitamins. Among them, more than half are the most important vitamins for group B:
1. Thiamine hydrochloride (or B1). It is very soluble in water, it is needed for the activation of metabolic processes.
2. Ribofrasin mononucleotide (or B2). It is obtained by chemical synthesis of ribose (monosaccharide) and dimethylaniline (tritical amine). The role in the body is to ensure the reproduction of blood cells, in particular erythrocytes, maintaining the viability of all systems.
3. Folic acid (or B9). Soluble in water, contained in honey, legumes, liver, citrus. Vitamin B9 is needed for the synthesis of blood cells, important for the proper development of the fetus, is necessary for all pregnant women. What can be replaced with future mothers "Complivit"? An analogue containing folic acid is "Elevit Pronatal", especially useful in pregnancy.
4. Pyridoxine hydrochloride (or B6). This substance and its equivalent derivatives (pyridoxal and pyridoxamine) are found in walnuts, carrots, spinach, fish, cereals, legumes. B6 has a number of improved properties in comparison with pure pyridoxine, in particular, it is easier to digest in the gastrointestinal tract, more actively affects the nervous system and affects the synthesis of proteins.
5. Cyanocobalamin (analog B12). Many products contain pure B12, for example, in blue-green algae. For better digestibility, the body is purified with cyanide, resulting in cyanocobalamin. It is needed for the nervous system, for the improvement of hematopoiesis and metabolic processes, for the formation of fatty acids.
6. Calcium pantothenate (or B5). This is pantothenic acid, which is extremely important for the synthesis of fatty acids, without which many vitamins do not work. B5 also participates in metabolism (proteins, carbohydrates, fats), is an anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory substance. To classical calcium "for bones" he has no relation, although this element is in the name. With calcium produce a completely different drug, called "Complivit D3 Calcium." Here he just provides the body with the bone needed for vitamin D3. An analogue of this drug can be called "Calcium D3 Nycomed". But let's return to the analysis of the multivitamin complex.
Vitamins A, P, E and C
In addition to the above group, the classic "Complicit" includes:
1. Retinol acetate (or true vitamin A). In its pure form it is unstable, therefore it is used in the form of acetate - acetic acid salt, which does not detract from its useful properties. Vitamin A is one of the best antioxidants, it slows down aging, improves the metabolism, helps the formation of bone tissue, improves vision, strengthens the body's resistance to infections, prolongs life even for those suffering from AIDS.
1. Ascorbic acid (or vitamin C). In nature, it is synthesized from hexose monosaccharide and in various amounts there are almost all fruits, many vegetables. Vitamin C is needed for the work of all organs and systems, to strengthen blood vessels and gums, restore hair, skin, rejuvenate the body.
2. A-tocopherol acetate (or vitamin E). These are bioactive substances, often used in food additives. Vitamin E will serve as an antioxidant, increases immunity.
3. Rutiside (or vitamin P). Found in the plant root, which is why it got its name. Also found in black currant, citrus, dandelion, garlic, peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables. It is irreplaceable for avitominosis, thrombosis, rheumatism and dozens of other diseases. Vitamin P has an antioxidant effect, strengthens blood vessels, improves blood circulation.
4. Nicotinamide niacin (or vitamin PP). Used for many diseases of the digestive tract, diabetes, during pregnancy, with malignant tumors.
In pharmacies there is a drug "Complivit D3 Calcium", which includes calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol, absent in the multivitamin "Complicant. It is intended for those who are deficient in calcium, is also prescribed for osteoporosis, after fractures for better bone adhesion, but is not a means to strengthen immunity.
Trace Elements
Minerals included in most multivitamin complexes perform many functions. They improve the work of the heart, nervous system, GIT, liver, affect the skin condition, growth and strength of hair, eyesight, hearing, memory. In addition, minerals contribute to better absorption of vitamins and always work with them in tandem. The classical "Complivit" includes: magnesium, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, cobalt, iron, copper and zinc. There is also a series in which selenium is added. Of course, these elements are not used in pure form, but in the form of salts (sulfates and phosphates), obtained by chemical synthesis. All of them passed the necessary testing, they are safe for people. Do not forget the manufacturers and pro lipoevuyu (or tiointovuyu, which is the same thing), the acid needed to regulate and maintain metabolic processes in the body and increase the functionality of many organs.
