B vitamins in tablets. The best multivitamin complex: name, description, composition, reviews

Dear friends, good day!

I’ve been preparing for this conversation (mentally) for a long time, and now I’ve finally made up my mind. Today we will talk about vitamins, which occupy more than one shelf in pharmacy windows. I can imagine how difficult it is for you to choose the most suitable complex of vitamins and minerals among them when you are approached with such a request.

Moreover, recently our citizens have been captured by a real vitamin boom. Spring has come - you need to take vitamins. Autumn has arrived - it's time to support yourself before the cold season. In winter we eat few vegetables and fruits, which means we need to take vitamins. And some take them all year round, because the environment is “not the same,” the products are “not the same,” we live “wrong,” etc., etc.

Therefore, an endless stream of young and old, sick and healthy, come to your pharmacy in order to once again blow your mind with their question:

“What vitamins do you recommend?”

Having studied the information on the Internet and passed it through myself, I will now express MY opinion, and, as always happens on, I will sketch out an algorithm for when to recommend which vitamins and minerals.

But first, let's very briefly recall the basics.

What are vitamins?

Vitamins (from the Latin “vita” - life) are VITAL amines, that is, nitrogen-containing compounds.

With a few exceptions, they are not synthesized in the body, which means they must get there from the outside.

Normal full life without them is impossible, since they are biocatalysts, that is, they regulate metabolic processes occurring in the body. Vitamins activate the work of enzymes that trigger amazing chemical processes in our body. Thanks to this, we can breathe, blink, move our fingers, pick our nose, think, in general, LIVE!

Vitamins are also necessary for the synthesis of hormones that regulate a variety of body functions.

They are divided into fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (all others).

Water-soluble vitamins are quickly excreted, so they rarely cause hypervitaminosis.

Fat-soluble ones are dangerous because in case of an overdose they can accumulate in the body, causing severe disorders. Vitamins A and D were especially distinguished for this.

Vitamin A in large doses has a teratogenic effect. And given that it can accumulate in the body, after finishing taking it, it is recommended to become pregnant only after 6-12 months.

Another important fact. Some researchers argue that vitamin A should not be taken by smokers because it increases their risk of developing oncological diseases, interacting with some components cigarette smoke.

How are problems of compatibility of vitamins and minerals solved in modern complexes?

Vitamins and microelements can “help” each other in work, or they can hinder. To solve the compatibility problem, manufacturing companies resort to various tricks:

  1. Physically separate components by different tablets, such as in vitamin and mineral complexes Alphabet, Duovit.
  2. They use microencapsulation technology, when each component is placed in its own microcapsule, protecting it from antagonists.
  3. Uses controlled release technology with at different times release of the active substance.

This is in response to buyers’ remarks that there is the good old Undevit, which costs several times less, and at the same time “is no worse.”

However, the question arises: how are the above technologies used in syrups? I don't think so.

To drink or not to drink vitamins?

So, where should vitamins come from?

Here, as you understand, there are two sources: food and ready-made vitamin complexes.

I don't know where it came from popular opinion that vitamins are found exclusively in vegetables and fruits. And supposedly that’s why you need to lean on them in the summer and autumn in order to “stock up” on them right up to the summer. This is nonsense!

Firstly, most of them are eliminated within 5-6 hours.

Secondly, in order not to experience a lack of vitamins, a person should eat 6 types of food all year round: meat, fish, dairy products, cereals, vegetables, fruits.

Do you think the average person eats this?

More likely yes than no. And even if he doesn’t eat, for example, beef liver, then he probably eats something from this set: carrots, herbs, butter, eggs, milk, tomatoes, peppers. And therefore, he receives his daily requirement of vitamin A. The same situation applies to other vitamins.

Therefore, in most cases, even Internet workaholics like me do not experience any particular lack of vitamins. 🙂

Therapists also confirm this. Have you ever been diagnosed with “hypovitaminosis of such and such” or even worse: “vitaminosis”?

I highly doubt it. Most often, the reasons for loss of strength, insomnia, and irritability are much more commonplace. And we mistake them for a lack of vitamins and run to the pharmacy for magic pills to bring ourselves to our senses. But no miracle happens. And, despite this, we stupidly continue to drink multivitamins and feed them to our family, firmly believing that we care about our health and the health of our loved ones.

In preparation for this conversation, I read a lot of articles and saw that pundits were divided on synthetic vitamins. Some say that modern complexes vitamins and minerals are identical to natural ones, and you need to drink them almost all year round. Others believe that synthetic vitamins have completely different molecules and are therefore useless. My intuition tells me that the latter are more right.

So, to drink or not to drink a vitamin-mineral complex? Here's my opinion:

If a person feels well, eats normally, and nothing bothers him, there is no need to take vitamins.

But I understand perfectly well that the dialogue:

-Please advise some vitamins!

- I don’t recommend them to you at all...

It will look, to put it mildly, ridiculous.

So I continue:

Additional vitamin intake is necessary in the following cases:

  • With a monotonous and inadequate diet in a frantic pace of life, when in the morning there is coffee with a sandwich, in the afternoon - tea with candy or cookies (5 times), and a normal dinner only in the evening, and only if you have enough strength. This also includes hunger strikes, called a beautiful word"diet".
  • After illnesses.
  • For severe chronic diseases.
  • If the work involves increased physical activity.
  • After treatment with antibiotics.
  • For chronic stress.
  • During pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • For hypo- and avitaminosis confirmed by tests.
  • If a person smokes. The need of smokers, for example, for vitamin C is 40% higher than that of non-smokers.

In this regard, I came up with an algorithm for selecting vitamins.

7 questions for a buyer purchasing a complex of vitamins and minerals

  1. Who are you taking it for: an adult or a child?
  2. Age of the child (adult)?
  3. Man or woman?
  4. To a smoker or not?
  5. Are there any diseases? thyroid gland?
  6. For what purpose are you taking it?
  7. Do you take any other vitamins?

Now let me explain.

On the first point everything is clear.

2. Age of the child (adult)?

Everything is clear with children too.

Two words about complexes for adults.

Alphabet 50+ contains increased doses of calcium, as well as lutein and lycopene to prevent retinal diseases. Caution: contains iodine!

Vitrum Centuri. Includes: high doses some vitamins and more minerals than any other complex. Do Russians need them?

Complement for women 45+. Contains motherwort and black cohosh extract, which reduces the symptoms of menopause. I also like that there is no iodine in this complex. You never know, what if you have a thyroid disease when iodine is contraindicated?

3. Are you buying for a man or a woman?

The need for vitamins and minerals is different for men and women.

In vitamins Duovit for men more antioxidants, B vitamins, magnesium, and in vitamins Duovit for women more iron, and this is logical, because a woman loses a certain amount of blood every month.

Do you remember the “trick” of these vitamins? The vitamins and minerals are separated into different tablets to ensure they don't conflict with each other.

And if life is associated with constant stress, overwork, lack of sleep, business trips, then vitamin and mineral complexes for men and women from Pharmamed are suitable "More than a multivitamin."

4. To a smoker or not?

Smokers have a significantly higher need for vitamins. The body functions in extreme mode, because the toxic substances contained in tobacco smoke, absorbed into the blood, penetrate every cell. In this regard, vitamins are consumed faster, and a new portion is needed.

Therefore, regular vitamins are not enough.

Previously, I remember, there were special vitamins for Vitamkur smokers. I don't see them now. It's a pity. They did not contain vitamin A, which is dangerous for smokers, and the dosages of other vitamins were the most appropriate.

After looking at the composition of several vitamins, I settled on. There is less vitamin A than in other complexes, the content of antioxidants C, E, selenium, B vitamins, magnesium, which is necessary for maintaining the cardiovascular and nervous systems, is increased.

In second place I would put Supradin.

But I would abstain from vitamins containing ginseng, eleutherococcus, and lemongrass, since the blood vessels of smokers are in a chronically narrowed state, which can lead to increased blood pressure. Why raise it even more?

5. Do you have thyroid disease?

(with hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, iodine is contraindicated).

6. For what purpose will you take vitamins?

"For prevention":

  • Alphabet(contains iodine).
  • Multi-tabs Classic(contains iodine).
  • Complivit(no iodine).
  • Bio-Max(no iodine).
  • Duovit(“unisex” - no iodine).

After suffering from a cold, taking antibiotics.

Multi-tabs Immuno Plus(contains iodine) – contains lactobacilli, so it also intestinal microflora restores.

For physical fatigue or tiredness:

  • (there is iodine).
  • Supradin(no iodine).
  • Alphabet Energy contains extracts of lemongrass, eleutherococcus, succinic acid(there is iodine).
  • Gerimaks Energy(no iodine) contains ginseng extract.
  • Dynamisan(contains iodine) contains ginseng extract, amino acids arginine, glutamine to improve memory and performance.
  • Vitrum Performance(contains ginseng, iodine).

The last four drugs are contraindicated in high blood pressure, insomnia. Ask about this and warn!

With an active lifestyle (sports, fitness, hiking, etc.)

  • Alphabet Effect(there is iodine).
  • Supradin(no iodine).

Hair is dull, nails are peeling, etc.

  • Vitrum beauty(18-30 years old).
  • Vitrum Beauty Elite(over 30 years old).
  • Vitrum Beauty Luke s (over 45 years old).
  • Alphabet Cosmetics

All contain iodine.

"Sedatives"

  • Vitrum superstress(no iodine).
  • Complivit Antistress. Contains Ginkgo Biloba extract, improves cerebral circulation and memory. There is no iodine.

For diabetics

  • Complivit Diabetes(no iodine).
  • Alphabet Diabetes(contains iodine).

7. Do you take any other vitamins?

We ask this question to prevent an overdose of vitamins. If the answer is “yes,” tell us about a possible overdose of vitamins and advise taking a new complex only after the old one has been “eaten.”

This is the questionnaire I came up with.

Of course, it is impossible to consider all complexes of vitamins and minerals here. There are too many of them.

But my opinion is this:

If you take vitamins for preventive purposes,

It is better to choose a complex with a lower vitamin content.

That's why I Vitrum And Centrum don't like it. There is a lot mixed into them, and some components are in increased dosages. Is this necessary? I even thought, maybe they were created specifically for those who don’t eat anything at all?

In addition, the vitamin needs of residents of different countries are different. Therefore, I believe that Russian vitamins are the best for us.

But still, any synthetic vitamin is a serious burden on the liver, and vitamins containing high doses of vitamin C also put a strain on the kidneys.

In addition, most vitamins contain a lot excipients, and these chemical names make you sick.

And one last thing.

How long should I take them?

In MY opinion, it will be quite enough to take them for 1 month, 2 times a year.

But, honestly, it’s better to eat normally than to stuff yourself with artificial vitamins.

What do YOU ​​think about this? Write, share, comment, complement.

With love to you, Marina Kuznetsova

What side effects are possible with a lack of vitamins A, B, C, D, E. How to take each of these elements correctly.

Throughout its existence, humanity has been in search of the elixir of eternal youth. People dream of living long, being healthy and beautiful. Unfortunately, so miracle cure not yet, but with the help of vitamins A, B, C, D, E it is possible to slow down the process of approaching old age and improve health.

It is important that useful elements arrive in a timely manner and in sufficient quantities. If there is a deficiency, the following side effects are possible:

  • weakness;
  • increased fatigue(mental and physical);
  • deterioration of attention and memory;
  • weakening immune system;
  • increased irritability;
  • slowing down the formation of new cells;
  • problems with the formation of new teeth and bones.

This list of problems faced by a person in case of deficiency useful substances, far from complete. In the article we will pay attention to the key elements for the body - vitamins A, B, C, D, E, which are involved in many vital functions. important processes and promoting health.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble substance that occurs naturally exists in two forms:

  • Retinol is a ready-made vitamin A. It enters the body along with animal products.
  • Carotene (provitamin A) is a substance that, after entering the blood, reacts with carotinase and is converted into retinol.

Action:

  • Slowing down the aging process of the body, which is reflected in improving the condition of the skin and maintaining youth for a long time.
  • Accelerating the growth of teeth, hair and bones, as well as ensuring their normal formation.
  • Normalization of redox processes.
  • Preventing the development of “night blindness” due to the presence of substances in the retina that provide visual functions. It is retinol that ensures rapid adaptation of the eyes to darkness.
  • Strengthening the immune and cardiovascular system.
  • Increasing the amount of good cholesterol in the blood and reducing the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
  • Increasing resistance to cancer and other diseases.

Main sign of deficiency - « night blindness", which manifests itself sharp deterioration vision with sudden changes in illumination. The eyes take longer to prepare for changes in light brightness. If the dark adaptation time exceeds 15-20 seconds, it is recommended to consult a doctor for advice. During the intake process, it is important to avoid another risk - the toxic effect of an overdose.

Sources include parsley, carrots, spinach, tomato and peach. A large amount of retinol is found in green peas, rowan and sorrel. The diet should include apples, rose hips, red peppers, potatoes and green onions.

Interesting facts about carrots, which are a supplier of carotene:

  • Studies have shown that regular intake of retinol in sufficient quantities reduces the risk of macular degeneration.
  • The presence of carrots in the diet reduces the risk of developing malignant tumors of the colon and lungs. In addition, this product is natural antiseptic, stopping development infectious diseases. It is enough to apply a cut raw vegetable to the wound to stop the development of infection.
  • According to scientists, people who eat 5-6 carrots a day suffer less from strokes.

The vitamin activity of carotene is three times lower when compared with retinol. For this reason, vitamin-containing foods plant origin should be in the diet three times more than animal food with retinol.

B vitamins

From the “trinity” of vitamins A, B and E, scientists often isolate substances belonging to group B. Their advantages are a multifaceted effect on the body, namely strengthening the central nervous system, improving skin condition, normalizing metabolic processes. The main representatives of this group include:

  • Thiamine(B1) - a substance involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Its intake normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Thiamine is also involved in improving blood circulation and removing toxins and poisonous substances from the body. Thiamine is often recommended for use to protect against the negative effects of cigarette smoke and alcohol. B1 has a positive effect on body growth, muscle tone and appetite.
  • Riboflavin(B2) - an element that guarantees stable cell renewal. The substance is part of most enzymes and is involved in the breakdown of BZHU. Riboflavin is recommended for people whose activities involve frequent stress, as well as athletes for whom the formation of a sufficient amount of energy is key. Riboflavin is also involved in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy.
  • Nicotinic acid(niacin, vitamin B3). Medicine has long classified this substance as a drug. Taking niacin guarantees normalization of blood cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of depression, and improving attention. The positive effect of nicotinic acid on joint mobility has been proven.
  • Pantothenic acid and (B5) is a substance that quickly and effectively fights inflammation in the body. B5 is often taken for weight loss, participates in fat burning, and optimizes metabolic processes. Regular supply of the substance guarantees the production of a sufficient amount of energy, positive influence on brain activity, protection against depression and forgetfulness.
  • Pyridoxine(B6) - element playing key role for athletes involved in strength sports. It participates in metabolic processes and regulates the process of protein absorption. The main thing is to combine the intake of B6 with B2, without which pyridoxine has 4 times less value. The additive is involved in the creation of red blood cells, and in addition to protein, it participates in fat and carbohydrate metabolism.
  • Folic acid(B9) - a substance involved in the production of red blood cells. B9 improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, improves activity nervous system and CNS. Taking folic acid improves mood, ensures better absorption of other vitamins and reduces the risk of heart problems. Folic acid is also important in preparation for childbirth and during pregnancy.
  • Cyanocobalamin(B12) is an element that plays a key role in the restoration of the central nervous system, cell growth and hematopoiesis. The main sources of cyanocobalamin are products of animal origin (most of the substance is in the liver). The element is most useful for athletes who engage in strength sports and aim for rapid muscle growth.

Ascorbic acid

Vitamins A, C, E are considered the main elements that guarantee the strengthening of the immune system, as well as protection against infectious and other diseases. At the same time main role plays ascorbic acid, which is involved in many vital processes. The element was discovered in 1747 by a young student medical university. He noticed that eating citrus fruits reduced the risk of scurvy, a disease that killed thousands of sailors during that period. It turned out that 10 mg of ascorbic acid per day is enough to avoid the onset of a fatal disease. In this case, the daily norm is covered by eating two apples, 250 mg of grapes or one boiled potato.

Main functions:

  • Blocks toxic substances and protects against infections.
  • Participation in the course of redox and metabolic processes.
  • Strengthening blood vessels.
  • Acceleration of the wound healing process.
  • Improving metabolic processes.
  • Optimization of fat processing, which helps in achieving slimness.

Ascorbic acid deficiency appears as follows:

  • The appearance of red lines on the bottom of the tongue.
  • The appearance of red spots on the shoulders.
  • Sleep disturbance and increased fatigue of the body, which becomes more noticeable with a decrease in vitamin intake.
  • Hair loss.
  • Bleeding gums.

As for overdose, if ascorbic acid is obtained from products of plant origin, it is rare. Side effects include:

  • decrease in capillary permeability;
  • adrenal atrophy;
  • blurred vision.

The leader in vitamin A content is considered to be rose hips, 100 grams of which contain 0.55 g of ascorbic acid. Next on the conventional “pedestal” are parsley (about 200 mg) and sea buckthorn berries (300-600 mg). In addition, ascorbic acid is present in sufficient quantity in black currant, strawberry, horseradish and banana.

Please note that during the heat treatment, vitamin C is destroyed, so it is almost absent in cooked foods. The volume also decreases when frozen, pickled or salted. When storing greens in the refrigerator, the volume of ascorbic acid in the composition decreases after just one day. by 10-20 percent. The content of the element in products depends on culinary processing. Almost destroyed in water 2/3 vitamin, and in case of steaming - only 10-12 percent. In general, it is recommended to store vitamin-containing foods in an acidic environment. This way it is possible to preserve ascorbic acid in the greatest volume.

Vitamin D

Vitamins A, D, E are reliable helpers in improving metabolic processes and maintaining youthful skin. One of the main functions is performed by vitamin D. In medicine, this drug is known as the main medicine in the treatment of rickets. Main feature D is that it comes only from food and is not able to be synthesized by the human body. The main source of the useful element is the sun's rays.

Regular sunbathing eliminates deficiency. At the same time must be taken into account the following conditions:

  • It is best to sunbathe in the morning, immediately after sunrise, or in the evening, when the sun's disk has set below the horizon. During this period, vitamin production occurs most actively.
  • People with fair skin produce more of the beneficial substance.
  • Gradual aging of the body leads to deterioration in digestibility.
  • Dust, gas pollution and emissions from enterprises eliminate the negative effects of sunlight.

It is worth considering that sunbathing should be taken in moderation while simultaneously taking in beneficial elements. Thus, vitamins A, E, D in special supplements reduce the carcinogenic effect of sunlight and protect the skin. The formation of vitamin D is promoted following procedures:

  • water baths;
  • massage;
  • air baths.

All this guarantees a high-quality massage, which accelerates cell renewal and normalizes the functioning of the glands.

Effect on the body:

  • Helps the body absorb calcium, which improves the formation of teeth and bones.
  • Participation in the regulation of cell reproduction.
  • Strengthening muscle fibers and normalization of metabolic processes.
  • Increasing the body's resistance to heart and vascular diseases.

For greater effect and better absorption recommended simultaneous administration vitamin D and E.

Insufficient vitamin D intake increases the risk of developing the following diseases:

  • arthritis;
  • diabetes;
  • atherosclerosis.

When exposed to the sun for 15-20 minutes a day, the body receives half the daily requirement. The dosage largely depends on the level physical activity, age, physical condition and a number of other factors. When taking vitamin complexes, it is recommended to control the dosage, because increased consumption of the substance over a long period leads to similar effects (one of them is softening of bones).

The main sources of the substance are butter, milk, meat and egg yolk. It is recommended to include other foods in the diet, including sour cream, tuna, mackerel and herring.

Tocopherol: beneficial effects, how to take

Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a substance that is known in medicine for its beneficial effect on the functioning of the gonads and reproductive functions. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were a lot of misconceptions about this vitamin. At the same time, many believed that taking it interfered with the absorption of vitamins C and D. Later studies completely refute this misconception.

Action of tocopherol:

  • Prevention of development malignant tumors.
  • Strengthening blood vessels and accelerating wound healing.
  • Protecting the body from the negative effects of free radicals.
  • Protecting the skin from UV, as well as improving the transport of beneficial elements to the body tissues.
  • Prevents the formation of blood clots.
  • Prevention of atherosclerosis, “inhibition” of the disease.
  • Normalization of the muscular system.

Tocopherol does not have an immediate effect. So, in the presence of kidney inflammation, thrombosis or rheumatism, it begins to work in 5-10 days. At the same time, your health will only improve in 1-1.5 months.

In case of acute vitamin E deficiency, the following consequences are possible:

  • Impaired sperm production.
  • Disruptions in the menstrual cycle.
  • Deterioration of sexual desire.

Long-term overdose leads to weakening of the immune system, disruption of digestive processes and bleeding. An increase is also possible blood pressure, weakening of the immune system and disruptions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Tocopherol is mostly found in foods of natural origin - vegetable oils, nuts, cabbage, tomatoes and others. Yes, one spoon sunflower oil or 6-7 nuts are enough to cover the daily requirement. The vitamin is also present in animal products - shrimp, beef, cheese, eggs and others.

The issue of taking tocopherol in the form of supplements deserves special attention. It is important to figure out how to take vitamin E - before or after meals. Regardless of the type of element, it applies to everyone general rule- taken in the morning and after meals. It is forbidden to drink tocopherol on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before the start of a meal.

A prerequisite for normal digestibility of tocopherol- the presence of sufficient fat in the stomach. This is why eating nuts, sunflower seeds or other foods for breakfast is recommended. A tablet is taken 30 minutes after finishing the meal. It is allowed to drink it with water only - drinking juices, coffee, milk or soda as a liquid is excluded.

When deciding how to take vitamin E (before or after meals), it is worth considering the fact of taking other medicines. Combining tocopherol with antibiotics or other medications not recommended. Before using the supplement, it is recommended to carefully read the instructions. Tablets should not be swallowed or bitten due to the risk of destruction of the vitamin in the oral cavity. For greater effect, it is recommended to take ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin D.

Saturating the body with vitamins and microelements is a guarantee of good health. It is important that the substances come from food, and only if there is a deficiency - from special supplements.

During periods of physical activity and irregular nutrition, taking multivitamins is mandatory so that the body does not work for wear. Share your comments about the presented vitamins: who tried which ones, did you like them, is there any result expected from taking them?

And minerals for daily proper functioning. The absence of any vitamin can lead to serious consequences from weakened immunity to the development of severe chronic diseases. The lack of vitamins is especially acute during the cold season. When we are less and less spoiled by the bright rays of the sun, summer fruits and vegetables are gradually disappearing from store shelves, and instead of walking in the fresh air, we want to quickly crawl under a warm blanket with a mug of hot tea. During this period, doctors recommend taking. Any such complex necessarily includes vitamins A and E. What are these vitamins for, and how can their deficiency affect human health?

The benefits of vitamins A and E

Vitamin A is responsible for normal metabolism in the body. And also correct work immune system, which helps prevent many viral and infectious diseases. Supports the functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Vitamin A is one of the first helpers for your eyes. And it is worth mentioning the beneficial effects on skin, hair, bones and teeth. In addition, scientists have proven that vitamin A prevents the development cancer cells in the human body.
The main effect of vitamin E is to maintain the level of antioxidants throughout the body, which prevents skin aging. Like vitamin A, vitamin E supports, thereby protecting against colds and flu. In addition, it actively participates in cell nutrition and strengthening the walls of blood vessels. Vitamin E is indispensable for the beauty and health of hair and skin.
Vitamins A and E are recommended to be taken together for a reason. The fact is that vitamin E prevents the destruction of vitamin A, while maintaining the vitamin balance in the body.
A deficiency of vitamins A and E may result in the following consequences:
  • premature skin aging;
  • development of cancer of the skin, mammary glands, lungs, etc.;
  • various diseases gastrointestinal tract(, colitis, cholelithiasis, etc.);
  • hair problems (hair loss, dry scalp, itching);
  • skin problems (wrinkles, seborrheic dermatitis, various forms of acne);
  • destruction of tooth enamel;
  • various eye diseases (“night blindness”, dry eye mucosa, redness, burning);
  • chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract(tonsillitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, etc.);
  • diseases of the female reproductive system (endocervicitis, polyps, adenomatosis, leukoplakia, miscarriage);
  • problems with the male reproductive system (weakened erection, accelerated ejaculation).
And it's not full list possible consequences, because Vitamins A and E have an effect on all organ systems, and deficiency can affect at any time and be expressed in various manifestations.

Replenishment of vitamin A and E deficiency

How to properly use vitamins A and E to avoid their deficiency? First of all, you need to include foods containing these vitamins in your diet.
Vitamin A contains:
  • liver;
  • fatty sea ​​fish;
  • butter;
  • egg yolk;
  • dairy products;
  • bell pepper;

These capsules can be purchased at any pharmacy. They are called “Aevit” (vitamin A and E together), “Retinol acetate” (vitamin A) and “α-tocopherol acetate” (vitamin E). Doses are set depending on age, weight and daily requirement body. To prevent deficiency, the following are mainly prescribed:

There are also liquid solutions of these vitamins and drops on sale. But mainly they are intended for local application. For example, for wounds or cuts, it is recommended to lubricate the area of ​​skin damage with a solution of vitamins A and E, diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio.
To prevent sagging of the skin of the face and neck, and simply for a beautiful and even skin color, add 1 drop of vitamin solution to.
Also, liquid solutions of vitamins A and E are widely used as components of nourishing or restorative masks for hair and scalp. I offer readers of MirSovetov several recipes for masks for damaged and weakened hair using vitamins A and E:
  1. Mix 1 tablespoon burdock oil and jojoba oil, add ½ teaspoon of vitamin A and E in the oil. Mix thoroughly, apply to the entire length of the hair, cover the head with polyethylene, wrap in a towel and leave for 30-40 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly. Use once a week for 2 months.
