Restores a lack of trace elements and vitamins.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Vitrum Junior is a balanced mix of minerals and vitamins for teenagers and children. Promotes harmonization of functioning of the body, increases resistance to infectious organisms, activates the process of recovery after illness and injury. Recommended for unbalanced diet, eating disorders.

Vitamin A participates in the normal course of metabolic processes as well as in the regulation of growth and development of the organism. It normalizes the function of the organ of vision, increases the body's resistance to the effects of hostile environmental factors.

Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption in the intestine and kidney of phosphorus ensures correct construction skeleton and teeth in children.

Vitamin E - Antioxidant, inhibiting lipid oxidation, which is accelerated by the majority of diseases. Prevents damage to cellular components by free radicals of oxygen. It participates in the process of cellular respiration, synthesis heme and protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, cell differentiation, and many others.

Vitamin C participates in many types of redox reactions, regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, influences the exchange of an amino acid biosynthesis catecholamines , Metabolism thyroxine . steroid hormone and insulin . It regulates the permeability of capillaries. Increases absorption gland in the digestive tract and is involved in the biosynthesis of Hemoglobin . It has antitoxic properties. It is necessary for the recovery of bone and connective tissue collagen synthesis.

Vitamin B1 It normalizes the functioning of the digestive, nervous, endocrine and cardiac activity.

Riboflavin It contributes to the process of growth of the organism. Support processes non-specific immune response, normal function of the eye, affects the development of the nervous system and is involved in the synthesis of erythropoietin and Hemoglobin . Activates the secretory function of the stomach, helps the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines, is required to maintain a healthy microflora intestine.

Cyanocobalamin It has high bioactivity and is involved in all kinds of exchange. Accelerates regeneration regulates hematopoiesis, the nervous system and liver play a role in blood coagulation.

Vitamin B6 - Part of the proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism. It is necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Folic acid is required for the proper flow of erythropoiesis. Member biosynthesis of amino acids, and DNA.

Nicotinamide stimulates production nikotinadenindinukleotida and nikotinadenindinukleotidfosfata . These substances proton transfer in redox reactions, it is provided by the normal movement of the exchange of biochemical operations.

Biotin (vitamin H) component of enzymes that regulate lipid and protein metabolism. It is necessary for the biosynthesis of higher fatty and some other sweet.

Pantothenic acid activates the formation of corticosteroids. Involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the production of acetylcholine. Ensures proper energy supply of the myocardium, accelerates tissue regeneration.

Vitamin K1 - The active component of proteins that ensure normal blood clotting. Participates in metabolic processes in the connective tissue and bone. This vitamin enables calcium absorption and interaction Calcium and vitamin D .

Calcium participates formation of nerve impulses in the motor function of ensuring smooth and skeletal muscle infarction In the development of bone tissue.

Phosphorus - Structural part of nucleic acids, nucleotides, phospholipids, fosfoproteidov, kofenzimov, enzymes An important element of the tooth enamel and bone.

Magnesium It provides many metabolic processes, neuromuscular excitability and conductivity, reduces the concentration acetylcholine in the cells of the nervous system.

Brass - Member of redox reactions, protects the body against free radicals.

Iron - A mandatory component of the structure myoglobin, hemoglobin, cytochromes, also participated in a number of redox reactions. Without iron impossible hematopoiesis.

Zinc It makes an important contribution in the biosynthesis insulin, DNA, RNA, in the metabolism of fats and proteins that promotes the proper functioning T-lymphocyte . It is an antioxidant.

Manganese (as a unit structure and enzyme activator) participated in a number of physiological processes.

Iodine - A necessary component of the molecules thyroid hormones Participating in the establishment of the metabolic processes in the brain activity of cardiovascular and nervous system, human development, the formation of his mental faculties.

Molybdenum It prevents the loss of body fluorine . It has the ability to activate the destruction of purines and excretion Uric acid .

Chrome enhances the effects of insulin .
