Univit

Pharmacological properties

the medicine contains a combination of vitamins with calcium and phosphorus. Vitamins are substances that take part in the regulation of many biochemical processes in the body. the effect of vitamins and minerals in the body is more physiological rather than pharmacodynamic.

Vitamin B Group (B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, pantothenic acid, nicotinamide and folic acid) is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and also plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system.

Folic acid is necessary for the formation, regeneration and normal functioning of blood cells.

Vitamin A is necessary for the development of epithelial cells and the synthesis of visual pigment.

Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption and enables proper mineralization of bones and teeth.

Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron and is involved in many redox processes in the body.

Minerals are components of connective tissue and act as activators and constituents of enzymes.

Calcium and phosphorus play an important role in the mineralization of bones and teeth.

Calcium ions activate many enzymes, take part in the regulation of cardiac muscle tone, in the regulation of transmission of nerve impulses and regulate the permeability of cell membranes.

Pharmacokinetics Water-soluble vitamins (B vitamins, vitamin C and biotin) are well absorbed in amounts corresponding to daily requirements. Excessive amounts are excreted in the urine and, in some cases, also in the feces. These vitamins are stored in the body in limited quantities, so they must be regularly supplied with food to maintain the necessary concentration in the tissues.

In the presence of fats, orally ingested fat-soluble vitamins A and D are well absorbed in the small intestine. When used in large quantities, these vitamins are stored and stored in the liver, therefore they are more toxic than water-soluble vitamins.
