A little about vitamins – something you didn’t know about

Murzaeva Irina Yurievna

Endocrinologist, Preventive Medicine Doctor

September 23, 2018

Vitamins are classified as a subtype of micronutrients that are needed by the body in small doses - mcg or mg , but are needed constantly!! Many of the vitamins can influence the formation of the cell genome and, accordingly, influence reproduction and susceptibility to cancer. In our country, hypervitaminosis does not occur physiologically, but multiple vitamin deficiencies do. Deficiency can be of 3 degrees of severity:

• vitamin deficiency (complete absence),
• hypovitaminosis (partial absence),
• subnormal security.

Next they will write about each vitamin separately and in the form of a brief reference. Since vitamins are often closely related to microelements, I will mention them a little.

1. The most common deficiency is a lack of B vitamins (B1, B2, B5, B6, B12), especially in schoolchildren. This is due to the predominance of refined foods and stress.
2. Allergies to B vitamins (especially injectable ones) are often associated not with “the vitamin itself,” but with sulfites that stabilize the vitamin solution. And if you are allergic to injectable forms, you may not be allergic to tablet forms.
3. B vitamins are better absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and are used in injections only for acute conditions (radiculopathy, neuritis, etc.).
4. MYTH - B vitamins provoke cancer!!! Vitamins B1+B6+B12 do not affect tumor metastasis!!! And they even have an unpronounced antitumor effect.
5. Vitamins B12 and D significantly reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer.
6. Vitamin E and Selenium in the experiment increased the risk of bronchial cancer - ONLY IN SMOKERS! (more than 1 pack of cigarettes per day).
7. Vitamin C + Iron + Manganese (Mn) is the best three for the treatment of IDA (iron deficiency anemia).
8. Vitamin B12 + Iodine + Selenium = optimal prevention of autoimmune diseases (note!!! already developed pathologies are not meant ).
9. Vitamin PP + chromium (Cr) = excellent option in the treatment of insulin resistance and obesity.
10. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) + magnesium = a great migraine treatment pairing!
11. For better absorption of vitamins, movement is necessary! Physical inactivity weakens the absorption of all vitamins!
12. To treat osteoporosis, the dose of vitamin D should maintain its concentration in the blood at least 40 ng/ml.
13. In case of atopic dermatitis, dry skin syndrome, seizures, dry lips, conjunctivitis and recurrent furunculosis that are difficult to treat, there may be a genetic predisposition to impaired absorption of vitamins (this is a separate article) - today such an analysis is available in Russian practice.
14. Boys are more predisposed to polyhypovitaminosis than girls.
15. Frequent nausea without signs of infection is a common symptom of vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency.
16. Leg cramps are often a deficiency of Iron, Magnesium, vitamins B1 and B6.
17. A history of tuberculosis in relatives and a positive tuberculin test in a patient is an almost 100% marker of a genetic disorder in the absorption of vitamin D, which requires treatment with large prophylactic doses of vitamin D.
18. Complivit is a vitamin that is suitable for daily use by almost everyone. Supradin - for acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections, in a short course.
19. Folic acid for preparing for pregnancy and treating hyperhomocysteinemia is better absorbed in the form of methylfolate (the active form of folic acid).
20. Rosveratrol with a low-calorie diet (low-calorie diet) will help prevent hunger attacks.
21. Alphalipoic acid + myoinositol + magnesium + zinc = an excellent 3-month treatment regimen for asthenozoospermia .
22. Q10 + Selenium + Omega-3 + Alphatocopherol (active vitamin E) = against the background of dyslipoproteinemia, they can become an alternative to statins in the absence of cardiovascular disease and severe degrees of atherosclerosis.
23. Thioctic (lipoic acid) is the best way to treat fatty hepatosis today.
24. Zinc + vitamin C in the 1st phase of the cycle/vitamin E + Copper + Magnesium in the 2nd phase of the cycle = a universal scheme for stabilizing menstrual irregularities.
25. Large doses of selenium that are tried to be used in thyroidology, more than 200 mcg, are fraught with toxic effects!! A dose of 75-100 mcg is sufficient for the treatment of AIT.
26. 25% of the population has a defect in the absorption of vitamin B12. This is expressed by the phenomena of neuropathy - periodic numbness of the toes and hands.
27. Magnesium does not have to be combined with vitamin B6; it is perfectly absorbed without B6.
28. If you have urolithiasis (urolithiasis) and take vitamin D, so that it does not fall out as a “calcium deposit,” you need to take magnesium citrate. And keep hydrated!
29. Vitamin K2 is not as strong a stimulator of vitamin D absorption as it is “painted to be.”
30. Vitamin A + Omega-3 = a good treatment regimen for dry skin and acne!
31. Anemia and other diseases can impair the absorption of vitamin D by 30% or more. And including reducing its concentration in the blood!!!
32. Preventive (safe doses) of vitamin D for adults - 2400-5000 IU/day.
33. The adrenal glands accumulate the most vitamin C. A safe daily dose of vitamin C is 500-1000 mg; in the active form, doses can be much higher (but this is only a doctor’s decision!!).
34. Zinc is lost quickly during hypothermia, which aggravates the course of acute respiratory infections and acute respiratory viral infections . An excellent solution is 50-70 mg of zinc for 5 days in acute conditions.
35. Vitamin A+Selenium+Lutein = treatment regimen for diseases of the organ of vision.
36. Algae-based omega-3s are a great alternative for those allergic to omega-3s from fish.
37. It is better to take Omega-3 constantly; large doses are indicated only under the control of the Omega-3 blood index and blood platelet level!!!
38. Phosphorus (+ calcium) for “strengthening bones” is needed more by children than by adults - in adults, phosphates predominate in food! For adults, vitamin D + calcium is preferred.
39. Organic iodine, as well as inorganic iodine (potassium iodide), are absorbed with the same bioavailability. There is no need to isolate organic iodine.
40. Vitamin E – proven prevention of bladder and kidney cancer (!)
41. Unfortunately, active forms of vitamins are rarely found on the Russian market, which makes it difficult to use them to correct certain conditions.
42. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is very important for the synthesis of steroid hormones, with adrenal dysfunction, for example, and has a healing property for erosive defects of the stomach, etc.
43. Recently, science has begun to attract a lot of attention - chronopharmacology , which also studies the absorption of vitamins by time of day. For example, vitamin D and calcium are better absorbed in the evening!

To be continued ….

Mistake #7. Ignore iron (ferritin)

Iron deficiency leads to anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, dry skin, and hair loss. Women are at risk for iron loss due to menstruation; vegetarians and vegetarians do not receive the required amount of this microelement.

Mistake #8. Taking Iron Blindly

In terms of absorption, iron is a particularly capricious microelement. It should be taken with particular caution. The point is not even that the drug in drops stains tooth enamel. Excess iron is deposited in internal organs (liver, pancreas, thyroid gland), leading to serious disorders: hemochromatosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, melasma (dusty bronze skin color).

Iron is poorly absorbed with dairy products and coffee.

On the contrary, vitamin C, B12, and folic acid contribute to the favorable absorption of iron.

If iron is poorly absorbed, the doctor prescribes special complexes

.

Side effects

As a rule, there are no side effects when using Opti-Men, but in some cases the following negative reactions may appear:

• allergies (rash, irritation, itching);
• anaphylactic shock;
• digestive disorders (stomach pain, nausea, flatulence, etc.);
• headache;
• excessive excitability;
• hyperactivity.

The occurrence of undesirable consequences is extremely individual, so the decision to continue taking the complex should be made together with your doctor.

Who should not take it?

Contraindications for taking Opti-Men are allergic reactions, as well as bronchial asthma in the acute stage. This is due to the content of oyster extract in the composition and the high risk of undesirable consequences.

Admission restrictions also include:

• hypervitaminosis;
• age under 18 years;
• lactation;
• pregnancy.

Despite the fact that the Opti-Men complex is intended for the male population, the manufacturer is obliged to issue a warning that pregnant and lactating women cannot take the product.

Healthy Supplements at 40

The gradual decline of ovarian function can appear as early as 40 years of age. The condition of the skin noticeably deteriorates, it loses elasticity, and the hair turns grey. You can effectively maintain health during this period with the help of vitamin supplements combined into complexes for mature women. They must include the following components:

• B6 – to maintain the functioning of the nervous system, normalize sleep and reduce PMS symptoms;
• E – to slow down aging, improve skin condition;
• D- for the prevention of endometrial hyperplasia, cancer;
• A – to strengthen blood vessels, vision, for the prevention of gynecological pathologies;
• K – to normalize blood clotting, prevent uterine bleeding.

After forty years, due to a decrease in ovarian function, the body begins to decline. A good multivitamin will not stop this process, but will help support the body.

Customer Reviews

Reviews from men taking Opti-Men indicate that you should not expect a miracle from the drug, and you will not be able to build muscle mass by taking only these capsules.

As for activity, almost 100% of consumers report a significant increase in strength and energy - this allows them to make workouts more intense and longer and achieve better results.

No less important is the normalization of the sexual sphere.

Men experiencing problems with potency note that while taking Opti-Men capsules they were able to improve the process of sexual intercourse.

Problems with potency (provided there were no serious diseases) disappeared after 4 weeks of daily use.

Mistake #9. Sports dietary supplements - trust and not test

Some athletes take proteins to accelerate muscle growth and “drying”. One of the most popular today is casein.

, which is made from ordinary cow's milk.
Casein protein is cheap to produce, but it is not suitable for everyone. Why is casein harmful? Once in the body, it turns into casomorphin
, which is addictive and can provoke inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, autoimmune diseases, swelling and lethargy.

Casein protein should not be taken by those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, as well as individual intolerance to lactose and casein.

Mistake #10. Not only collagen and hyaluronic acid are beneficial for the skin

After 35-40 years, the skin ages. Many women experience a lack of collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid: in this case, injection cosmetology and capsules come to the rescue as an auxiliary method of combating signs of age-related changes.

However, other components are also beneficial for the skin:

• Sex hormones;
• Vitamin C;
• Sulfur;
• Silicon;
• Iron;
• Zinc.

Mistake #6. Do not distinguish between Omega-3 and Omega-6

Omega-3

and
Omega-6
are healthy and important unsaturated fatty acids for the body. However, there is no additional need to take Omega-6 - we get this component in sufficient quantities from food - vegetable oils, poultry, oatmeal, etc. Excess Omega-6 can play into the hands of inflammatory processes in the body.
