Pentovit: how to take vitamins correctly

pharmachologic effect

The drug has a complex effect, which is determined by its constituent components.

Vitamin B1 has an active effect on the processes of neuromuscular regulation and is actively involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Vitamin B6 helps normalize the functioning of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. It also takes an active part in the metabolic processes of the body. Participates in the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

Vitamin B12 helps normalize the functioning of the liver and nervous system, stimulates the process of blood clotting, metabolic processes, and takes part in the synthesis of amino acids.

Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids.

Nicotinamide takes part in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and in the processes of tissue respiration.

Importance in the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases

Pentovit is included in therapeutic measures designed to treat inflammatory and degenerative pathologies of the spine and joint tissues. The vitamin complex is needed for combined treatment of osteochondrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and various arthrosis. Tablet forms are used in course treatment and for preventive purposes, with a low degree of tissue damage.

The use of neurotropic vitamins included in Pentovit allows for several therapeutic effects:

• blood flow to the affected tissue areas increases, by reducing vascular obliteration and minimizing the level of bad cholesterol;

• the process of neuroprotection is activated, preventing the death of the myelin sheath of neurons.

When taken as a course, the body's need for B vitamins, which are coenzymes for regulating the metabolism of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, is fully satisfied. Stabilization of metabolic processes leads to a decrease in the intensity of neurological and degenerative diseases.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride) is primarily absorbed in the duodenum and small intestine. Thiamine is distributed throughout all tissues. Approximately about 1 mg of thiamine is metabolized daily. Thiamine metabolites are excreted by the kidneys.

Vitamin PP (nicotinamide) is quickly absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract. It is distributed evenly throughout all tissues and organs.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, after which it is converted in the liver into pyridoxal phosphate, that is, into the active form of the vitamin. The final product of metabolism is 4-pyridoxylic acid, which is excreted from the body through the kidneys.

Folic acid in small doses is absorbed through absorption, and large doses through diffusion. Absorbed in the form of simple hydrolysates. Distributed in all tissues. The biotransformation and metabolism of folic acid have not yet been studied.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is transported to the ileum by a glycoprotein. If the vitamin enters the body in large doses, it is absorbed through simple diffusion. Vitamin metabolism is very slow. Excreted in bile.
