Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Antioxicaps with selenium is a complex vitamin preparation with a trace element.
Ascorbic acid plays an important role in the regulation of redox reactions in the body, potentiates carbohydrate and protein metabolism, increases cholesterol metabolism, increases blood clotting, and accelerates tissue regeneration. Vitamin C takes part in the synthesis of steroid hormones, increases the body's resistance to infections.
The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is provided by betacarotene, which is a precursor of vitamin A. Its mechanism of action is the ability to bind active oxygen, protecting cellular structures from the destructive effects of free radicals, which are formed in large quantities under adverse environmental conditions or pathological processes in the body.
Alpha-tocopherol acetate has antioxidant properties. Vitamin E stabilizes the strength of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids, slowing down the processes of fat oxidation and the formation of peroxides in the body. Restores the damaged structure of erythrocyte membranes and their function. Tocopherol activates the most important processes of cellular metabolism, including the function of tissue respiration and cell proliferation, takes part in the biosynthesis of heme, collagen and proteins.
Selenium is a microelement that has cytoprotective activity, slows down aging processes, and helps to regulate tissue elasticity. It activates the factors of nonspecific defense of the body, prevents the appearance of a secondary infection in the patient. Selenium occupies an essential place in the enzyme system of glutathione peroxidase and influences its activity. Glutathione peroxidase protects the intracellular structures from damage from free oxygen radicals, formed both during metabolism and as a result of the influence of ionizing radiation or other external factors.
