Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Bio-Max is a balanced vitamin and mineral complex, which includes 12 vital vitamins and 8 macro- and microelements. A specially selected combination of nutrients from the complex is developed in accordance with the needs of the inhabitants of the Russian Federation, taking into account the characteristics of their diet, climate and lifestyle.
The vitamin-mineral complex supports the energy reserve of systems and organs: promotes the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins; participates in the synthesis of connective tissue, collagen and neurotransmitters. It improves the body's defenses, ensures the normal functioning of the nervous system, increases resistance to stress, improves the condition of the skin, bone tissue, hair, gums, teeth, blood vessels, promotes wound healing and has antioxidant efficacy.
Pharmacological properties of individual components of Bio-Max:
- Vitamin A takes part in the synthesis of proteins, fats, mucopolysaccharides; ensures normal eye function; increases resistance to infection of the skin and mucous membranes;
- B vitamins are involved in the formation of various enzymes that support the regulation of metabolism in the body: thiamine hydrochloride - provides the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; riboflavin - essential for biological oxidation (cellular or tissue respiration) and catabolism; calcium pantothenate - required for metabolic processes, the synthesis of steroid hormones, phospholipids, and other physiologically active substances, supports the development and differentiation of cells; pyridoxine hydrochloride - an element of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism; cyanocobalamin - necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids, has an effect on hematopoiesis;
- Vitamin C is required for the oxidation of biologically active substances; takes part in the regulation of metabolic processes in connective tissue and carbohydrate metabolism; reduces the permeability of the walls of blood vessels, participates in the regeneration of bone and cartilage tissue; stimulates the synthesis of steroid hormones, potentiates the absorption of iron in the intestine;
- Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that maintains the stability of cell membranes and protects them from damage;
- Nicotinamide is involved in redox processes;
- Rutoside reduces capillary permeability;
- Folic acid is present in the synthesis of amino and nucleic acids, stimulates erythropoiesis;
- Lipoic or thioctic acid is required for the body's redox processes, exhibits hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects, and has a detoxifying effect in case of intoxication;
- Iron (Fe) is present in hemoglobin and a number of enzymes;
- Calcium (Ca) is an essential macronutrient in the structure of bone tissue (the body of a healthy person contains more than 1 kg of pure calcium), it is required for muscle contraction (including the heart muscle), blood clotting and synaptic transmission;
- Cobalt (Co) stimulates the processes of hematopoiesis, is part of cyanocobalamin;
- Magnesium (Mg) helps to strengthen the immune system, ensures the normal function of the cardiovascular system, eliminates rhythm disturbances and myocardial excitability;
- Manganese (Mn), along with calcium, takes part in the formation and mineralization of bone tissue;
- Copper (Cu) is required for normal iron metabolism, is involved in the supply of oxygen to tissues;
- Zinc (Zn) is present in many enzyme systems, ensures the production of insulin, as well as other hormones, participates in tissue regeneration;
- Phosphorus (P) is necessary for the formation of bone tissue and teeth, participates in the formation of high-energy compounds and in the transport of energy.
