- vitamin E (α-tocopherol acetate): antioxidant properties, maintaining the stability of erythrocytes, preventing hemolysis; positively affects the function of nervous and muscle tissues, the work of the sex glands;
- vitamin B 1 (thiamine chloride): participation in the functioning of the nervous system and carbohydrate metabolism;
- vitamin B 2 (riboflavin) is an essential catalyst for visual perception and processes of cellular respiration;
- vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride): participation in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and protein metabolism;
- folic acid: necessary for the normalization of erythropoiesis, participation in the synthesis of nucleic acids, nucleotides, amino acids;
- rutoside (rutin): ensuring the accumulation and preventing the oxidation of ascorbic acid in tissues, the presence of antioxidant properties and participation in redox reactions;
- nicotinamide: participation in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, tissue respiration;
- vitamin C (ascorbic acid): influence on the maturation of erythrocytes and the production of hemoglobin, ensuring collagen synthesis, participation in the formation and maintenance of the normal structure and functions of teeth, bones, cartilage;
- vitamin B 12 (cyanocobalamin): an important element in myelin synthesis and folic acid metabolism, participation in the processes of nucleotide production, is necessary for the development of epithelial cells, growth and stimulation of hematopoiesis;
- glutamic acid: improving the activity of the central nervous system, increasing motor activity and mood, improving protein and carbohydrate metabolism, maintaining the functions of the brain (as a source of energy), stimulating oxidation processes, participating in nitrogen metabolism (which is the initial compound for the synthesis of amino acids in the body);
- methionine: participation in detoxification of xenobiotics, activation of the action of proteins, hormones, enzymes, vitamins;
- calcium pantothenate: is an important component of oxidative reactions and regeneration processes of the endothelium and epithelium;
- phytin: enhancing the growth and development of bone tissue, stimulating hematopoiesis, improving central nervous system function in diseases caused by phosphorus deficiency in the body;
- potassium: participation in the regulation of vascular tone, the processes of conduction of nerve impulses and muscle contractions, activation of the muscular work of the heart and the action of a number of enzymes, regulation of the acid-base balance of the body;

Reviews about Kvadevite
If you believe the reviews, Kvadevit is prescribed mainly to elderly patients. It is characterized by a hypolipidemic effect, which consists in lowering cholesterol levels and a decrease in the atherogenic index in patients with coronary heart disease. The drug is also used to prevent aging. Buyers note the affordable price of Kvadevit in comparison with imported counterparts, but some of them complain about the too high frequency of administration - 3 times a day, since you can easily forget about taking the pill.
Many patients, including middle-aged ones, take the vitamin complex for prophylactic purposes and speak positively about it, speaking of an incredible increase in strength and strengthening of nails after a course of treatment. However, recently, vitamins Kvadevit have become less popular due to the limited content of minerals, since such preparations with the maximum content of useful trace elements and minerals have appeared on the market.
Price for Kvadevit in pharmacies
At the moment, the price of Kvadevit remains unknown, since it has been withdrawn from sale in pharmacy chains.
