Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Pikovit Unique 3+ - chewable tablets containing 11 vitamins and 8 minerals without coloring agents, preservatives, artificial flavors or sweeteners, intended for children aged three years and older.
The effect of dietary supplements is due to the following properties of active ingredients:
- vitamin C - ensures the density of the vascular wall, strengthens the immune system, in case of viral infections it is the main participant in the formation of an adequate immune response;
- vitamins A and E - being natural antioxidants, they prevent free radical oxidation. Promote the strengthening of hair and nails, the formation of normal protective functions of the skin. The participation of vitamin A in the reactions of visual pigments on the retina ensures the normal perception of visual sensations;
- B vitamins - components for the formation of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, which ensure the conduction of nerve impulses in the central nervous system, including the peripheral parts;
- iron - an essential trace element for the formation of hemoglobin, provides oxygen transfer by erythrocytes;
- iodine is an important component for the formation of thyroid hormones, a lack of iodine in children can lead to a decrease in thyroid function. During the formation of mental abilities (children 4 years of age and older), iodine deficiency leads to impaired cognitive abilities of the child, causing a noticeable deterioration in memory, attention, learning ability;
- calcium and phosphorus - minerals necessary for bones, tooth enamel, and muscle function. The combination of ascorbic acid and calcium promotes the formation of intracomplex compounds (chelate complexes), which improve their absorption;
- selenium - has antioxidant activity, is part of glutathione peroxidase - an enzyme that prevents damage to the structure of nucleic acids in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It is necessary for protein synthesis and other fundamental biochemical processes in the body;
- magnesium is a mineral that ensures the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscle tissue. Magnesium is involved in the process of neuromuscular transmission and in the synthesis of many enzymes;
- copper - an essential trace element for the production of certain protein-enzymes, participates in the process of hematopoiesis, ensures the normal functioning of the immune system;
