Constant stress at work, disturbances in diet and sleep, and the influenza virus on your feet.
And here is the result: even a healthy person begins to feel that it is time to help his own body be healthy. Of course, significantly influencing the working day, completely getting rid of overload and stress, protecting yourself and your loved ones from all diseases is an unrealistic task, but it is possible to reduce the influence of these negative factors on our lives.
One way to do this is to take multivitamin complexes , which will become an additional source of many essential nutrients.

Reviews and impressions of consumers
Despite its purely vitamin composition (the drug does not contain micro- and macroelements), Gendevit dragees are very popular among both patients and doctors.
First of all, this is due to the availability of this multivitamin preparation.
An important role is also played by the relative safety of taking Gendevit compared to multicomponent complexes of vitamins and minerals.
The selection and dosage of active ingredients make this remedy almost universal: it is used to prevent vitamin deficiency in children, adults, pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Another advantage noted by mothers of children who are prescribed multivitamins is that Gendevit is not like a medicine.
Children are usually not very willing to take any pills, reacting to the taste and appearance of the drugs. Gendevit dragees do not cause a reaction of rejection in them, because in taste and appearance they are similar to ordinary sweet and sour candies.
At the same time, mothers say that “sweets” are too large for preschool children, because they should still be swallowed with water, and not chewed.
Patients taking this multivitamin preparation note an improvement in complexion, condition of hair, nails and skin , and overall well-being. Increases immunity and performance.
The limitation of the composition exclusively to a set of 11 most important vitamins is considered both an advantage and a disadvantage of the drug.
On the one hand, this allows you to avoid the unpredictable effect of taking a “vitamin-macro-micro” cocktail, on the other hand, the missing elements have to be taken additionally, taking into account their interaction with the components of Gendevit.

“On the advice of a gynecologist, during my first pregnancy I took Gendevit from the 20th week, until the birth and for another month after. True, there was still not enough calcium, and then the teeth had to be treated for a long time. The most remarkable thing is that my body, which completely refused to drink starch, gladly ate a sweet and sour vitamin with the taste of childhood.”
