Vitamins are necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, the formation of energy reserves, the metabolism of lipids, nucleic acids and proteins, as well as for the synthesis of collagen and neurotransmitters. In addition to participating in basic metabolic reactions, vitamins take part in the regulation and coordination of metabolic processes. Vitamins are necessary for bone growth, wound healing, maintaining normal vascular condition, microsomal drug metabolism and detoxification, immune status, and tissue development and differentiation.
With the exception of the known consequences of acute vitamin deficiency, a growing body exhibits a certain need for vitamins, which makes it possible to prevent diseases and maintain mental and physical condition at a high level. Vitamin deficiency is observed in the following cases:
- with increased need (period of growth, pregnancy, breastfeeding, in old age, during recovery, treatment with antibiotics and chemotherapy);
- with reduced consumption (weight loss and other unbalanced diets, in old age, gastrointestinal diseases).
In these conditions, there is rarely a deficiency of only one of the vitamins. In addition, the supply of the most common minerals and rare elements is disrupted. The drug Supradin was created as a complete multivitamin complex that helps prevent common vitamin deficiencies and allows for their treatment.

- calciferol;
- vitamin C;
- antihemorrhagic vitamin;
- vitamin P;
- calcium;

One tablet contains the daily requirement of essential vitamins and minerals to ensure the normal functioning of the entire body. "Vitrum" increases resistance to various viruses and infections, and is a barrier against negative external factors. In addition, the drug is prescribed to patients with poor nutrition and frequent illnesses.
Thanks to the vitamin D3 included in the complex, calcium absorption and phosphorus absorption are enhanced. With a lack of this microelement in people, bones become brittle, the nail plate becomes soft, and hair falls out.
Folic acid, which is part of vitamins, activates the process of maturation of red blood cells and takes an active part in the process of combining amino acids. A deficiency of this microelement leads to impaired absorption of iron and hypoxia of organs and tissues. Folic acid deficiency in a pregnant woman causes the formation of severe defects in the fetus. Calcium, which is included in the composition, takes an active part in the formation of bone tissue, increases the contractility of the heart muscle, and enhances blood clotting. Contraindications for use are the presence of the following conditions:
- tuberculosis;
- thrombophlebitis;
- children under 12 years old;
- liver stone disease.
Mode of application:
According to the instructions for Vitrum vitamins, it is recommended to take one tablet once a day. The drug must be taken whole, without chewing. The duration of therapy is 1 month.
