Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Taufon Tabs Lutein is a combined vitamin and mineral preparation for the prevention and treatment of visual impairment, including those caused by increased visual stress. It contains a balanced complex of vitamins, microelements and plant carotenoids, which have an ophthalmoprotective effect. The use of production technology special for vitamin preparations ensures their compatibility in 1 tablet.
The mechanism of action of Taufon Tabs Lutein is due to the following properties of its components:
- Vitamin A: retinol is part of the visual pigment rhodopsin, so its sufficient content in the body is necessary to maintain normal visual function. It ensures the eye's perception of light and the normal functioning of the visual analyzer. Shows effectiveness in hemeralopia (night blindness), pathologies of the retina and cornea. An important component in the processes of regeneration of the skin and its mucous membranes;
- vitamin B1: thiamine is a necessary component in the process of transmitting impulses along nerve fibers, to coordinate the functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems. Ensures normal energy metabolism;
- Vitamin B2: Riboflavin is essential for maintaining normal visual function. An active participant in metabolic processes (carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism), the synthesis of hemoglobin and erythropoietin;
- Vitamin B6: as a coenzyme, pyridoxine is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. Promotes the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system;
- Vitamin B9: has an antianemic effect. In the form of a coenzyme, folic acid acts as an active participant in all metabolic processes, without which the synthesis of nucleic acids is impossible;
- Vitamin B12: is an important component in the process of hematopoiesis and normal growth of epithelial cells. Cyanocobalamin is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides and is necessary for the synthesis of myelin and folic acid metabolism;
- Vitamin C: ascorbic acid, a leading component of the body's antioxidant system. It plays an important role in maintaining the elasticity of capillaries, regulates their permeability and tissue regeneration, blood clotting, the formation of steroid hormones and collagen synthesis. Activates the activity of the endocrine glands. Having a stimulating effect on the body as a whole, vitamin C increases its resistance to infections and harmful environmental influences, enhances adaptive capabilities;
- vitamin E: tocopherol acetate, a powerful antioxidant, ensures the maintenance of a stable level of red blood cells, has a positive effect on the functioning of nervous and muscle tissue, gonads, and the endocrine system. By participating in the processes of tissue respiration, it slows down the aging of body tissues;
- Vitamin P or rutin: has an antioxidant effect. By participating in redox processes, it prevents the oxidation of ascorbic acid and promotes its deposition in tissues. Rutoside helps strengthen the walls of capillaries and regulates their permeability. Strengthens the walls of blood vessels, relieves swelling and inflammation;
- lutein and zeaxanthin: yellow pigments are carotenoids that are necessary for the retina of the eye to function properly. Protects the eye from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. They are part of the components of the retinal antioxidant system, which is one of the most important factors in protecting the eye. Lutein and zeaxanthin, found in the lens and retina, provide cell photoreceptors with protection from oxygen radicals that appear as a result of the adverse effects of radiation of various origins on the eye. With a low level of lutein and zeaxanthin in the tissues of the eye, the ability of the eye to withstand adverse factors, including computer radiation and prolonged visual stress, weakens;
- Selenium: a natural mineral whose antioxidant effect, when combined with vitamins A, E and C, is most pronounced. Helps increase immunity and adaptive abilities of the body under the influence of adverse factors (including stress, environmental pollution, smoking);
- copper: being a catalyst for many biochemical reactions, it plays an important role in the process of hematopoiesis and participates in the synthesis of melanin. Necessary in the body for the formation of collagen and elastin, an important component of iron metabolic processes;
- zinc: prevents the development of hemeralopia, promotes the utilization of vitamin A by the retina. Its deficiency increases the risk of decreased color vision, development of retrobulbar neuritis, blepharitis, and cataracts. Zinc is necessary for the synthesis of insulin and gonadal hormones, and the normal activity of lymphoid tissue.
Taking Taufon Tabs Lutein has a general strengthening effect, ensuring the maintenance of optimal functioning of the body.
