The pharmacological activity of the antioxidant with zinc is due to the complex action of the vitamins contained in it: ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol acetate, beta-carotene and microelement of zinc.
Ascorbic acid participates in the regulation of oxidation-reduction processes in the body, activates carbohydrate-protein metabolism, increases cholesterol metabolism. increases blood coagulability, enhances tissue regeneration, synthesis of steroid hormones, collagen and procollagen. It increases the adaptive capacity of the body and enhances its resistance to infections.
Alpha-tocopherol acetate inhibits the oxidation of fats in the body and the formation of toxic peroxides from them, stabilizing the strength of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. It normalizes the structure and function of erythrocyte membranes. Tocopherol is involved in biosynthesis of collagen, heme and proteins, activates cell proliferation, the function of tissue respiration and other important processes of cellular metabolism.
Betacarotene has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects due to its ability to bind the active oxygen and, thus, protect cellular structures from destruction by free radicals formed in large quantities under the influence of unfavorable factors of the environment or in the development of pathological processes in the body.
Zinc promotes better absorption and action of B vitamins, is an integral part of pancreatic juice, participates in endocrine regulation, the formation of mental reactions, the formation of a number of hormones, in tons, and sexual. He also participates in biochemical reactions of the body, in the process of hematopoiesis. Zinc is a part of enzymes that protect and stabilize cell membranes, participate in the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as in the interaction of immunocompetent cells.
