Vitamin E is one of the most effective anti-oxidants, it inhibits the action of free radicals, thus preventing damage to cell membranes (it is important for the development of an organism, the normal function of the nervous and muscular systems), has a positive effect on fat metabolism, inhibit hemolysis (destruction) of red blood cells is a part of some enzymes and restores blood flow in small blood vessels, the permeability of the walls, increases the resistance of fabrics to the lack of oxygen (hypoxia).

Aevitum shown in many diseases, which are accompanied by a deficiency of vitamins A and E in its composition. It is also shown that when the body needs increased amounts of vitamins - a condition often accompanied by a variety of diseases.

Aevitum - a tool for treatment rather than for prophylaxis

The structure Aevitum include vitamins A and E at doses many times higher than preventative, so the drug should not be used just like that, without a doctor - it is intended only for treatment. Overdose Aevitum fraught with severe complications. Especially dangerous overdose of vitamin A Vitamin A: An important element of the health and beauty   (retinol), it can lead to both acute poisoning and chronic intoxication, the main manifestations of which are liver function abnormalities.

Action Aevitum made up of the actions of its individual components. Vitamin A is involved in the formation of visual pigments, provides for adaptation of eyes to light of varying intensity, the normal height of a man, as the state of the skin and its appendages - hair and nails.

Vitamin E protects unsaturated lipids (because they are unsaturated, they can join the free radicals caused by oxidation-reduction reactions) cell membranes from free radical oxidation.

The combination of vitamins A and E is ideal for the treatment of certain diseases - these vitamins are mutually reinforcing. In addition, they are both fat soluble and in violation of the gastrointestinal absorption will suffer both.

When the body lacks vitamins

A disadvantage vitaminoa manifested primarily in violation of twilight, that is, the ability of the eye to adapt to darkness, then there are other signs of eye damage. The next step - increased keratinization of the skin and mucous membranes, especially the mouth, lower respiratory tract and esophagus. Affected tissue endocrine glands (including sexual), reduced immunity - the ability to withstand the mucosal infectious factors.

Lack of vitamin E may manifest disease of the retina, visual disturbances, hemolytic anemia (destruction of red blood cells), disorders of muscle contraction, etc..

These symptoms may occur as with insufficient intake of vitamins A and E with food, and in violation of their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract as a result of diseases of the digestive system. By the malabsorption of fat soluble vitamins result in different fermentopathy (congenital and acquired diseases characterized by a deficiency or complete absence of a digestive enzyme), such as malabsorption, celiac disease Celiac disease - not quite intestinal pathology . A similar condition develops after complete removal of the stomach or a portion thereof, as well as in some diseases of the pancreas Diabetes and pancreas - the things you need to know   (e.g., proliferation of connective tissue therein to form small cysts) and ulcerative lesions of the intestines.

In all these cases will help supplementation with vitamin A and E in capsule form Aevitum. Take him inside, regardless of the meal one capsule a day for 20 to 40 days. These courses can be carried out twice a year.

When there are disturbances of vision

Lack of vitamins A and E certainly affects vision. Both vitamins are involved in the mechanism of view. Thus, vitamin A, retinal derivative is the basis of visual pigments, and vitamin E strengthens the walls of the blood vessels that feed of the eye, including the retina.

Therefore Aevitum Aevitum - for the treatment, rather than prevention   It is indicated for diseases such as day-blindness (night blindness - night blindness), xerophthalmia, Keratomalacia (high orogovevanie outer membranes of the eye), retinal disease. Assign Aevitum in this case, one capsule once or twice a day. The duration of treatment is determined by your doctor.

The assistance often chronically ill

Vitamins A and E are responsible for the state of immunity. For example, vitamin A is involved in the formation of local immunity of the mucous membranes - the ability to withstand a variety of infectious agents. Therefore Aevitum appointed as treatments for various acute infections, as well as long-term chronic infections occurring with frequent exacerbations. In all these cases appointed Aevitum standard course in the complex therapy.

Lack of vitamin A and vitamin E can promote the rapid formation of atherosclerotic and inflammatory (obliterating endarteritis) lesions of the peripheral blood vessels. Course assignment Aevitum can slow down this process.

Aevitum - is an effective drug which is not used for prophylaxis.
