Today in any pharmacy you can see a large selection of multivitamin preparations. And it is often difficult for the buyer to navigate through all their variety and make the right choice. Therefore, our help and recommendations in difficult situations will be quite appropriate.
Vitamins, trace elements and biologically active substances (BAS) – are catalysts of various metabolic processes in the body. If they are present in sufficient quantities, metabolism proceeds normally and without disruption. In turn, the lack of certain vitamins and trace elements leads to disruption of the natural work of the body.
In summer and fall, our body gets a lot of fresh plant food, it is saturated with vitamins, macro- and microelements. They are not only used in metabolism, but some of them are accumulated in the liver, forming a winter reserve. However, at the end of winter, it is depleted, because vitamins with food do not come enough. Thus, consumption prevails over intake. And at the very end of winter and at the beginning of spring there is a risk of hypovitaminosis or its extreme form – avitaminosis. Most of us notice some deterioration in our general health. Fatigue, sleepiness, irritability and other manifestations of depression, as well as brittle hair and flaky skin traditionally belong to the consequences of vitamin deficiency in the body.
Replacement therapy – taking multivitamin preparations – is the main method of treatment and prevention of spring vitamin deficiency.
Recently, a unique over-the-counter remedy Polijen by World Medicine has appeared in pharmacies. The drug is recommended as a dietary supplement as an additional source of essential amino acids, fat- and water-soluble vitamins, macro- and microelements, as well as other BAS.
Vitamin complex
Polijen contains an optimally selected complex consisting of 12 vitamins, 15 minerals (macro- and microelements) and 11 biologically active substances vital for normal metabolism.
It is known that with the exception of nicotinic acid, vitamins are not synthesized by the human body and come mainly with food.
1 capsule of Polijen contains all the vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the human body.
Since vitamins are involved in various biochemical and physiological processes of our body, Polijen has a regulating effect on them, thereby ensuring and supporting their natural course and normal development.
Mineral complex
Like vitamins, minerals are also involved in metabolic processes. They are found in the body in a certain ratio. A person needs macronutrients in large quantities, while microelements we need in small doses. In the composition of the preparation Polijen minerals necessary for normal metabolism are included taking into account these peculiarities.
The uniqueness of the drug – biologically active components
Polijen, unlike conventional vitamin and mineral complexes, contains, in addition to vitamins, micro- and macronutrients, more:
- bee products (royal jelly, plant pollen);
- plant extracts (ginseng extract, wheat germ oil, safflower oil);
