Romanova Olga Viktorovna, senior nurse

All the most valuable and useful for proper growth and development, our kids get with food. At the age of rapid growth, up to 3 years, nutrition is especially important. However, not all parents know what proper nutrition is. What about vitamin nutrition?
We all know for sure that a lot of vitamins are found in fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, fruits, berries. But are only plant vitamins vital for children? Of course not!
Fat-soluble vitamins are found in animal products. I would like to talk about them.

Vitamin F

It is unnecessary to talk about the benefits of vitamins, but it is difficult to overestimate their importance. Vitamins ensure the maintenance of the body's vital functions - without them, metabolic processes will literally stop. A person should receive most of the vitamins with food, but even a full-fledged diet of a modern person is sometimes not able to fully satisfy the need for vitamins.

What are vitamins

Official documents of Rospotrebnadzor define vitamins as micronutrients that regulate metabolic processes and ensure the normal activity of enzymes (enzymes). Vitamins can attach to proteins and be part of enzymes as necessary elements. Another function of vitamins is the activation of enzymes. Many enzymes require catalysts to participate in biochemical processes, and these micronutrients act in their role. In the scientific literature, vitamins are often referred to as coenzymes or coenzymes. In most enzymatic processes, not one, but several vitamins are involved.

General primary prevention agent

Vitamins are able to increase the level of mental and physical performance, endurance and resistance of the body to the influence of adverse environmental factors, including infections and the effects of toxins. Consequently, vitamins are considered by modern nutriciology (the science of nutrition) as an important means of general primary prevention of diseases, increasing efficiency, and slowing down the aging process.

Vitamin exchange

An important condition for the fulfillment of their role by vitamins is the passage of all stages of their own metabolism: absorption in the intestine, delivery to tissues, transformation into active forms. All these processes occur with the participation of special proteins. Any failure in the biosynthesis of any protein involved in the exchange of one of the vitamins will lead to a violation of this exchange. The absorption of most vitamins is negatively affected by the use of nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol.

Types of vitamins

All vitamins are divided into two groups: fat-soluble and water-soluble.

• Fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins whose absorption and activity require the participation of lipids. Such vitamins have the ability to accumulate in the body - they are mainly deposited in the liver or in adipose tissue. These include vitamins A, D, E and K and beta-carotene.
• Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, so they must be obtained daily from food. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and B vitamins.

Fat soluble vitamins

Vitamin A
Vitamin A (retinol) performs an antioxidant function, is necessary for the normal functioning of the immune system, is responsible for night vision, the condition of the skin and mucous membranes.
The body receives this micronutrient from animal products: liver, fish oil, caviar, dairy products, eggs. If there is not enough vitamin A in food, the body can synthesize it from provitamin A (beta-carotene). Orange foods of plant origin are rich in beta-carotene: carrots, pumpkin, apricot, sea buckthorn, as well as broccoli, spinach, legumes.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is made up of five different compounds called pherols. All of them are involved in bone mineralization, protecting a person from caries, osteoporosis, etc. Sources of vitamin D are fish oil, eggs, and dairy products. Vitamin D can also be synthesized in the skin by exposure to sunlight.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect and is involved in the regulation of the reproductive system. The main sources of vitamin E are fish oil, liver, vegetable oils and legumes.

Vitamin K
Vitamin K regulates blood clotting and metabolic processes in bone tissue. Its sources are dairy products, olive oil, eggs, as well as spinach, cabbage and bran.

Water Soluble Vitamins

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the biologically active form of ascorbic acid. It performs antioxidant and immunomodulatory functions, improves hematopoiesis and iron absorption. It is the lack of vitamin C that is felt by the body primarily in the winter-spring season.
In the human body, this micronutrient is not synthesized, therefore, a complete diet should ensure its sufficient intake. Vitamin C is found in foods of plant origin: vegetables, fruits, berries, herbs. One of the best sources of this vitamin in winter is sauerkraut. Vitamin C is rapidly destroyed during storage, heat treatment, and freezing of foods.

B vitamins
B vitamins are involved in the activity of all body systems. Sources of these vitamins are yeast, liver, dairy products, legumes, cereals, eggs, spinach, nuts. As a rule, if there is one of the B vitamins in the product, the other vitamins of this group are also present in it.

B vitamins:

• vitamin B1 (thiamine) is involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism;
• vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is important for vision and skin;
• vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid) - a participant in protein metabolism and glucose synthesis;
• vitamin B4 (choline) is involved in fat metabolism and the activity of the nervous system;
• vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate) plays an important role in metabolic, hormonal and immune processes;
• vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is important for the functioning of the immune and nervous systems, is involved in the production of hemoglobin;
• vitamin B7 (biotin) - an active participant in metabolic processes;
• Vitamin B8 (inositol) is not considered a vitamin, but a vitamin-like substance. Inositol is synthesized by the body, is important for the nervous system and vision;
• vitamin B9 (folic acid) is responsible for the production and growth of new cells, is involved in the activities of the immune and circulatory systems;
• vitamin B10 (para-aminobenzoic acid) regulates intestinal microflora, improves lactation;
• vitamin B11 (L-carnitine) - a vitamin-like substance that is synthesized by the human body and is involved in metabolism, as well as in regeneration processes;
• vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is involved in metabolism and hematopoiesis.

The diet of a modern person is oversaturated with products that have passed
thermal and other processing, polished cereals and frozen vegetables,
low fat dairy products. All this leads to a lack of vitamins.
in these products. To fully provide the body with vitamins
it is necessary to consume raw vegetables and fruits, unpolished
cereals, wholemeal bread, etc.

How to take vitamins correctly

• It is recommended for almost everyone to take vitamin preparations prophylactically in the spring.
• You should not exceed the daily dose of vitamins, there will be no benefit from this. And an overdose of fat-soluble vitamins is dangerous to health.
• There is no need to take vitamins all the time. For a healthy person, prophylactic use of vitamins in the “two month later” regime is sufficient.
• In any case, before taking vitamin complexes or preparations containing individual vitamins, you should consult your doctor. Without special tests, the lack of certain vitamins cannot be reliably established.

Probably, if you conduct a survey of the population on the topic Do you think vitamins are necessary?, the answer will be unanimously positive. What do we know about these substances? Someone will say that they are found in fruits and vegetables, while someone has ideas about these substances necessary for life associated exclusively with jars of pills in a pharmacy.

Meanwhile, these are organic compounds of a complex chemical structure, produced mainly by plants, much less frequently by animals. Name "vitamins" derived from the Latin word Vita which means life. Already in the name we see that vitamins are simply necessary for the life of our body. Since ancient times, it has been noticed that even if a person's diet is filled with proteins, fats and carbohydrates, but there is no fresh plant food for a long time, a person begins to fall ill with severe chronic diseases.

For example, many people know the story about sailors who took with them a lot of canned and animal food, and neglected plant products. The lack of vitamin food led to the fact that after a while the crew of the sailors fell ill scurvy from which many died. Recall that scurvy is a disease that occurs in the absence of ascorbic acid in food, in which the body seems to crumble into pieces, because fragility of blood vessels, bone and cartilage tissue appears. Although vitamins are needed for our body in very small quantities, with a lack or complete absence of vitamins, it occurs accordingly. hypo- and avitaminosis.

It should also be noted that when using vitamins, too gotta be careful: high doses lead to hypervitaminosis, the development of severe chronic diseases. Below, let's look at the main vitamins and briefly describe what happens when they are deficient.

Vitamins are classified by solubility:

Vitamin E (tocopherol)

Contained in vegetable oils, germinated grains of cereals.

This vitamin affects the function of the gonads, and is also an antioxidant, slowing down the aging process. Applies with muscular dystrophy, myositis, skin diseases, menstrual disorders, sexual dysfunction in men, threatened miscarriage.

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol - D3, ergocalciferol - D2)

Vitamin D3 synthesized by human skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

Vitamin D2 found in milk, eggs, fish oil, cod liver, fatty fish.

This vitamin regulates calcium metabolism in bones. lack rickets develops.

Vitamin K (anti-hemorrhagic vitamin)

This vitamin contains green leafy vegetables, spinach, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, whole grain cereals.

Flaw of this vitamin occurs in some diseases of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, with malabsorption in the intestine.

Vitamin K participates in the process of blood clotting, so it apply with bleeding, after injuries and operations, with an overdose of drugs that reduce blood clotting.

Water Soluble Vitamins

Vitamin B1 (thiamine)

Contained in dry brewer's yeast, pork, wheat germ, oats, nuts (hazelnuts).

With hypovitaminosis B1 the nervous system is affected - polyneuritis, muscle weakness, neuralgia, sciatica.

In severe cases, with thiamine deficiency, Beri-Beri disease develops: paralysis, disorders of the cardiovascular system, edema.

In medicine, this vitamin applied with diseases of the peripheral nervous system (neuritis, neuralgia, radiculitis), myocardial dystrophy, with diseases of the liver, skin, intestinal atony.

The co-enzyme of vitamin B1 is cocarboxylase. This is a metabolic drug used in the complex therapy of diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular systems, etc.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)

This vitamin is rich in yeast extract, wheat germ, wheat bran, soybeans, broccoli, liver, egg yolk, cheese.

With hypovitaminosis there are problems in the mouth and diseases of the eyes. The tongue (glossitis) can become inflamed, angular stomatitis develops, as well as twilight vision is disturbed and diseases of the mucous membrane of the eyes occur.

Vitamin B3 (vitamin PP, nicotinic acid)

Found in green vegetables, nuts, whole grain cereals, yeast, meat, including chicken, liver, fish, milk, cheese.

With a lack vitamin disease develops Pellagra(The name of vitamin PP tells us about this - anti-pellagric vitamin).

The disease is manifested by diarrhea, dermatitis, glossitis, stomach pain, dementia.

Nicotinic acid apply with ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver diseases, spasms of the vessels of the brain, kidneys and extremities, atherosclerosis, in the complex treatment of diabetes mellitus.

When using the drug, you may experience redness of the face and upper body, allergic reactions. Similar in structure, the substance nicotinamide causes fewer complications.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)

Hypovitaminosis pyridoxine may be rare, tk. it is synthesized in the human intestine. In children, a decrease in vitamin B6 may manifest as dermatitis.

This vitamin applied in medicine for various diseases of the nervous system, as well as in the complex treatment of atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, toxicosis, air and sea sickness, skin diseases.

Pyridoxine will increase the acidity of the stomach, therefore contraindicated with gastric and duodenal ulcers.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

Contained in food of animal origin: liver, kidneys, caviar, eggs, cheese, milk, cottage cheese, meat, fish.

This vitamin is synthesized by our intestinal microflora.

It is a growth factor, necessary for normal hematopoiesis.

Applies with anemia, malignant anemia, dystrophy in newborns, radiation sickness, liver diseases, polyneuritis, radiculitis, migraine and other diseases.

Vitamin Bc (folic acid)

Synthesized by the intestinal microflora, found in fresh vegetables, liver and kidneys of animals.

Applies with anemia, leukopenia, chronic gastritis, intestinal tuberculosis, epilepsy.

This vitamin should be used by women before conception and throughout pregnancy, especially in its early stages.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Contained in citrus fruits, onions, rose hips, black currants, walnuts.

With beriberi disease develops scurvy, which is accompanied by rapid fatigue, a decrease in the body's resistance to infections, inflammation and bleeding of the gums, tooth loss, hemorrhages under the skin and muscles, fragility of cartilage and bones.

You can not use vitamin C in shock doses to stop colds in the initial stages, this can lead to acute pancreatitis. With prolonged use or the use of large doses, the function of the pancreas is impaired.

You can not take vitamin C with diabetes and thrombophlebitis.

Vitamin P (rutin, quercetin)

These are natural substances - bioflavonoids, which strengthen capillaries.

With them lack in the body, the permeability of blood vessels increases, they become brittle, and hemorrhages occur.

Vitamins in medicinal plants

There are no plants that do not contain vitamins. But for medical use, those plants are of interest, in which a significant amount of vitamins. Let's consider some of them.

MARIGOLD FLOWERS (Calendula flowers)

This plant contains a large amount of carotenoids (provitamin A).

Marigold flowers insist on a water bath and are used for ulcerative and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, used as a cholagogue, also used in gynecology for cervical erosion and colpitis (douching), in proctology (enemas).

For inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity, otitis media, wounds, tonsillitis, burns, calendula tincture is used.

GRASS

(Other plant names: swamp cudweed, toad grass).

This plant contains carotene, ascorbic acid, thiamine (vitamin B1). An infusion is prepared from the herb.

Used for hypertension, stomach ulcers and 12 duodenal ulcers, inflammation of the intestines. With peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, gastritis, cudweed infusion is prescribed, as a rule, in combination with other plants.

It is known that fresh blackcurrant berries have antidiarrheal effect, increase appetite, treat rheumatism. The leaves of blackcurrant also contain a lot of vitamin C, they are used in complex collections.

Where to get the right amount of vitamins?

If you want to enrich your diet with vitamin food, you must know what factors lead to destruction of vitamins .

• When food is stored in them, the amount of vitamins is significantly reduced, especially those that are easily oxidized (for example, ascorbic acid). If cut greens - dill, parsley, etc. - store for about 4-5 hours in the air, about 50% of vitamin C is destroyed in it. It is advisable to use fresh foods.
• Heat treatment also reduces the amount of vitamins in food from 25% to 90-100% (boiling milk, boiling vegetables and fruits).
• Another problem with the intake of vitamins from food is the use of highly refined foods (flour, white rice, sugar, vegetable oil, etc.). From these products, almost all vitamins are removed during processing.
• Canning vegetables also leads to the destruction of their vitamins. From year to year, the amount of vitamins in vegetables and fruits grown in agriculture is decreasing.
• Some vitamins in the process of cultivation simply disappear from plants (for example, vitamin E from peas, apples, parsley). Even sufficient consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits may not provide the body with enough vitamins.

What to do? You can buy vitamins at the pharmacy. Pharmaceutical production of vitamins most often consists in their chemical synthesis. Some experts say that such vitamins are absorbed much worse than those obtained from plant materials. There are opinions that synthetic vitamins and vitamin-mineral complexes are harmful to our body. However, clinically proven positive effects from the use of pharmaceutical vitamin preparations. But, of course, vitamins of natural origin, obtained from fresh products and plants, as well as dietary supplements (BAA), which are made from natural raw materials (by cryoprocessing), are preferable. It often happens that we do not care about our diet and consume a large amount of proteins and carbohydrates, but we simply forget about enriching our body with food containing vitamins.

Watch your diet and be healthy!

Vitamins are still one of the mysteries of nature, although much has been studied about them. But why do some of these substances form in the body themselves, while others can only get from outside? Why, without them, the metabolism is disturbed, and with their excess, it is disturbed even more? There are no clear answers to these questions yet. But it is known exactly where each of the vitamins contained in food performs its role.

Be careful with them

Synthetic vitamins are dangerous, and possibly even harmful, because they differ from natural ones in their spatial structure (isomerism).

Remember what is the danger of pharmacy vitamins, especially when they are overdosed. (SP - daily requirements for vitamins.)

A - can damage the bones and liver, cause hair loss, nausea, visual impairment. SP - from 0.5 to 2.5 mg.

B1 - headache, irritability, insomnia, arrhythmia. SP - 1.4-2.4 mg.

B2 - headache, irritability, insomnia, arrhythmia. SP - 2 mg.

B3 - impaired liver function. SP - 5-10 mg, after 40 years it still decreases.

B6 - in large doses damages peripheral nerves. SP - 2 mg.

B9 - skin rashes, impairs the absorption of zinc. SP - 200 mcg.

B12 - in large doses, it can disrupt liver and kidney function. SP - 2-5 mcg.

C - allergic manifestations, diarrhea. SP - 50-100 mg.

D - headache, irritability, fatigue, diarrhea, loss of appetite. SP - 2.5-10 mcg.

Pebbles in the bosom

Specialists of the Institute of Gerontology of Roszdrav found that improper intake of synthetic vitamins can cause the process of stone formation in the kidneys. The reason is that each person carries about 500 types of microorganisms - both beneficial and harmful. When harmful microbes in the genitourinary system suddenly begin to multiply, the salts contained in the urine fight against them. They neutralize microbes, turning them into crystals. And then they are simply excreted from the body with urine.

Multivitamins are the same salts, they also attack microbes, but not only them, but also inflamed or damaged cells in our body. But they cannot be “brought out” - this is how a crystallization center is formed in the kidney, from which the stone grows.

- These are one of the most famous and popular vitamin complexes. There are many combinations of them for different ages, for different purposes (preventive, curative and others), for certain types of activities (sports, study), for cosmetic purposes. Vitamins Alphabet have one distinctive feature that fundamentally distinguishes them from other vitamin complexes. This is the division of all vitamins and minerals into 3 groups according to the principle of compatibility and increase in their absorption and more efficient work.

Brief instruction

First of all, what indications for use:

various vitamin deficiencies, hypovitaminosis, the consequences of these conditions, during pregnancy, stress, if a person has to adhere to a special diet or has an unbalanced diet, just a lack of some substances due to various reasons (sports training, hard work, some diseases).

Also, increased doses of vitamin are used by people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases and poor absorption of substances. In addition, those who have been treated with antibiotics, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

When taking vitamin complexes, remember that here, like in many places, you should observe the measure and not drink vitamins in large doses - an overdose can happen very quickly and the consequences will not be long in coming!

How to use: three tablets of different colors should be taken one 3 times a day with an interval of 4-6 hours, best with meals. What color pill to take first does not matter.

You can take one tablet in the morning (for example, white), and in the evening two others (blue and pink), but the effect will be lower than from three times a day.

To replenish the necessary vitamins, 2-3 courses are usually required. The interval between courses is two weeks. The number of courses and the degree of hypovitaminosis of some useful elements is decided individually.

Such vitamins Alphabet as Mom's health, Diabetes, In the season of colds, In the season of colds for children can be taken only on the recommendation of a doctor (especially Mom's health) or with appropriate diseases.

Contraindications:

• allergy or sensitivity to the components of the vitamin complex;
• hypervitaminosis;
• thyrotoxicosis (the condition may worsen sharply);
• hyperthyroidism (can be taken only after consultation with an endocrinologist);
• pregnancy and lactation.

Vitamins Alphabet Composition

All vitamins and minerals (13 vitamins and 10 minerals) included in Alphabet vitamins are divided into 3 groups and are represented by three types of tablets: white, blue and pink. This is the classic version. Children's vitamins or for women over 50 will differ in composition.

Tablet number 1 (white)

Tablet number 2 (blue)

Tablet number 3 (pink)

* -% of the daily norm exceeding 100% is within the acceptable range and does not exceed the upper limit of consumption.

As you know, some vitamins are not compatible with each other: either they neutralize the action of each other, or one inhibits the action of the other. To prevent this from happening, they were divided into separate tablets, and the intake should also be separate, in order to achieve maximum efficiency. For example, B1 is not compatible with B6, but takes part in the absorption of iron. As you can see, these vitamins are diluted in different tablets, but B1 is in one tablet along with iron. Accordingly, two opponents - B1 and B6 will not meet each other, as they will be taken at different times and absorbed by the body to the maximum. As another example, vitamin C and B12 must be taken separately, since C leads to cyanocobalamin deficiency - as you can see here they are separated.

Vitamins Alphabet reviews

Mostly reviews are positive and neutral, but there are also negative ones. Basically, people were not satisfied with the side effects that appeared (allergies, rashes), a complex three-time intake, lack of results, unjustified expectations. Speaking objectively, for example, everything is clear with side effects, but one can argue with expectations or lack of results whether to consider this negative or not. As for vitamin complexes, many people have very high expectations about them and the expectation of incredible results, and when this does not happen, people immediately attribute everything to the inefficiency of the vitamins themselves, and not to their own delusions. So some of the negative reviews can be attributed to such misconceptions. Mostly people respond positively and Alphavit vitamin complexes helped them solve some health issues.
