Complivite Trimesterum: composition
All three drugs have the same composition of elements, but the dosage is calculated exactly as required by a certain trimester of pregnancy. One tablet contains the body's daily requirement for minerals and vitamins in a balanced combination. So, we will analyze in more detail what is included in one tablet and what effect each of the elements has on the body.
Retinol (Vitamin A) is indispensable for bone growth, provides normalization of productive function. Regulates the division and differentiation of the epithelium. Retinol takes part in the formation of the skeleton and organ of vision in the prenatal development.
A-tocopherol (vitamin E) - antioxidant effect. It inhibits the free oxidation of radicals, resists the formation of peroxides, which damage the cell membranes. Provides the fetus with normal development. The risk of increasing blood pressure in a woman during pregnancy is reduced.
Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is involved in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Reduces nerve excitations in synapses. The risk of congenital malformations in the fetus is reduced.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is involved in tissue respiration and the regulation of redox processes, in fat and protein metabolism, and in the synthesis of hemoglobin. The lack of this element during pregnancy can lead to such pathologies: to deformation of the limbs, to hydronephrosis, to splitting of the palate, to congenital heart defects.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is a metabolic participant. Provides the normal functioning of the peripheral and central nervous system. With toxicosis protects against nausea, urge to vomit. Promotes increased absorption of magnesium in the intestine. If contraceptives were previously taken, it replenishes the lost amount of pyridoxine.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C ) regulates redox processes. It takes part in tissue regeneration, blood coagulation, in carbohydrate metabolism, and increases resistance to infections. Vitamin C deficiency can cause pregnancy termination.
Vitamin PP (nicotinamide) - a participant in the metabolism of proteins, fats, purines, tissue respiration. It is necessary to reduce the risks of developing defects.
Folic acid is a participant in the synthesis of amino acids, RNA, DNA. It stimulates erythropoiesis. Early pregnancy reduces the risk of miscarriage. It prevents the development of fetal heart disease and nervous system, limb development.
Calcium pantothenate is an important role in metabolism, in carbohydrate, fat metabolism, and the synthesis of steroid hormones and acetylcholine. Regeneration processes are accelerated.
Cyanocobalomin (vitamin B12) is a participant in the processes necessary for DNA synthesis. A participant in the formation of myelin (a component of nerve fibers). Increases the ability to regenerate, resistance to erythrocyte hemolysis.
Colecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is a participant in calcium-phosphorus metabolism. Promotes the formation of teeth, skeleton, bone mineralization. Provides normal function of the parathyroid glands.
Rutin (rutoside ) - angioprotector: helps to reduce the rate of water filtration in capillaries. With venous insufficiency reduces edema of the lower extremities.
Lipoic (thioctic ) acid is a participant in energy metabolism in the body. Antioxidant, lipotropic effect, improves liver function and nutrition in nerve cells, affects cholesterol.
Lutein-carotenoid supports retinal function. Protects them from UV radiation, oxygen radicals in various radiation.
Iron is a participant in erythropoiesis, a component of hemoglobin. It transports oxygen to tissues. Protects the body from anemia.
Manganese - is involved in the metabolism of cells. Protects the body from peroxide radicals. If the balance of this element is disrupted, the processes of ossification of the fetus are disrupted, intrauterine growth is delayed and in the first year of life there is a lag in physical development.
Copper - helps the absorption of iron, the formation of blood cells and connective tissue. Deficiency leads to impaired breathing in the newborn.
Zinc is a participant in metabolism, stabilization of cell membranes. Member of various chemical processes. Immunomodulating effect. Zinc is a participant in cell differentiation. Deficiency of the element can lead to the birth of a small, immature fetus.
Magnesium - reduces the excitation of nerve cells. Participates in the formation of bone and muscle tissue, in the synthesis of proteins. Reduces the risk of intrauterine growth retardation. A pregnant woman does not allow an increase in uterine tone.
Calcium - forms bone tissue, controls blood coagulation, nerve conduction, muscle contractions, stabilization of cardiac activity.
Selenium - is present in every cell in the body. It shows antioxidant protection, helps the immune system.
Iodine - participates in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Normalizes thyroid function. Member of lipid and protein metabolism. Iodine deficiency for pregnant women is unacceptable. This leads to an early miscarriage. The processes of the formation of the thyroid gland, musculoskeletal system are disrupted, defects in the development of the brain and even intrauterine death of the fetus are possible.

Minerals are also represented in other forms.
