“Antioxicaps with selenium” is an innovative vitamin-mineral preparation that is widely used in everyday medical practice. The specified tool has immunomodulating and antioxidant properties. Vitamins "Antioxycaps with selenium" are produced by the manufacturer in the form of capsules. The components of the drug determine its effect on the body.
Composition and form of release
Many readers are interested in what is "Antioxicaps with selenium": what is it for and how to take it. We will answer all these questions a little later. To begin with, we will deal with the form of the drug and its chemical composition. So, the drug is available in the form of red gelatin capsules. The composition of the medication includes bioactive and auxiliary substances:
- β-carotene (precursor of vitamin A);
- yeast selenium;
- α-tocopherol acetate;
- ascorbate;
- sunflower oil;
- purified lecithin;
- beeswax.
Capsules "Antioxycaps with selenium" are packed in contour boxes, which are placed in cardboard boxes. The specified tool can be purchased at any pharmacy kiosk. The medicine is dispensed without a prescription.
Pharmacokinetics
The effect of the vitamin-mineral preparation “Antioxicaps with selenium” and zinc is the combined effect of all its ingredients, so kinetic studies are not possible. At the same time, it is impossible to trace the effect of all components of the drug using biological studies or markers.
pharmachologic effect
A high therapeutic effect of the drug is achieved due to the complex additive effect of vitamins and selenium on the activity of enzymes of the antioxidant system.
β-carotene
The presented substance mitigates the harmful effects of environmental factors (chemical and radioactive contamination, electromagnetic radiation), exhibits anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating and antioxidant effects. Beta-carotene is an adaptogen, that is, a substance that increases the adaptive capabilities and resistance of an organism to stressful situations, protects cell structures from the destructive effects of free radicals (nitrogen dioxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, etc.) in huge quantities when exposed to adverse endogenous and exogenous factors. β-Carotene in the human body, under the influence of carotinase, is split into two retinol molecules, therefore it is also called the precursor of vitamin A.
Ascorbic acid
Ascorbate activates protein and carbohydrate metabolism, increases blood coagulability, regulates oxidative and reduction processes in the body, enhances tissue regeneration, participates in the biosynthesis of connective tissue proteins (collagen, procollagen) and steroid hormones. Vitamin C affects the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and macrophages. In addition, ascorbic acid takes part in interferon biosynthesis, enhances leukocyte chemotaxis, protects hemoglobin from oxidation, maintains an iron pool in the body, and optimizes blood cholesterol.
α-tocopherol acetate
Vitamin E is a universal protector of biomembranes from oxidative damage, protects cells from peroxide destruction. Tocopherol regulates the synthesis of scleroprotenoids, activates cell proliferation, and optimizes the structure and functions of cell membranes of epithelial cells, red blood cells, endotheliocytes and enterocytes. It stimulates spermatogenesis, the synthesis of gonadotropins, the development of a child's place - the placenta. Tocopherol acetate (together with ascorbic acid) promotes the inclusion of Se in the active center of glutathione peroxysase, thereby activating an enzymatic antioxidant defense.
Selenium
Se is a trace element that is part of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase. The chemical element enhances the action of vitamins with antioxidant properties. It stimulates immunogenesis, in particular the formation of antibodies, takes part as an antioxidant in redox processes, cell respiration, and the synthesis of specific proteins. Deficiency of selenium in the human body causes necrotic degeneration in the tissues of the liver, kidneys and pancreas. In addition to the listed properties, selenium also exhibits anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic effects.

Types of "Antioxycaps"
One capsule of “Antioxycaps with Zinc” contains 10 mg of ZnO (zinc oxide), which determines the additional properties of this drug. Zinc is a trace element involved in bone formation, as well as the metabolism of nucleic acids and hormones. In reviews of the Antioxicaps drug, some patients comment on the effectiveness of medicines containing iodine and iron. “Antioxycaps with iron” activates blood formation processes, enhances the synthesis of chromoproteins (myoglobin, hemoglobin). “Antioxicapses with iodine” affects the metabolism of substances, optimizes the morphofunctional state of the thyroid gland, enhances the processes of dissimilation. The appropriateness of the use of a particular medication should be determined by the attending physician.
Interaction with other medicines
Tetracycline antibiotics, corticosteroids, as well as ethyl alcohol and ethanol-containing drugs, when used together, reduce the therapeutic effect of provitamin A (beta-carotene).
α-tocopherol acetate can increase the effectiveness of anticonvulsants in patients with epilepsy with high blood levels of lipid peroxidation products (lipid peroxidation), as well as retinol and cholecalciferol.
The use of oral contraceptives reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid in the small intestine. Vitamin C improves iron adsorption, increases the risk of critalluria during treatment with salicylates (Aspirin, Acylpyrine, Bufferin, Taspir) and short-acting sulfonamides (Sulfadimidinomo, Sulfanilamidomo, Sulfaetidol, Sulfatiazol )
Overdose
Currently, cases of overdose of "Antioxycaps" have not been reported. In case of accidental overdose, immediate medical attention is indicated.
