"Cardonate" - a drug that establishes the exchange of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. The tool is also effective in congenital malformations associated with the metabolism of fatty acids.

pharmachologic effect
The drug improves metabolism, has an antihypoxic effect, removes toxins from the body. The therapeutic effect is achieved due to the properties of the Cardonate components.
Carnitine, a component of Cardonate, is determined by the instructions for use as a cofactor involved in a large number of reactions. It contributes to the normalization of the metabolism of fatty acids and the elimination of products formed as a result of this exchange. It is this substance that provides the antihypoxic effect. Carnitine has a positive effect on performance and appetite, cellular immunity, the state of the heart and nervous system (peripheral, central), acting on the thyroid gland, it reduces its functional activity. Among the pronounced effects of the component are cardio, neuro- and hepatoprotective effects.
Lysine is an amino acid necessary for the normal development of bone tissue. It promotes mitosis of cells, ensures the normal course of spermatogenesis and ovogenesis.
The instruction presents the cobamamide of the “Cardonate” preparation as a substance that activates metabolic processes in the body involving carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is needed for the formation of red blood cells and some other important substances (methionine, creatine, nucleic acids, choline, labile methyl groups). The action of the component is characterized as anabolic. Cobamamide improves the functioning of the nervous system (peripheral, central) and the liver.
Cocarboxylase also regulates metabolism, promotes improved removal of the products of this process, positively affects trophic nerve tissue, the body's absorption of glucose. The cardioprotective effect of the Cardonate preparation is explained by the instructions for use by the presence of several components, one of which is cocarboxylase.
The action of pyridoxalphosphate is neuroprotective. It supports the nervous system, improves metabolism in the body, promotes enhanced elimination of toxins, helping the liver to fulfill its main function, improves the intake of glycogen in the tissues that make up the liver, accelerates the progress of neuromuscular processes, and has a good effect on performance.
Penetrating into the body, the capsules are rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract. The maximum concentration of their components is present in the blood on average 1.5 hours after taking the drug. The drug is excreted in the urine. The elimination half-life takes about 4-5 hours, and can occur faster or slower depending on the size of the dose.
