Vitamins

No one doubts the most important role of immunity for humans. But the immune system is capable of qualitatively protecting the body only when vitamins with calcium, magnesium and zinc are present in sufficient quantities - minerals that catalyze all basic biochemical processes.
Why do our bodies need these minerals?
Doctors insist that this multivitamin complex is needed during a diet, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, problems with the digestive system, excessive sweating. However, each mineral individually fulfills its role.
Zn ++
Zinc is found in the body in very small quantities, but it is distributed in almost all tissues and organs.
Most of all it is in muscles and osteocytes, sperm and pancreas, in the small intestine and kidneys.
Zinc is a component of 80 enzymes, including the pancreatic hormone. An adult needs about 15 mg of Zn ++ per day.
The functions of zinc are large:
- control of biosynthesis of almost all biologically active substances: nucleic acids, proteins, fats, sugars and their derivatives;
- tracking the permeability of cell membranes;
- participation in the formation of the antioxidant system.
Ca ++
This is an intracellular cation, without which the formation of bone tissue is impossible, and therefore movement.
Calcium is responsible for:
- construction of the musculoskeletal system;
- the formation of teeth;
- conduction of contraction impulses into the muscles of each body system and their relaxation after the work performed;
- regulation of vascular tone;
- the work of the blood coagulation system;
- balances the excitability of neurocytes.
The body is so arranged that every minute it conducts an internal screening of the calcium content in the blood. This is due to the fact that both an increase and a decrease in this mineral is fraught with negative consequences. Dynamic balance helps to maintain the digestive system, bone cells, blood, kidneys.
An ordinary person needs a little more than a gram of calcium per day.
This norm enters the body with food, which include:
- all dairy products;
- eggs;
- cartilage of animal by-products;
- soft bones of sea fish;
- lettuce and other leafy green vegetables.
Pregnant women need 1.5 times more calcium. It should be borne in mind that the mineral entering the body is metabolized into a special molecular form in order to freely enter the bloodstream. It is absorbed better in combination with vitamins D3 and D2, phosphorus and iron. Phytic acid and oxalates inhibit this process.
Mg ++
Another essential trace element necessary for normal life. It is also found most of all in bones and muscles. It needs a little less than a gram per day.
Magnesium is involved in:
- contraction of smooth and skeletal muscles;
- control over the balance of processes of inhibition and excitation in the central nervous system;
- normalization of the functioning of the respiratory center in the brain.
You can get the required amount of the mineral with the following products:
- all cereals, cereals;
- legumes;
- sea fish;
- lettuce leaves;
- spinach.
Vitamins with these elements
Taking vitamins is caused by alarming symptoms that everyone can notice on their own. An incomprehensible decrease in the sense of smell, stratification of nails, brittle hair, excessive fatigue, delayed speech, tremors of the hands - all these are the “bells” of vitamin deficiency.
To solve these problems, pharmacologists have developed special multivitamin complexes, which are based on vitamins with calcium, zinc and magnesium.
Since these minerals are most of all deposited in bones and muscles, multivitamins are especially important for athletes who experience excessive physical activity and need a constant balance of trace elements in the body. The most popular are presented in the table.
