Neuromultivitis for children: instructions for use
Neuromultivitis refers to multivitamin preparations, since several vitamins important for the human body act as its basis.
This medicine is often used in adults with a lack of B vitamins or pathologies of the nervous system. But is it possible to give this medicine to children when it is justified and with what complexes of vitamins can it be replaced?
Release form and composition

Such vitamin compounds are supplemented with povidone, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose, and the shell of the drug is made of talc, hypromellose, macrogol and some other substances.
Operating principle
Since Neuromultivitis is a complex of several vitamins, its effect on the human body is due to the effects characteristic of each of the components of the tablets:
- Vitamin B1 extremely important for a variety of metabolic processes. In the body, it undergoes phosphorylation and becomes a coenzyme involved in various enzyme reactions (such a coenzyme is called cocarboxylase). Without a sufficient amount of such a substance, protein metabolism will be disrupted, as well as carbohydrate and fat metabolism. In addition, vitamin B1 is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses within synapses.
- Vitamin b6 there is also an important influence on the work of the nervous system - both the peripheral and its central part. After phosphorylation, pyridoxine becomes a coenzyme important for the metabolism of amino acids. Without his participation, the main enzymes that act in the nerve tissues will not function. In addition, this vitamin affects the formation of many mediators, including GABA, dopamine, histamine and adrenaline.
- Vitamin B12 important for blood formation processes and affects the maturation of red blood cells. In addition, this substance is involved in many biochemical processes important for life, in particular, in the metabolism of proteins, the formation of amino acids and nucleic acids. After conversion to coenzyme forms, cyanocobalamin affects cell growth and replication.
Due to such properties of its components, Neuromultivitis reception has a positive effect on all metabolic processes and the functioning of the nervous system.
This tool improves the flow of oxygen to tissues, helps to cope with increased loads and is involved in cellular metabolism.
