Vitamins "Revit" for children: instructions for use

Vitamins are necessary for a person to maintain health. It is especially important that children receive them in the right quantities, since the deficit is fraught with the development of various diseases. The optimal composition contains multivitamin complexes, including “Revit”, which is familiar from childhood.

Nutrition plays an important role in the functioning of the human body. Modern science knows that not all the elements that provide vital activity are produced by the body itself: these include only some B vitamins and vitamin D.

But we need proteins, fats, carbohydrates, microelements and vitamins that play an important role in metabolism or are a building material for blood cells, internal organs, and hormone synthesis.

A special role belongs to vitamins, and Some of them need a growing children's organism even more than an adult. For example, vitamin A is involved in the formation of the skeleton of a child, and B8, which is called the vitamin of adolescence, is necessary for the normal development of the spinal cord.

The main source of vitamins is nutrition. The same vitamin A is found in carrots, sorrel, spinach, celery. But, first of all, these are seasonal vegetables, and during long-term storage, their vitamin content decreases. Secondly, not all children love spinach.

In addition, vitamins are destroyed during the heat treatment of food. As a result, it is almost impossible to trace the dose of vitamins a child received, as well as to feed him with the right amount of carrots.

As a result, the child loses vitamins, but they are consumed continuously, which leads to the onset of beriberi. So called lack of vitamins in the body. The consequences of this condition the child often feels all his life.

To help modern parents come multivitamin complexes which have a number of advantages:

• ease of admission;
• taste that children like;
• exactly known content of vitamins.

However, multivitamin complexes did not appear today or even yesterday. Vitamins, first synthesized in the first half of the XX century, quickly gained popularity. Doctors prescribed vitamins for various diseases caused by their lack, and received good results. For the discovery of vitamin K, which affects blood clotting, biochemist Henrik Dam even received the Nobel Prize.

About 12 vitamins have an important effect on the human body; therefore, the pharmaceutical industry produces a large number of drugs under various trademarks, where vitamins are combined with each other and with various trace elements. Their effectiveness is different.

In the Russian market one of the most popular is the multivitamin complex "Revit", which contains a combination of 4 vitamins: A, B1, B2 and C. These vitamins are the most important for humans and are constantly consumed in the process of life.

For example, B vitamins are involved in the metabolism and synthesis of certain hormones, increase the protective functions of the body.
