Description
MAIN INDICATIONS
Adequate and properly balanced multivitamins are required not only to maintain good health but also to meet the specific nutritional needs of growth and development during childhood:
- Vitamin A is an essential component of many important and diverse biological functions, including reproduction, embryonic development, cell differentiation, growth, immunity, and vision;
- B vitamins play important and closely interrelated roles in cellular functioning and play a myriad of cofactor roles in human metabolism, acting as coenzymes in a large number of catabolic and anabolic enzymatic reactions. Given the importance of B vitamins in neurodevelopment and nervous system functioning, B vitamin deficiency is a major cause of neurological impairment and disability worldwide. Adequate levels of all members of the B vitamins are essential for optimal physiological and neurological functioning;
- Vitamin C is an essential human micronutrient that, in addition to being a potent antioxidant protecting the body from endogenous and exogenous oxidative challenges, is also a cofactor for a range of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes and likely plays a key role in its immune-modulating effects;
- Vitamin D is an important nutrient that helps all of the body’s major systems. Severe vitamin D deficiency may lead to rickets in infants or children and osteomalacia in adults, and subclinical vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent and is associated with osteoporosis and a higher incidence of falls or fractures;
- Vitamin E functions as an antioxidant with activity in scavenging fat peroxide radicals and protecting cell membranes. Modulation of immune function by vitamin E also has clinical relevance as it affects host susceptibility to infectious diseases such as respiratory infections in addition to allergic diseases such as asthma;
- Vitamin K is required for normal coagulation because several proteins in the coagulation cascade are vitamin K-dependent. And other tissues, such as cartilage, bone, and vascular tissue, have also been found to contain other vitamin K-dependent proteins, suggesting that vitamin K is involved in multiple aspects of human health and disease.
