Bad mood, loss of energy, depression - these are the same illnesses as, say, a cold, flu or stomach pain. We do not ignore the physical manifestations of disease, why are we so indifferent to the mental? Moreover, this problem can be solved quite simply by slightly adjusting your diet or "drinking" a complex of vitamins for energy. And even better - preventing the appearance of the disease and eliminating depression at the stage of harbingers.

Depression, chronic fatigue, loss of energy? The body needs help


Each of us periodically faces a completely inexplicable loss of taste for life.

Depression is not an autumn blues and a desire to listen to the sound of the rain, wrapped in a blanket and sipping cocoa. This is a serious mental disorder that we have traditionally partially ignored or equated with manifestations of laziness, bad mood or selfishness. In any case, the symptoms of depression are usually not considered a compelling enough reason for the actual treatment, they say, it will go away on its own. Moreover, it often happens that depression really goes away on its own. What is the reason?

Many probably noticed this feature: with the onset of the autumn-winter period, we often become apathetic, gloomy pessimists, prone to self-digging, self-flagellation and excessive anxiety. Moreover, in the rest of the year, we do not notice such metamorphoses. And so every year, over and over again. Is it related to the season? Answer: yes, there is a very direct connection.

This does not mean at all that in the warm season we are completely protected from such phenomena as depression, chronic emotional and physical fatigue and drowsiness. It's just that in winter the risk of "catching" these symptoms is much higher than in summer, and this is due, as a rule, to the lack of vitamins in our body - in other words, hypovitaminosis.

By the way, the lack of vitamins, which we used to call "vitamin deficiency", is actually called differently. Avitaminosis is a serious disease caused by a complete and prolonged absence of any vitamin in the body. In our latitudes, it is almost impossible to "earn" vitamin deficiency, unless it is caused by a dysfunction of the organism itself. For example, scurvy, known as a sailor's disease and occurring when vitamin C is completely absent from the diet, develops between 4 and 12 weeks. Lack of any vitamin in the body is called "hypovitaminosis".

Vitamins are organic compounds that the human body needs to function properly. Long-term lack of any vitamin in the human body kills. Literally. You cannot replace them with anything, and the body almost does not synthesize them, and they, in turn, help regulate metabolic processes in the body, since they are part of enzymes and hormones. Vitamins are thirteen substances, or rather groups of substances, which themselves are divided into two large subgroups - fat-soluble and water-soluble.

Fat-soluble vitamins that need fats for adsorption:

  1. Vitamins A (retinol);
  2. D (colecalciferol);
  3. E (tocopherol);
  4. K (phylloquinone);

Water-soluble vitamins are a broad group of B vitamins and ascorbic acid:

  1. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid);
  2. B1 (thiamine);
  3. B2 (riboflavin);
  4. B3 (niacin, or nicotinic acid, or vitamin PP);
  5. B5 (pantothenic acid);
  6. B6 (pyridoxine);
  7. B7 (biotin, sometimes called vitamin H);
  8. B9 (folate, or folic acid);
  9. B12 (cobalamin).

Unlike proteins, fats and carbohydrates, vitamins in themselves are not sources of energy, but they also support life in us, contributing to the most important processes and being irreplaceable microcomponents.

Therefore, if your mood suddenly changed, you felt weak, began to tire quickly, it became difficult for you to concentrate and you felt sad - this is an alarming bell. The fact that your arm, leg or stomach does not hurt does not mean that the disease is "fake" and nothing needs to be done about it. Mental pain is still pain, and if it hurts somewhere, there is a reason for it that needs to be eliminated.

Vitamins for activity and good mood


Our body always clearly signals a lack of a particular vitamin

The lack of which vitamins and microelements causes a decline in moral and physical strength? First of all, these are B vitamins and ascorbic acid.

Vitamins of group B are effective when taken in combination, since the body requires the intake of the entire group, and, as we remember, there are eight of them, and it is impossible to determine which shortage of them caused the symptoms at home. In addition, when leaving the autumn-winter period, the body, one way or another, feels the lack of most of them. Of course, we do not need all of them equally, but there is no need to fear an excess of B vitamins in the body, because water-soluble vitamins do not accumulate, but are excreted in the urine. From group B, we need thiamine, biotin, cobalamin, pyridoxine and nicotinic acid to improve mood and performance.

Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is also called the “pep vitamin,” and among other functions, it is responsible for the normal functioning of the nervous system. A person gets it mainly with plant foods and meat by-products.

By the way, a lack of thiamine, or vitamin B1, is common among people suffering from alcoholism. This is due, firstly, to the paucity of the diet and, secondly, to the fact that alcohol prevents the body from obtaining this vitamin from food.

Nicotinic acid, niacin, PP - these are all names for vitamin B3. Like B1, niacin regulates the functions of the nervous system and helps to obtain energy from food.

The main task of vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is to regulate metabolic processes in the body. It helps to effectively use glucose in the cell, regulates its amount in the blood, and it is glucose that is the main fuel for neurons and brain cells. Consequently, vitamin B6 improves memory, increases mental and physical performance, and improves mood.

Vitamin B6 can be obtained from the same foods that contain the rest of the B vitamins, so with a normal diet, you will not be deficient in this vitamin. In addition, it can be synthesized by lactic acid bacteria, so lovers of moldy cheeses also get it from this delicacy.

Biotin (vitamin B7), like pyridoxine, usually enters our body in sufficient quantities. At risk for its lack are only people who have been starving or have had an extremely poor diet for a long time and pregnant women. In addition to biotin supplied with food, our body, more precisely, a healthy intestinal microflora, synthesizes it in sufficient quantities.

However, if you have a crazy idea to feel the signs of a biotin deficiency, it is enough to eat two or three raw egg whites every day for several months, because they contain a substance that interacts with biotin and interferes with its absorption.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) differs in that neither animals nor plants can synthesize it. It is the only vitamin that bacteria produce. Its absorption by the body depends on many variables, for example, the required amount of gastric juice produced, so the easiest way to eliminate its lack is to take vitamin tablets or even inject it. Its lack in the body leads to a number of disorders - from visions to depression and dementia.

Since vitamin B12 is completely absent from plant foods, vegetarians and vegans are at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. As such, some countries add it to foods like breakfast cereals or energy bars, and recommend that people who do not eat animal products take vitamin supplements containing cyanocobalamin.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is perhaps the most "commercial" vitamin of all, because in its synthetic form it is produced in much larger quantities than other vitamins. It is also called the vitamin of youth and energy. Participates in the formation of serotonin, the so-called "hormone of happiness" and in the metabolism of iron. Vitamin C deficiency symptoms are lethargy and fatigue.

By the way, unlike the vast majority of animals, our body is not able to synthesize vitamin C on its own. Our company is made up of guinea pigs and some primates.

Table: Daily human need for vitamins

Vitamin Daily requirement
Vitamin A (retinol) 1.5-2.5 mg
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) 70-100 mg
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) 1.5-2.0 mg
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 2.5-3.5 mg
Vitamin B3 (PP, niacin, nicotinic acid) 15.0-25.0 mg
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) 5.0-15.0 mg
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 2.0-3.0 mg
Vitamin B7 (biotin) 0.15-0.50 mg
Vitamin B9 (folacin) 0.2-0.4 mg
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 2.0 μg
Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) 2.5-10 mcg
Vitamin E (tocopherol) 10.0–20.0 mg
Vitamin K (phylloquinone) 1.8-2.2 mg

What besides vitamins is needed for vivacity and good mood?

However, in addition to the lack of vitamins proper, other factors also affect our mood and performance. It's no secret that a lack of light is the cause of seasonal mood swings. A depressed state of the psyche and a tendency to depression is caused by a lack of serotonin in the body, because light, falling on the retina of the eye, sends a signal to the brain about the need to produce serotonin, which calms, relieves nervous tension, relaxes and gives a feeling of pleasure. And a short daylight hours does not allow serotonin to "work out", as a result, a person becomes angry, tense and gloomy.

Another negative consequence of short daylight hours is constant sleepiness. This is due to the production of the hormone melatonin, a regulator of circadian rhythms. An excess of light reduces its production, respectively, a person remains active and cannot sleep. With a lack of light, the concentration of melatonin in the body increases, and the person feels like going to bed, that's where constant drowsiness comes from.

With a lack of magnesium, the body's energy production decreases markedly. Fatigue and weakness become our constant companions. Magnesium is essential for the supply of energy to living cells in the body. The daily intake of magnesium is about 300 mg for women and 400 mg for men. Magnesium deficiency leads to insomnia and chronic fatigue. However, an excess of magnesium in the body has a number of negative consequences.

Signs of magnesium deficiency and excess - table

Signs of magnesium deficiency Signs of excess magnesium
insomnia, morning fatigue (even after a long sleep) drowsiness, lack of coordination and speech
irritability, increased sensitivity to noise, discontent lethargy
dizziness, loss of balance slowing heart rate
the appearance of flickering dots before the eyes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
changes in blood pressure, irregular heartbeat dry mucous membranes (especially the mouth)
muscle spasms, cramps, twitching
cramping stomach pains accompanied by diarrhea
hair loss, brittle nails
frequent headaches

What to drink to relieve fatigue and tone up


During the session, the most popular drug among the students is glycine.

Glycine is an amino acid that has antidepressant and mild tranquilizing effects, as well as improving memory and uplifting mood. This drug is prescribed if there is a need for increased mental performance, sleep disorders and in stressful situations - in a word, everything that the student feels during the session. Its attractiveness also lies in its relatively low price.

In addition to glycine, the following drugs are suitable for students and not only to improve mental performance and give vigor:

Vitamins in nature, or How to do without pills


The correct diet will allow you to do without vitamin supplements.

The fact that you have felt a lack of one or another vitamin in your body does not mean that you urgently need to run to the pharmacy and buy vitamin complexes and medications, because usually vitamins enter our body naturally, with food. Therefore, it is better to eat foods rich in those vitamins, the lack of which you feel.

In addition, it is important to remember that with proper and balanced nutrition, it is not so easy to get hypovitaminosis. To do this, you need to completely exclude any group of foods from the diet (we are, of course, talking about vegetarians, vegans, raw foodists, fruitorians and other lovers of food restrictions).

The main argument in favor of obtaining vitamins from food, and not from a can, is that natural and synthetic vitamins are not identical in composition, the vitamin formula for medicinal purposes is reproduced not completely, but only partially. For example, 7 isomers of ascorbic acid are converted into one in the laboratory. The same thing happens with other vitamins.

In addition, all vitamin complexes, regardless of their high cost, are absorbed by the body by no more than 10%. Therefore, if you do not feel the signs of hypovitaminosis and just want to "cheer up" the body a little, it makes sense to spend money, and, note, rather big, on a variety of diet, and not on vitamins of artificial origin.

Eating more turkey, bananas, chocolate, apples, fatty fish, plums and pineapples can boost the production of serotonin, the lack of which we feel especially acutely in the autumn-winter period. And also be in the sun more often, and in cloudy weather, the illumination on the street is different than in a stuffy room. In addition, it has been scientifically proven that strength training increases the level of the "happiness hormone" in our body, so go to the gym to improve your mood!

Vitamins for men and women: is there a difference

Many experts believe that the same set of multivitamins is suitable for men and women, and the division into "male" and "female" vitamin complexes is just a publicity stunt. Others argue that there is a difference, and it is explained by different physiological processes in the bodies of men and women.

The most significant difference between men and women lies in hormonal systems, more precisely, in sex hormones. In men, this hormone is testosterone, in women, estrogen.

Men have more muscles than women, therefore vitamin complexes for men usually take this feature into account, as well as greater mobility and a tendency to perform hard physical labor. In this regard, men need to get more vitamins that help restore muscle and cartilage tissue.

The leading positions in the list of "male" vitamins and microelements are vitamin E, essential fatty acids - oleic and linoleic, and zinc. It is they who ensure the production of the required amount of testosterone and semen. In combination with vitamins A and C, they also enhance immunity, protect the cardiovascular and genitourinary systems. And, of course, one cannot fail to mention the B vitamins, which carry out the synthesis of proteins and regulate metabolic and energy processes.

Multivitamins for women take into account the specifics of the work of their body. It is no secret that as a result of natural physiological processes, women regularly lose iron along with their blood, therefore, specialized vitamin complexes for women contain more iron and folic acid than men. Vitamin B9 maintains the correct hormonal balance, protects us from emotional changes, protects the nervous system. Another B vitamin, pyridoxine (B6), reduces the manifestations of PMS.

Vitamins for Better Health

Vitamins for strengthening the body are divided into two large groups:

  • Water soluble. They are required constantly, since excess substances are excreted along with waste products. The intestinal microflora synthesizes some vitamins of group B, K, but in small quantities.
  • Fat soluble. They have the ability to accumulate in the body. An excess of them is harmful, therefore, before taking monovitamins, it is worth taking tests and making sure that the body really lacks them.

The most important vitamins for health:

  • Vitamin A (retinol). This group also includes retinal, beta-carotene, retinoic acid, etc. Vitamins of this group are involved in protein synthesis, stimulate the brain and cardiovascular system, and form muscle mass. It improves cell regeneration, hair and skin condition, and improves immunity. Full growth and development is impossible without retinol. It is absorbed in combination with vitamin E. The daily dosage is 600-900 mcg. Food sources: meat, fish, eggs, carrots, pumpkin, apricots, peaches.
  • Vitamin E (tocopherol). It is necessary to strengthen the body's defenses, it is a natural antioxidant. Improves blood circulation, normalizes metabolic processes, cleanses the body of toxins. It normalizes blood circulation, improves the activity of the immune and circulatory systems, hormones, and regulates the reproductive system of the body. Promotes better assimilation of vitamin A. It is necessary to receive 10-20 mg per day. The main sources are greens, wheat germ, vegetable oils and eggs.
  • Vitamin D. Can be synthesized by the body when exposed to sunlight. Its main role is the normalization of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, bone mineralization, and improvement of the immune system. The average dosage per day is 2.5-3 mcg. Contained in fish, seafood, dairy products, grains.
  • Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Natural antioxidant, improves cell regeneration, enhances immunity, fights inflammation. Participates in redox reactions. Normalizes the function of the adrenal glands, is necessary for the cardiovascular system. Participates in the production of collagen and anti-stress hormones, removes toxins from the body. A healthy person needs to receive 70-100 mg of vitamin per day. Contained in rose hips, black currants, citrus fruits, bell peppers, carrots.
  • Vitamin K. Antihemorrhagic vitamin, the main function of which is the normalization of blood coagulation. It improves tissue regeneration, participates in the synthesis of osteocalcin, and promotes the absorption of calcium by the body. Regulates the amount of glucose in the blood, removes toxic substances. The norm of the vitamin is 65-80 mcg. Found in vegetable oils, green leafy vegetables, liver, eggs and grains.
  • Vitamin B. It would be more correct to say a group of vitamins. It is essential for the functioning of all systems. Vitamins practically do not linger in the body, replenishment is required every 8-10 hours. They improve the function of the nervous, cardiovascular, reproductive systems, participate in the synthesis of a number of hormones and nutrients. Main sources: meat, cereals, fish, offal, cereals. As well as legumes and green leafy vegetables.

Important! Pharmacy complexes for general strengthening of the body are already balanced, but before using them it is better to consult a doctor

Vitamin droppers


As a rule, vitamins for the prevention of diseases are prescribed in tablet or capsule form. The vitamin drip transports nutrients bypassing the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Orally administered drugs have low bioavailability. And intravenous injections allow vitamins to be transported directly into the blood.

Indications for vitamin injections:

  • Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that interfere with the natural absorption of vitamins from food.
  • Advanced age, severe exhaustion and loss of strength.
  • If it is necessary to strengthen the immune system in a short time (before the operation, during the rehabilitation period).
  • Intense physical activity (hard work, strength sports).
  • Diseases of internal organs that are associated with a large loss of energy - hepatitis, bronchial asthma, pneumonia, etc.
  • If it is not possible to give the patient pills (loss of consciousness, difficulty swallowing).

Typically, droppers are based on saline or glucose solution. Replenishment of nutritional deficiencies is performed quickly and accurately; side effects or overdose can be excluded.

In addition to the general strengthening effect, vitamin droppers can have a detoxifying, restorative, antianemic effect. In the digestive tract, part of the vitamins is lost due to acidic enzymes, while droppers retain all the nutrients.

In order to strengthen the body, it is advisable to pierce the dropper in courses. Most often they are prescribed in spring or autumn - periods when the body is most depleted and susceptible to attack by pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Review of pharmacy products


Pharmacy counters are replete with various names of vitamin and mineral complexes. They are designed to compensate for the lack of micronutrients and minerals in case of hypo- and avitaminosis. The most popular complexes are:

  • Monopreparations: contain 1-3 vitamins, aimed at replenishing the lack of certain substances in the body. For example: ascorutin, ascorbic acid, AEvit, tocopherol, etc.
  • Universal complexes: Vitrum, Duovit, Vitacap, Multitabs, Complivit, Alphabet, Centrum, Supradin, etc.
  • Complexes with directed action. They contain vitamins necessary to support a specific body system. For example, Doppelgerts Active - for the cardiovascular system, Vitrum Beauty - to normalize metabolic processes, improve the condition of the skin and hair, Kalcemin - to strengthen the musculoskeletal system.
  • Vitamins of different age categories. Many companies produce complexes that take into account the needs at a certain stage of life. The lines for children, juniors, adults, seniors are represented by the brands Vitrum, Supradin, MultiTabs, Solgar, Schonen, etc.

Not all people know how to take vitamins correctly. For tips on choosing medications and myths about taking them, see the helpful video below.

Atherosclerosis, varicose veins, mental impairment, heart problems - all this can be a consequence of a decrease in the tone of capillaries, veins and arteries. To prevent the development of serious complications, monitor the state of the circulatory system. Strengthening the walls of blood vessels is possible not only with medicines, but also with vitamins, proper nutrition, folk remedies and special gymnastics.

To avoid diseases - monitor the state of blood vessels

When you need vaso-strengthening drugs

Blockage of blood vessels with cholesterol plaques, a decrease in the elasticity and tone of the walls, and the fragility of veins develop gradually. For a long time, a person may not be aware of pathological disorders in the circulatory system.

The signal to strengthen blood vessels can be the following:

  • sudden getting out of bed are accompanied by dark spots or goosebumps;
  • frequent dizziness appeared for no apparent reason, occasionally accompanied by loss of consciousness;
  • poor reaction to hot weather and increased meteosensitivity;
  • aching pain in the joints appears, the fingers of the upper and lower extremities become cold;
  • regular jumps in pressure (decreases or increases), which are accompanied by an increased heart rate;
  • rapid fatigability and constant feeling of tiredness.

With frequent pressure drops, take vasoconstrictor drugs

There is no need to wait for complications of the pathological state of the circulatory system. It is important to start treatment as early as possible.

Effective means for strengthening blood vessels

The appearance of unpleasant symptoms that have not been observed before should prompt a person to see a doctor.

Usually, in such conditions, it is necessary to strengthen the vessels of the entire circulatory system:

  • capillaries of the nose, eyes;
  • vessels of the brain, heart;
  • capillaries on the face;
  • veins of the legs.

Strengthening the vessels of the whole body helps to restore the tone of the weakened walls, return them to their previous elasticity and normalize blood circulation.

Treatment of veins and capillaries is a long and painstaking process, which consists of several components:

  • drug therapy (pills, injections, external drugs);
  • taking vitamins;
  • gymnastics for blood vessels;
  • nutritional adjustments;
  • folk methods.
Only an integrated approach will thoroughly strengthen blood vessels and prevent heart and brain diseases.

Vaso-strengthening drugs

Venotonics for systemic and external use will help to increase the elasticity of the vascular walls, reduce their permeability and fragility.

What foods contain B vitamins

The vitamins (B group) consumed will provide natural support for bone and muscle health. The required amount of these vitamins allows gums to form naturally at a natural level and to strengthen teeth well.

For the prevention of dental diseases, create a suitable menu. Focusing on the identified symptoms of dental diseases and disorders, add the recommended vitamins and valuable microelements to your diet to strengthen the gums and teeth.

Why are vitamins so important for teeth and gums, and what are the consequences of a poor diet?

Let's talk about the importance of vitamins for strengthening teeth and gums for adults and children, and also list the popular names of tablets and products. Indeed, only on the basis of a correct and complete diet can one achieve high health indicators.

Not only the work of internal systems and organs depends on the availability of vitamins in our daily diet. Their deficiency also affects the condition of the teeth and gums. And if you ideally clean the oral cavity, visit the dentist, but there is not enough, for example, calcium, then hard tissues will still be destroyed.

Analyzing your diet

To understand why teeth are crumbling and what exactly your body needs, you should first analyze what you eat every day. After all, ordinary food is precisely responsible for the presence of nutrients on which the functioning of internal organs depends.

Since it is very important to get a variety of vitamins and minerals, and regularly, you need to learn how to correctly compose a balanced diet for the day. This is the only way to ensure that the gums do not bleed, the teeth do not decay or loosen, and the smile is snow-white.

Of course, one can simply buy the appropriate supplements at the pharmacy, which contain the daily amount of each micronutrient for a child or adult. Drinking them is quite simple, but nevertheless, doctors recommend that most of the required substances be obtained from fresh or cooked dishes.

Why are vitamins important?

Teeth are made up of bone tissue, as well as blood vessels and nerve endings. So that all metabolic processes in them take place properly, and the enamel protects the inside well enough from aggressive influences, you should also take care of good nutrition. The gums also require a daily internal replenishment of certain vitamins to remain elastic enough to hold each tooth in place.

With a lack of some important element, the state of the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity immediately deteriorates. So, inflammatory processes can intensify, chronic diseases worsen, periodontal disease or caries appear, teeth loosen or darken, and much more.

It should be understood that under certain life circumstances, the daily dose of each element must be increased. Therefore, manufacturers often produce drugs that meet certain needs of the body.

Particular attention should be paid to the issue of choosing vitamins for teeth during pregnancy. Indeed, in this difficult period for a woman, there is often a shortage of many of them. Also, for the formation and development of the fetus, the presence of all trace elements in the mother's diet is very important.

Where to begin?

So how do you decide which vitamins are needed for your teeth? Mandatory micronutrients that must be present in the daily diet of a person who is attentive to the health of the oral cavity are:

  • Calcium - its deficiency will immediately affect the condition of the enamel. Therefore, if you need to achieve its strengthening, then you should increase this component in the daily diet. It is the main building block for teeth. It is quickly washed out of the bones, so it needs to be constantly replenished with food or supplements. It is especially abundant in milk and fermented milk products (cottage cheese, kefir, cheese, sour cream).
  • Phosphorus - contributes to the proper formation and functioning of the entire skeletal system. And since teeth are made of hard tissues, their health directly depends on this microelement. Also, from the presence of phosphorus in the diet, a whiteness and a healthy shine of a smile is manifested. With its lack, the enamel immediately fades and it begins to deteriorate over time.
  • Vitamin D - is always absorbed only in combination with calcium, therefore it is recommended to take them together. This element helps to strengthen the teeth. It is most important in maintaining the volume of the alveolar tissue. It also affects the condition of the mucous membrane, preventing bleeding and inflammation. This vitamin is found in sea fish, eggs and liver, yeast, mushrooms and parsley.

This group has a complex effect on the entire human body. But let's clarify the main positive influence from the dental perspective:

  • determines the state of the skeletal system, strengthening hard tissues;
  • prevents loosening of teeth;
  • helps to form the mucous membrane, increasing its tone and elasticity;
  • normalizes the microflora in the mouth;
  • prevents bleeding.

Today, many different special complexes are provided in pharmacies that can fill the lack of certain substances in our body. Some of them are focused only on certain groups of vitamins or microelements, others are able to provide us with a complete set of all useful substances according to age or lifestyle. Let's list the best ones:

  1. Forever Kids is a complex for children based on the extract of healthy vegetables and fruits. Thus, it is possible to achieve the introduction of valuable products into the daily diet. Among them are cranberries, apples, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, etc.
  2. Calcium Osteoporosis is a special supplement consisting of a complex of important trace elements for the formation of healthy bone tissue - vitamins K, C, B6 and D3. They are the ones that most contribute to the strength and health of teeth.

  4. Duovit is recommended as a complex vitamin and mineral preparation for all people who experience particularly increased stress and even for pregnant women.

There is also green tea extract, which helps antiseptic treatment of the gums. Thanks to such components, Asepta quickly helps to eliminate inflammatory diseases, prevent the formation of caries and strengthen enamel.
  9. DentoVitus is another good complete complex that has a beneficial effect on the health of teeth and gums, and on all systems of the body as a whole. In addition to the main groups of vitamins, it contains calcium, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, fluorine and other trace elements.
  10. Calcium-D3 Nycomed is a special supplement for strengthening bone tissue. Of all the components, only calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 are found here. But they are the ones that are important for the formation and maintenance of healthy teeth.

Use of ascorbic acid

Many people believe that it is enough to replenish the body's strength with only vitamin C. This is partly correct, but if your teeth or other organs are malnourished, you need something else. This useful element helps to cope with such oral problems:

  • eliminates bleeding gums;
  • relieves inflammation;
  • prevents loosening and loss of teeth;
  • stops the development of infectious and ulcerative formations.

Equally important vitamins

And although the body as a whole needs all the nutrients that nutritionists talk about, they play a secondary role for dental health. And yet, some of them contribute to the better condition of hard tissues or mucous membranes:

  • Vitamin K - Found in potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, rose hips and green peas. Due to its action on the circulatory system, it can prevent bleeding of the gums.
  • Vitamin A - is responsible for various metabolic processes and contributes to the health of the mucous membranes. It is especially abundant in orange and yellow fruits or vegetables.
  • Vitamins of the PP group - stop various pathological and inflammatory processes in the tissues of our body. They can be found in yeast, liver, cereals, meat and legumes.
  • Vitamin E - is responsible for regeneration and recovery. Thanks to its normal amount in the daily diet, any wounds heal quickly and easily, the gums become resistant to various injuries, and their sensitivity decreases.

Disease as a vitamin deficiency ...

To quickly determine which trace element your body lacks in each of the cases, we offer a list of the main symptoms:

  • dry mouth and a burning sensation of the mucous membrane, which are accompanied by the destruction of hard tissues and the formation of carious cavities, indicates a lack of vitamin D;
  • in case of problems with the gums, which are manifested by poor wound healing, the formation of ulcers, inflammatory processes, a lack of vitamin A is found;
  • if dry mouth occurs, the tongue turns red, and taste is disturbed, then this indicates a low content of vitamin B12 in the daily diet;
  • in cases of increased bleeding of the gums and the simultaneous appearance of tooth mobility, an insufficient amount of ascorbic acid can be suspected;
  • increased loosening of units indicates a lack of vitamin B6;
  • if among the symptoms there is a burning sensation, dryness of the mucous membrane, painful sensations of the tongue and constantly want to drink, then this indicates the need to increase the intake of vitamin B1;
  • wounds in the corners of the lips, ulcers on the mucous membrane, inflammation of the gums indicate problems with vitamin B2;
  • if only increased bleeding was found without other unpleasant symptoms, then this may indicate a lack of vitamin K;
  • with poor healing of the mucous membrane, its increased sensitivity and the formation of various wounds, it is worth increasing the intake of vitamin E;
  • when cracks on the lips are accompanied by bad breath, a dark coating on the tongue and stomatitis, this is an indicator of a deficiency of PP vitamins;
  • simultaneous problems with the gums and frequent infectious diseases of the mucous membrane indicate the need to increase the daily dose of vitamin B9.
