You can find the researches on the basis of which had been given such recommendations in the section «For specialists».

Scientific rationalizationfor ALFAVIT vitamin-mineral complexes

Why is it important to consider the recommendations of scientists in separate and combined intake of nutrients?

Medical studies show that the effectiveness of vitamin prophylaxis depends on the method of taking vitamins and minerals – together or separately. Some combinations of nutrients benefit when enter the body at the same time and some – apart.

The dozens of such recommendations are known. In particular, at the same time should be taken:

• Vitamins A, C and E – together they form a powerful antioxidant complex.
• Calcium and vitamin D₃ – because vitamin D₃ potentiates the absorption of calcium by bone tissue.
• Magnesium and vitamin B₆ – because vitamin B₆ facilitates the penetration of magnesium into cells.

The following materials are recommended to take with an interval of time:

• Vitamin B₁ and vitamin B₁₂ – because vitamin B₁₂ increases the possibility of allergic reaction to vitamin B₁.
• Vitamin B₁ and Vitamin B₆ - due to the fact that vitamin B₆ slows the transition of vitamin B₁ to a biologically active form.
• Iron and calcium, as calcium competes with iron for absorption.
  
  

How the scientific advices are accounted in ALFAVIT?

In ALFAVIT daily dose of vitamins and minerals is divided into three tablets. Substances that bring more benefits when enter the body at the same time are placed in one tablet, and those which joint reception is undesirable - in different.

Dosed separately, vitamins and minerals are assimilated better and never participate in unwanted interaction. Some examples of advantages of separated dosage are:

• Compared to some traditional formulations, ALFAVIT series in more efficient and allows to keep: 
  - 30 % more of vitamin B₁₂;
  - iron assimilation is twice higher;
  - increased assimilation of calcium.
• Synergy of some compounds’ action remains beneficial in terms of overall formulation efficacy. Some ingredients facilitate action of each others, for example:
  vitamin D support optimal assimilation and facilitates effects of calcium;
  - calcium supports vitamin B₁₂ assimilation; 
  - vitamin C restores antioxidant (protective) properties of vitamin E.
• Possibility of negative effects occurrence is minimal: 
  - oxidative reaction between vitamins C and B₁₂ prevents assimilation of the last not only as a part of vitamin supplements but also from the diet;
  - vitamin B₁ might cause allergic reaction that may be aggravated in presence of vitamin B₁₂.

Separate dose results in lower allergenic activity of formulation compounds and efficacy increased as much as 30 to 50 %! For example, the fact of increased iron assimilation from ALFAVIT formulations has been proven in studies* conducted in Central Research Institute of Gastroenterology.

What is the right way to take ALFAVIT?

In order to maximize the benefits of separated dose, take three tablets of a different color during the day with the time interval of four to six. Within this period of time all the ingredients in one tablet assimilate completely that prevents their unwanted interaction with compounds of the following one.

ALFAVIT – take your vitamins smart!
