Currently, modern man is experiencing a lack of any vitamins, including vitamin A and E. This, of course, affects his well-being. You can prevent hypovitaminosis and related diseases by starting to take vitamin complexes. Aevit is one of them. What this drug is prescribed for will be discussed in the article.
What is aevit: composition, forms
This medicine is based on fat-soluble vitamins: A (retinol) and E (tocopherol).
The drug is produced in several dosage forms:
- gelatin capsules for oral administration: yellow or reddish in color. Each contains 100 thousand IU of retinol palmitate and 100 mg of tocopherol.
- injection solution - oily liquid in ampoules: 100 mg of tocopherol and 35 mg of retinol per 1 ml;
- nourishing cream Aevit: in bottles of 50 ml.
In addition to active ingredients, Aevit contains a fat base and stabilizers.
Benefits of Vitamin E for Men
Common to men and women, the beneficial quality of tocopherol is the ability to maintain the health of the muscular system, strengthen blood vessels, improve blood circulation, reduce high blood pressure and prevent early aging of the body. With a deficiency of vitamin E, the muscle frame is destroyed, a person is plagued by colds, chronic diseases begin, and the risk of strokes and heart attacks increases.
When the amount of vitamin E in the body is normal, the cells receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Otherwise, the cells experience chronic hypoxia, which leads to constant illness, weakness, and dysfunction.
For men's health, a lack of tocopherol is associated with a deterioration in sexual and reproductive functions and the emergence of specific diseases.
The beneficial properties of vitamin E for men are as follows:
- supports the normal functioning of the reproductive organs;
- ensures normal hormonal status and testosterone production;
- protects against prostate and bladder cancer;
- provides endurance and normal muscle reflexes;
- prevents thrombosis;
- prevents not only muscle and nerve dystrophy, but also prevents male infertility.
In general, it is tocopherol that largely makes a man a man. In addition, this wonderful vitamin of youth prevents retinal dystrophy, reduces insulin and sugar levels, preventing the formation of diabetes. If you constantly maintain the level of tocopherol in the body, you can postpone the aging process for a long time.
Vitamin E is also important for men because it is involved in the synthesis of interleukins. These are special biologically active substances that ensure the health of the prostate gland, suppress the growth of cancer cells that destroy bacteria and viruses.
Thanks to tocopherol, “meat-eating” men are protected from inflammatory diseases of the esophagus and intestines, which are provoked by leukotrienes and prostaglandins. It is also very important for smokers to monitor the level of vitamin E, which reduces the harm of nicotine, maintains lung health, and reduces fatigue.
