Vitamins and minerals

To slow down age-related changes in geriatrics used vitamins and vitamin complexes. The effect of vitamins and aging in the experiment.

Vitamin E does not slow down the aging mice of different strains (lmadfa, 1986).

In experiments on mice G. Massey S57VL effect of vitamin C in high doses led to an increase in life expectancy by 20%, but maximum lifespan did not change. The author concludes that vitamin C can significantly slow down the aging of human thought as Linus Pauling.

There have been reports that vitamin A, retinol-acetate or rather, it is proposed as an effective cosmetic "skin rejuvenation" in conjunction with the updating of the cells and is expressed in smoothing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.

Romanian gerontologists Parhonom K. and A. Aslan in 1948, used to treat old people drug procaine, Gerovital or H-3, containing 2% solution of novocaine. More pronounced effect of the drug provided in conjunction with or dekamevitom kvadevitom. 35 years of continued debate about the possibility of prolonging life with Gerovital. Procaine is sometimes touted as a miracle "anti-aging" means nothing about the possible complications with fatal outcome. The impact of Gerovital on Wistar rats led to an increase in life expectancy by 20%, but maximum lifespan did not change. A. Aslan pointed out that it has failed to prove the possibility of prolonging life with Gerovital.

The American Medical Association, after careful study of Gerovital, has announced its complete failure. Another Romanian drug - aslavital in the clinic and in the experiment has shown effectiveness in slowing the development of cerebral atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and hypertension.
Broader spectrum of action on aging offer a range of vitamins and minerals.

As used in geriatric practice Dekamevit, Undevit, kvadevit, neodekamevit, ampevit, orkomin, and other kaglyutam normalize impaired with aging metabolism, activate the function of many organs and systems, strengthen coping mechanisms and enhance the viability of the organism.

In geriatric medicine are also applicable ampevit, lipobolit, viteral, Gere, Oligovit, supradil, bekseletes-1 bekseletes-2, Seton, mediatrik, tireomin, senton, rikavit and other experimental observations indicate that some of these drugs (Dekamevit, Undevit, rikavit, ampevit) is somewhat lengthen the average life span of animals, but do not increase the maximum life span. It is established that the elderly under the influence of multivitamin complexes (eg dekamevita, kvadevita) decreased by general weakness, headache, tinnitus, improve sleep, memory, and increased functional activity of the brain, decreased blood pressure, normalization of the redox processes one electrolyte and lipid metabolism, endocrine function, activated immune defenses, retarded development of atherosclerosis. Thus, these drugs slow down during aging, but no appreciable effect on aging.
H. Schroeder (1960-1974) in the experiments studied the effect of aging on the 21 elements of the periodic system. Significant increase in average life expectancy of animals called chromium, yttrium and palladium. Other elements had no effect on life expectancy. As used in geriatric medicine polimikroelementny orkomin increases the average life span of rats by 4.8%.
