Mechanism of action BECOZYM ® - B vitamins

BECOZYM ® is a drug based on B vitamins, water-soluble vitamins normally present in sufficient quantities in the Mediterranean diet to satisfy even the most demanding needs.

The importance of these elements, in maintaining the state of health of the organism, is due to their biological role, useful in:

Guarantee the progress of numerous biochemical reactions, necessary for the production of energy;
Support the processes of biosynthesis of macromolecules fundamental to life, such as nucleic acids, proteins and fatty acids;
Contribute to the cellular antioxidant potential, protecting the body from the insults of oxidative stress;
Maintaining the trophicity and health of the cells of the nervous system.

The numerous biochemical reactions, in which the B group vitamins are involved, justify the vast symptomatic concert that is observed during the deficiencies of these elements, therefore requiring an appropriate integration in order to reduce the symptomatology and preserve the state of health.
