Why is it important to take vitamins for menopause?
During menopause, the ability of the ovaries to synthesize estrogens and progesterone - female sex hormones that previously regulated most of the processes that ensure the vital activity of the body - decreases.
This leads to malfunctions in his work and the appearance of unpleasant symptoms that are familiar to older women:
- sudden bouts of sweating, accompanied by increased heart rate and dizziness;
- irritability, emotional instability, insomnia;
- sharp drops in blood pressure;
- persistent decrease in sex drive;
- tendency to gain excess weight;
- fragility of bone tissue and numerous diseases of the musculoskeletal system associated with it;
- dry skin, brittle hair and nails.
You can cope with unpleasant problems by taking hormonal preparations containing synthetic analogs of estrogen and progesterone.
They will compensate for their deficiency by saturating the body with bioactive substances capable of:
- normalize the work of the ovaries and increase their ability to synthesize female hormones at the early stage of menopause;
- take on some of their functions at later stages and reduce the intensity of the manifestations of menopause;
- make up for the lack of vitamins, micro- and macroelements and make the external signs of aging less noticeable;
- accelerate metabolic processes, preventing the appearance of body fat and gaining excess weight;
- strengthen immunity and become reliable protection against infections to which the body becomes susceptible during menopause.
All these tasks are successfully solved by multivitamin complexes:
- having a small list of contraindications and side effects;
- non-addictive and non-addictive;
- capable of providing the desired therapeutic effect;
- having a general strengthening effect on the body.
Non-hormonal vitamins with menopause in women are not able to cancel menopause, but they make it easier symptoms, mitigate their negative effects on the body and act as long as they continue reception.
What vitamins are needed for menopause and why?
In a properly selected vitamin complex, biologically active components must be present, the lack of which is felt especially acutely.
Then he will be able to:
- eliminate the deficiency of substances necessary for the body;
- delay the onset of menopause;
- weaken the accompanying unpleasant symptoms,
Vitamin E
Tocopherol, known as vitamin E or "the vitamin of youth", is vital for normal functioning the female body, since it is responsible for the proper functioning of the ovaries and stimulates the synthesis of female hormones.
In addition, vitamin E has striking antioxidant properties: the ability to block oxidation processes and the destruction of cells caused by them, halting aging.
With the onset of menopause, its concentration in the blood begins to steadily decrease, which becomes the reason:
- instability of blood pressure;
- muscle weakness;
- decrease in visual acuity;
- memory impairment;
- weakening of immunity;
- age-related skin changes.
Vitamin A
Retinol:
- has antioxidant properties;
- takes an active part in all redox processes in the body;
- provides a full-fledged metabolism and supply of oxygen to all organs.
It is involved in the synthesis of proteins, which are the "building material" for muscles, skin, hair, nails, and is also directly involved in the formation of bone tissue.
Retinol deficiency causes:
- fragility of blood vessels;
- circulatory disorders;
- brittle hair;
- dry skin;
- the appearance of wrinkles;
- deterioration of vision, causing "night blindness", the development of myopia or hyperopia.
Vitamin C
Ascorbic acid is essential for the successful synthesis of collagen, a protein that has a filamentous structure and forms the basis of connective tissue.
The amount of collagen affects the elasticity of the skin, the condition of muscles, tendons, ligaments, the ability of blood vessels to perform their functions.
Lack of vitamin C is manifested:
- bleeding gums;
- inflammatory processes on the skin;
- poor wound healing;
- the appearance of puffiness;
- weakening of memory and ability to concentrate.
Vitamin D
Calciferol is sometimes called a "female" vitamin, so great is its role in maintaining a woman's health. He is in charge of all processes related to reproductive function - menstruation, pregnancy, lactation.
Also vitamin D:
- is responsible for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus - minerals that support the health of teeth, joints, bone tissue;
- controls the work of the most important systems of the body (in particular, endocrine and hormonal), maintaining a healthy weight;
- has anti-tumor properties;
- slows down the aging of the body;
- reduces the intensity of hot flashes and reduces their frequency during menopause.
Lack of vitamin D is common in women over 50.
It manifests itself:
- chronic fatigue;
- the appearance of gynecological diseases;
- deterioration in the appearance of the skin;
- problems with hair and teeth;
- posture disorders, according to which others accurately determine the age of a woman.
Vitamins B1 and B6
Thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6) are necessary for normal health and the creation of a positive emotional background. Thiamin is called the "vitality vitamin" because its role in strengthening the nervous system and fighting depression is difficult to overestimate. With his participation, acetylcholine is produced, a neurotransmitter that ensures the correct functioning of the heart and the digestive tract.
Pyridoxine:
- participates in most metabolic processes that ensure the functioning of the body;
- regulates the action of food enzymes;
- provides the synthesis of prostaglandins - substances that regulate blood pressure;
- affects the condition of hair, skin, nails.
Starting from the age of 45, the concentration of these and other substances necessary for the body inevitably decreases partly due to the "fault" of menopause, partly - as a result of a decrease in the activity of food enzymes characteristic of the aging process, which results in the appearance of numerous problems.
When choosing a multivitamin complex that can compensate for the deficiency of bioactive substances, it is necessary to take into account:
- woman's age;
- a list of problems that this tool has to deal with;
- the intensity of their manifestations.
A preliminary consultation with a therapist is desirable, who will help you choose the best option.
