Mechanism of action BECOZYM ® - Vitamins of group B

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 health of the organism is due to their biological role, useful in:

• To guarantee the advancement of numerous biochemical reactions, necessary for the production of energy;
• Support the biosynthesis processes 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;
• Maintain the trophicity and health of the cells of the nervous system.

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