Vitamins for the heart "Direct", their price and customer reviews

Brief instructions for use

"Direction" is a preparation of a group of biologically active food additives (BAA), which contains vitamins, extracts of medicinal plants and minerals. The main effects of the supplement are aimed at reducing the risk of cardiovascular pathology and its complications.

The attractive price and reviews about the vitamins for the heart "Direct" made this drug popular among patients.

Compound

Dietary supplement vitamins for the heart "Direct" is available in tablets, each of which contains:

• thiamine (vit. B1) (≥1.1 mg);
• riboflavin (vit. B2 (≥1.3 mg);
• pyridoxine (vit. B6 (≥1.7 mg);
• potassium asparaginate (6 mg);
• magnesium asparaginate (6 mg);
• hawthorn flower extract (50 mg);
• Ginkgo biloba extract (≥25 mg);
• rosehip extract (25 mg).

Mechanism of action

Vitamins for the heart "Send" is a balanced multicomponent complex, each part of which has its own ways and mechanisms of influence on the cardiovascular system.

1. Vitamin B1 (thiamine). Taking part in the breakdown of carbohydrates, with its assistance, a large amount of adenosine and ATP (fuel for the cells of the whole body) are formed, which provide:
   • improving the transport of glucose to cardiomyocytes;
   • activation of hematopoiesis processes;
   • strengthening the walls of blood vessels;
   • protection of myocardial cells from the toxic effects of ethanol and nicotine;
   • optimization of blood circulation in the coronary vessels;
   • lowering cholesterol levels, as a result of which the progress of atherosclerosis slows down;
   • a decrease in the concentration of homocysteine ​​- an amino acid that increases the risk of developing myocardial infarction;
   • normalization of blood glucose levels, reducing cardiac risk in patients with diabetes mellitus.
2. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). An important component of the processes of tissue respiration, metabolism and synthesis of proteins. The heart is affected by:
   • increasing myocardial resistance to hypoxia (lack of oxygen);
   • replenishment of energy reserves of cells;
   • stimulation of repair processes (restoration of damaged cells).
3. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). An important component of the metabolic processes of fats and nitrogenous bases, which is expressed in:
   • lowering the level of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood serum;
   • increasing the contractile function of the myocardium;
   • slowing down the rhythm of heart contractions;
   • enhancing the effects of cardiac glycosides;
   • providing a moderate diuretic effect;
   • help in lowering high blood pressure.
4. Potassium asparaginate. A vital trace element for the implementation of the contractile activity of the heart. Pharmacological effects are:
   • ensuring repolarization processes in the myocardium;
   • regulation of the rhythm (decrease in strength and heart rate);
   • promoting the conduction of nerve impulses through the conducting system of the heart;
   • inhibition of proliferation (excessive proliferation) of the smooth muscle layer in the coronary vessels;
   • preventing the processes of thrombus formation;
   • lowering blood pressure;
   • preventing myocardial damage by free radicals during a heart attack;
   • normalization of the ratio of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood.
5. Magnesium asparaginate. Due to its antagonism with potassium ions, it ensures the stability of all energy-dependent processes in the cardiovascular system. Consequently:
   • vitamins of group B and calcium are absorbed from food;
   • rhythmic heart contractions are preserved, due to the fact that it is magnesium that provides the reverse flow of potassium ions into the cardiomyocyte during repolarization;
   • potassium loss slows down;
   • the tone of the vascular wall and blood pressure are normalized;
   • the level of cholesterol in the blood decreases;
   • heart cells are protected from free radical damage.
6. Hawthorn flowers. They contain flavonoids, organic acids, carotenoids, choline, which have a number of pharmacological effects:
   • increase the tone of the cardiovascular system;
   • prevent premature myocardial fatigue;
   • normalize the rhythm;
   • selectively dilate coronary vessels;
   • reduce arterial and venous pressure;
   • improve the functional state of the vascular walls;
   • have an antiatherosclerotic effect;
   • enhance the action of cardiac glycosides.
7. Ginkgo biloba extract. The extract from the leaves and fruits of this tree contains bioflavonoids, glycosides and macronutrients (potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus), which have a number of beneficial effects on the heart and blood vessels:
   • help to relax the smooth muscles of the arterioles;
   • improve coronary blood flow;
   • reduce the degree of myocardial ischemia;
   • help to normalize blood pressure;
   • inhibit the processes of thrombus formation;
   • have an antioxidant effect;
   • increase the resistance of heart cells to hypoxia;
   • have a moderate diuretic effect.
8. Rosehip fruit extract. The extract contains ascorbic acid, rutin, carotenoids, vitamins P, K and E, flavonoids, trace elements that:
   • have a powerful antioxidant and bactericidal effect;
   • reduce the fragility of blood vessels;
   • strengthen the walls of arterioles;
   • improve rheological parameters of blood (reduce viscosity);
   • relieve perivascular edema;
   • reduce the level of cholesterol and lipids in the blood;
   • slow down the progression of atherosclerosis;
   • help lower blood pressure.

Indications

Vitamins for the heart "Direct" have a beneficial effect on the work of the cardiovascular system and the body as a whole, feeding them with B vitamins, essential trace elements (potassium and magnesium compounds) and flavonoglycosides (natural cardiotonics from plants most often used in the treatment of myocardial pathologies and large vessels).

"Direct" is indicated as an adjunctive agent for the treatment and prevention of:

• ischemic heart disease;
• widespread atherosclerosis;
• acute coronary syndrome;
• hypertension;
• complications after acute myocardial infarction;
• endothelial dysfunction;
• disturbances in the hemostatic system caused by atherosclerotic vascular lesions;
• heart failure;
• rhythm and conduction disturbances caused by the consequences of atherosclerosis;
• hypercholesterolemia.

Method of administration, doses and duration of the course

Adults are recommended to take "Directing" 1 tablet (or capsule) 1 time per day during meals.

For the highest efficiency, the drug must be used regularly and for a long time (at least 1 month). After it is recommended to take a short break.
