Amino acids for gastritis with high acidity

Mechanism of action

Once in the body, vitamin B
is converted into tetrahydrofolate, which serves as a component of many

, and also participates in a number of biochemical reactions, for example in protein metabolism. As a result, the body synthesizes the substances necessary for the formation

amino acids,

and some other factors. Also vitamin B

has an effect similar

– determines the correct development of the woman’s reproductive system.

It is well known that the first and most important stage of division of any cell is the division of the DNA molecule. It is in the process of DNA replication that vitamin B9 takes an active part. In addition, it plays an important role in the synthesis of RNA, amino acids, and improves iron absorption. Therefore, a lack of folic acid is primarily dangerous for rapidly dividing cells.

Your mood also depends on your folic acid levels. It takes part in the metabolism of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and adrenaline, which have a significant impact on the functioning of the nervous system.

Folic acid stimulates appetite and takes part in the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Low acidity

Gastritis with low acidity is characterized by an increase in the time it takes to digest food, its fermentation and decay. Vitamins that contribute to a decrease in secretory function with low acidity are best avoided. This type of inflammation of the gastric mucosa requires following a strict diet and taking medications.

Treatment of the disease, including beneficial microelements and substances, normalizes metabolic processes. Low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach require medications and natural ingredients to increase its production.

Interesting fact! Gastritis with reduced secretion can be caused by a lack of vitamin B12 - a vital element synthesized by only a few bacteria and yeast. Progression of the disease leads to problems with its binding.

Vitamins for hypoacid gastritis

Some vital microelements can be taken equally by patients with any form of gastritis. You should be careful with vitamin E, which is found mainly in oils - it helps inhibit the excessive production of hydrochloric acid.

Its content in the diet cannot be exceeded, so it is better to exclude fatty dairy products from the diet. You should also avoid products containing yeast, grapes - anything that provokes fermentation in the diseased organ.

For gastritis with low acidity, vitamins are needed:

Vitamin C - increases the secretion of gastric juice. Is an excellent agent for strengthening the immune system. The systematic use of ascorbic acid helps restore the mucous membrane and strengthen the walls of blood vessels. Rich in the element are rose hips, citrus fruits, and bell peppers;
Niacin (PP) - regulates the release of digestive enzymes and acid. Balances the acidity of gastric juice. Helps cope with diarrhea (sometimes accompanies symptoms of gastritis). Boletuses (one serving is the daily requirement), cereals, meat, fish are rich in valuable substances;
Vitamin A - can increase the level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Serves as an effective antioxidant and fights infections. It is rich in cereals, oils, bread and other baked goods.

Folic acid and men's health

Vitamin B

necessary for both women and men. With chronic vitamin deficiency in men, a number of pathologies can develop, including

and megaloblastic anemia. Taking folic acid in a therapeutic dosage eliminates such complications.

The main indicator of men's health is considered to be the condition of sperm. Spermatozoa are the same cells; their synthesis requires protein and nucleic acids.

In the absence of vitamin B9, sperm synthesis is impaired. With a lack of vitamin, the concentration of sperm decreases and their condition worsens: sperm may have an unnatural shape or lack a tail, which reduces their motility.

But the worst thing is that such sperm may have the wrong number of chromosomes, and this is the main factor in hereditary diseases in children (for example, Down syndrome).

Vitamin B9 and the hormone testosterone determine the normal development of sperm. Folic acid is extremely important for men during puberty, since it is one of the factors in the development of secondary sexual characteristics (deepening of the voice, facial and body hair, intensive growth).

Folic acid and pregnancy

Maintaining normal folic acid levels daily in the months before pregnancy helps reduce the risk of congenital malformations. Clinical studies have shown that 80% of cases of malformation can be prevented if a woman begins to compensate for the lack of vitamin B

even before pregnancy.

In the Russian Federation, it is generally accepted that the requirement of pregnant women without symptoms of deficiency of this micronutrient is 0.4 mg per day. During breastfeeding, the requirement is 0.6 mg per day.

Why do pregnant women need folic acid?

In order for the division of a living cell to begin, the genetic material enclosed in the DNA helix must double, which is impossible without vitamin B9. which is involved in the synthesis of amino acids and RNA. and also promotes better absorption of iron in the body.

The lack of this factor is extremely dangerous for intensively reproducing cells: without vitamin B9, hematopoiesis and normal growth and development of tissues and organs of the embryo (including the brain) are impossible.

The part from which the child’s brain will be formed in the future becomes visible already in the 2nd week after fertilization of the egg. And already at this stage, when the woman does not yet know about pregnancy, even a short-term deficiency of F. acid can cause pathologies associated with disruption of the normal development of the nervous system in the fetus.

Along with the fact that vitamin B9 is actively involved in the creation of the child’s cells, it is also used to replace the constantly renewed cells of the mother’s body.

Foate is involved in hepomoiesis. the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, as well as in the metabolism of adrenaline and serotonin - substances that significantly affect appetite, the state of the nervous system and mood.

Maintaining normal folic acid levels daily in the months before pregnancy helps reduce the risk of congenital malformations. Clinical studies have demonstrated that 80% of malformations can be prevented if a woman begins to compensate for the deficiency of vitamin B9 before pregnancy.

Is it possible to take vitamins if you have gastritis?

The question of what vitamins can be taken by patients with gastritis should be discussed with a gastroenterologist. Most often, the doctor recommends taking vitamin complexes in which the components are selected as balanced as possible.

Advice! It is not recommended to choose vitamin complexes on your own, since there are groups of drugs containing substances that irritate the inflamed mucosa. An example of such an “irritant” is ferrous iron.

Having decided on the choice of a vitamin complex, you should find out how to properly drink the purchased drug for gastritis. Here are some recommendations:

drink vitamins by swallowing the capsule or tablet whole; they should not be chewed or otherwise crushed;

It is recommended to drink it with clean water, and you need to drink at least a glass. Thanks to the large amount of water, vitamins will dissolve faster in the stomach, and the beneficial substances they contain will not be destroyed by acid in the stomach;
the drug must be taken in a course, a single dose will not bring benefit;
Usually, appointments are made in winter and spring, the course duration is 2-3 weeks. You can repeat the course after three months.

Contraindications

The main contraindication to use is individual intolerance to the substances included in the composition of the product. Therefore, if a skin rash appears or your health worsens while taking it, you need to work with your doctor to select a safer analogue.

Taking vitamins during the treatment of gastritis can speed up recovery. But a specialist must select the composition of the vitamin complex, since there are drugs that, in case of gastritis, will do more harm than good due to their irritating effect on the inflamed epithelial layer of the digestive organs. For gastritis, complexes such as Undevit or Complivit are often prescribed. These products have a composition that will help in the treatment of stomach diseases.

Folic acid in the treatment and prevention of cancer

Vitamin B

warns

. But if the disease has already begun, then the drug cannot be used, since folic acid will promote the division of cancer cells. In such situations, medications are used that inhibit the activity of vitamin B

, For example

. This inhibits tumor growth. In order to prevent metabolic disorders, a drug is prescribed that replaces vitamin B

– folinic acid. Given the higher risk of cancer in older people, they are not recommended to take folic acid supplements without a doctor's recommendation.

Leucovorin is a drug based on folinic acid, successfully used in chemotherapy for cancer. It reduces the severity of intoxication after the use of cytostatic drugs (vomiting, diarrhea, hyperthermia, damage to bone marrow tissue).

Vitamin B9 prevents cancer. But if the disease has already begun, then the drug cannot be used, since folic acid will promote the division of cancer cells.

In such situations, medications are used that inhibit the activity of vitamin B9. for example methotrexate.

This inhibits tumor growth. In order to prevent metabolic disorders, a drug is prescribed that replaces vitamin B9 - folinic acid.

Given the higher risk of cancer in older people, they are not recommended to take folic acid supplements without a doctor's recommendation.

Atrophic gastritis is an insidious disease. It does not always cause any pain or noticeable discomfort, and people usually do not understand the danger of metabolic disorders that develop due to the death of normal stomach cells.

So gradually, if atrophic gastritis is not treated, this pathology without pronounced symptoms turns into cancer. But all that can help is taking two or three medications and following a diet for a long time.

Types of treatment

For atrophic gastritis, only conservative treatment is carried out:

it makes no sense to remove anything, since areas of atrophy are located in larger or smaller foci;
before the cells degenerate into cancer, they can (and should) be brought back to life;
Only with the help of conservative methods is it possible, by carefully inducing the gastric mucosa to recover, to supply the food needed to establish metabolism into the further parts of the digestive tract.

Complex vitamin preparations for the treatment of gastritis

The use of complex vitamin preparations in the treatment of gastritis is not always recommended due to the possible inconsistency of the combination of drugs with the diagnosis (acidity and other factors must be taken into account). The most optimal composition for use in gastritis is:

Vitamin-mineral complexes contain moderate doses of vitamins, combined during the production process into combinable forms, allowing you to take vitamins in one tablet, without the risk of a mutually suppressive effect (for example, B1 and B6). Also, these complexes do not contain iron, which is contraindicated for gastritis.

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa, one of the common pathologies of the human digestive system. This diagnosis is accompanied by pain, discomfort and other unpleasant symptoms. To alleviate the condition and speed up treatment, a special diet is prescribed. In addition to a balanced diet, vitamins play an important role in gastritis, since their deficiency can provoke complications of the disease.

Medicines containing folic acid

Patients with gastritis can replenish their daily need for vitamins and microelements with the help of pharmaceutical complexes.

To maximize the effect of taking the complexes, you should take vitamins taking into account the following rules.

Only the attending physician should prescribe multivitamins, taking into account the patient’s condition, age and diseases.
You should take the drug as prescribed by your doctor, following the instructions.
No need to chew tablets or capsules. They are swallowed and washed down with clean water. Vitamin preparations for gastritis with high acidity can be destroyed in an acidic environment, so tablets and capsules have a protective shell that does not dissolve in the stomach.
It is not advisable to skip taking medication.
The break between therapeutic courses should last at least 3 months. It is important to take courses of medications in winter and spring, when natural reserves of vitamins are depleted.

Taking vitamin complexes will also help avoid a number of chronic diseases and increase the body's immune defense.

– the most convenient dosage form for dosing (one tablet contains 1 mg of the substance). In addition, today this is the most economical option. To completely compensate for a pregnant woman’s deficiency in vitamin B

Types of treatment

What vitamins are needed for gastritis?

Which group of vitamins is most beneficial for a sick stomach? Let's try to understand this issue. When there is a shortage of certain substances in the body, the body is forced to rationally use its resources, and when they are not enough, metabolic processes occur.

This leads to increased vulnerability of the body to various infections and diseases. The gastric mucosa also suffers. A lack of the following types of vitamins leads to dysfunction of the digestive system:

C. Ascorbic acid is a substance necessary to maintain immunity. In addition, with its deficiency, disturbances in the production of collagen are observed, and this leads to a loss of elasticity and strength of the walls of blood vessels.
K. With a lack of Vikasol, the production of a certain type of protein compounds in the body decreases, and the blood clots worse.

Group B. With a lack of vitamin B2, the risk of developing erosions on the walls of the stomach increases many times. With B12 deficiency, anemia develops, which causes weakness and greatly weakens the defenses.
A. Deficiency of this substance causes atrophy of the inner lining of the stomach and a decrease in the production of gastric juice, so the substance is especially useful for atrophic gastritis.

With high acidity

If the disease occurs with a high degree of secretion of gastric juice, then it is necessary to prescribe treatment that neutralizes excess acid and protects the mucous membranes from its aggressive effects.

The use of vitamins helps make treatment more effective. What vitamins will be most beneficial for gastritis with high acidity?

E. This substance is called tocopherol, it helps to heal damage as quickly as possible, stimulating regeneration. In addition, it inhibits the production of digestive juices.
B5. This valuable vitamin has a similar effect, that is, it accelerates healing and inhibits acid production.
B12. The vitamin is necessary if the disease is of an autoimmune nature.

B9. Helps quickly stop inflammation, so it will be very useful for gastritis.
B6. Taking this substance relieves nausea and other unpleasant symptoms of gastritis. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, and, as is known, exacerbations of gastritis are often provoked by stress and anxiety.
PP. Normalizes the production of digestive juices, eliminates diarrhea.

Low acidity

Some forms of gastritis develop due to insufficient production of digestive juices. Therapy should include agents that stimulate secretory function:

B12. Diseases of the digestive system impair the absorption of cyanocobalamin, which can cause anemia.
A and C. Retinol and ascorbic acid are necessary for gastritis with low acidity, as they fight atrophic processes and stimulate the production of digestive juices.

But vitamin E should be taken with caution for this type of gastritis. Tocopherol is extremely beneficial, but it reduces acid production. When taking tocopherol, it is important to exclude from the menu foods that reduce secretory function.

Directions for use and doses

If a woman has any of the above factors, then during pregnancy planning and in the first trimester it is necessary to consume 2-3 mg of vitamin B

in a day. Also, taking the drug in a higher dosage is necessary if there is a high probability of disruption of the development of the neural tube. This risk is present in women with

To prevent fetal neural tube defects; To prevent heart disease and strokes; To prevent certain types of cancer.

Contraindications to the use of folic acid

Folic acid supplements, even in normal doses, can mask anemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. If this anemia is not detected early, it can cause permanent nerve damage and dementia. If you use supplements, be sure to also use vitamin B12.
The vitamin may reduce the effectiveness of some anticonvulsants. Talk to your doctor before starting folic acid if you are using antiseizure medications.
If you are sick or under the care of a psychiatrist, consult your doctor before taking these supplements.

Side effects when taking the vitamin

How to take Folic acid for medicinal purposes?

For the treatment of acute and severe vitamin B9 deficiency, the patient is advised to take 5 mg of F. acid per day. In pediatrics, the dosage of folic acid tablets is selected depending on age.

The duration of treatment is from 3 weeks to 1 month.

Instructions for the use of Folic acid for the prevention of hypo- and vitamin deficiency

To prevent hypovitaminosis conditions. associated with a lack of vitamin b9. the patient is prescribed to take from 20 to 50 mcg of F. acid per day.

With concomitant chronic infection, alcoholism, malabsorption syndrome, hemolytic anemia. with liver failure. after gastrectomy. in case of stress or liver cirrhosis, the daily dose of the drug should be increased.

Daily value of vitamin B9

Children of the first year of life are prescribed to take 25 mcg in the first 6 months, and 35 mcg of F. acid in the next six months.

For children aged 12 months to 3 years, the dose is 50 mcg/day. At the age of 3 to 6 years, the drug is taken at a dose of 75 mcg, at the age of 7 to 10 years - 100 mcg, at the age of 11 to 14 years - 150 mcg per day.

The optimal dosage for children over 15 years of age, according to the annotation, is 200 mcg of F. acid per day.

During pregnancy, it is recommended to take an average of 400 mcg, and during lactation - from 100 to 800 mcg of F. acid per day.

The use of the drug in a dose not exceeding 4-5 mg per day is not accompanied by toxic effects. A dose significantly exceeding 5 mg per day can cause dysfunction of the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.

In children, symptoms of overdose manifest themselves in the form of increased excitability and digestive disorders. Adults may also suffer from sleep disorders.

Aevit for gastritis with high acidity

Taking vitamins is a sure way to improve your health. There are a huge number of various supplements on the shelves of pharmacies and stores, which makes the choice even more difficult. Vitamins for gastritis can also bring great benefits to the sore stomach and the entire body. You should know the rules for choosing vitamins, and then you can choose vitamins to your taste without outside interference. What vitamins to take for gastritis will be discussed below.

Since gastritis requires a strict diet, the body urgently needs to receive a full set of microelements that would support its normal functioning and help speed recovery.

When a person suffers from gastrointestinal diseases, there is a deficiency of pyridoxine in his body, and this leads to disruption of metabolic processes. This condition is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and nervous disorders. The patient's gastric mucosa increases in vulnerability, and this, with gastritis, can result in its further development.

It is worth consuming vitamin B6, which is found in peas, grain bread, and beans. The body will also need niacin (PP), which helps normalize the secretion of gastric juice. It eliminates diarrhea. This vitamin is worth looking for in fish, meat and cereals. Vitamin A helps prevent the emergence and development of infectious diseases, which already pose a threat to the stomach already damaged by gastritis. Look for vitamin A in bread, butter, cereal products, sour cream, kefir and milk.

Another important vitamin is folic acid, which softens inflammation of the internal tissues. It is found in cabbage, liver and spinach. Lack of vitamin B12 provokes the progression of complex diseases. Remember that this element is transported by blood. When the body begins to experience B12 deficiency, a person faces anemia, which will negatively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract during gastritis.

Vitamins, which are contained in sufficient quantities in fermented milk products, will support the body against various diseases. But at the same time, the products themselves are not always allowed to be consumed. So, for gastritis with high acidity, it is recommended to consume milk and butter. They contain vitamin E, which reduces the activity of hydrochloric acid. Vitamin C is also quite important, which is found in abundance in citrus fruits, cabbage, rose hips, and rowan. But you cannot replenish vitamin reserves without consulting a doctor if you have gastritis with high acidity.

Vitamins C, PP, or nicotinic acid, B1, B2, A are important in the treatment of gastritis. Vitamin U is especially important for increased acid formation. There is a lot of it in the juice of white cabbage. It normalizes the secretion of hydrochloric acid, and under its action the gastric mucosa heals better.

In order for the vitamins to work and recovery to proceed, you need to eat about 70 g of protein per day. This is a very approximate, average figure. The more you weigh, the more protein you need. 100 g of cottage cheese, meat or fish contains about 20 g of protein, cheese - 25 g, and milk - 3.5 g. When consuming protein, it is better to stick to the golden mean, since excess protein is just as harmful as its deficiency.

Vitamin A is necessary for cell division and normal growth. In addition, vitamin A increases resistance to infections. It is fat-soluble, so it is better absorbed from foods containing fat.

For example, finely grated carrots with vegetable oil are a good source of vitamin A. Nicotinic acid improves blood supply to the stomach and thereby helps relieve inflammation. It contributes to some extent to the formation of gastric juice. B vitamins normalize metabolic processes.

Vitamin A is more resistant to high temperatures. In order to meet the need for this vitamin (1.5 mg per day), you can eat about 30 g of beef liver or 50 g of carrots with vegetable oil, 100 g of dried apricots, 50 g of yolk. Vitamin A is found in dairy products, but in small quantities.

Vitamin C has a variety of beneficial effects, for example, it increases the body's resistance to various infections and helps in the healing of erosions (defects in the gastric mucosa), which are often found in gastritis. The daily requirement for vitamin C in humans is 70-80 mg. It is found mainly in fresh vegetables, berries, and fruits. There is a lot of vitamin C in rosehip infusion.

Vitamin B1 is found in meat (turkey, pork) and cereals. Its daily intake is 1.7 mg. This norm can be obtained from 200 g of meat or from 250-300 g of buckwheat, oatmeal, millet cereals or from 200 g of peas.

Vitamin B2 is found mainly in foods of animal origin. The daily norm is 2.2 mg. It is found in 50 g of yolk, in 100 g of beef liver. Vitamin B2 is found in small amounts in meat and cheese. However, if you eat about 200 g of cheese per day, then you get the daily requirement of vitamin B2. Vitamin PP can be obtained from many foods: meat, fish, flour products, cereals, especially buckwheat. In addition, it is produced by the microflora of our intestines.

Every day a person with gastritis needs the following nutrients:

vitamins B6, B12;
vitamin PP;
vitamin A;
folic acid.

You can choose vitamin complexes that contain all these components. It is advisable that all medications and dietary supplements be prescribed by a doctor. You should also not overuse vitamins, because this can lead to serious health problems. Excesses of some substances are eliminated by the body on their own, but often they accumulate and cause harm instead of benefit.

You should not treat vitamins as harmless pills. These are the same medications as all others, which have a list of contraindications and possible side effects.

For gastritis with high acidity, in addition to standard vitamin complexes, it is recommended to use vitamin E separately

For gastritis with high acidity, in addition to standard vitamin complexes, it is recommended to use vitamin E separately. It protects the inner walls of the stomach from serious inflammation, lines them, and relieves irritation.

And vitamin C, despite its many advantages and undeniable benefits, should not be used, because it provokes the production of gastric juice. With gastritis with high acidity, this will only add problems.

Gastritis with low acidity indicates that the stomach does not produce enough juice to break down and digest food, so substances that promote the active production of hydrochloric acid are prescribed. Patients are shown vitamins C and PP. In addition to the antiseptic, restorative, healing effect, they help normalize digestive processes and give patients strength to fight the disease.

You can get the required amount of vitamins from food. The problem for patients with gastritis is that they contain prohibited foods - citrus fruits, legumes, cabbage, fresh bread. It is necessary to look for an alternative. Pharmacy vitamin complexes become it. Immediately after you start taking it, you will not feel an immediate positive effect, but over time, your general condition will only improve. Vitamin complexes are selected individually.

When there is a lack of any vitamin, a disruption occurs in the biochemical metabolic processes that require the participation of this vitamin. A lack of vitamin C leads to disruption of the production of collagen, which is the main component of the vascular wall. Vitamin K deficiency has consequences similar to those caused by vitamin C deficiency, but unlike bleeding caused by vascular fragility, vitamin K deficiency causes bleeding disorders.

Lack of vitamin B2 causes erosive lesions of the gastric mucosa. Nicotinic acid deficiency is expressed in extensive ulcerative lesions of the skin and epithelium. The upper layer of the epithelium dies and peels off, the regeneration process is usually slowed down, and the damage does not heal for a long time. A lack of vitamin A can cause atrophy of the epithelial layer of the stomach and its replacement with fibrous tissue; decreased secretory function of the stomach. Lack of vitamin E causes disruption of the regenerative properties of epithelial cells.

Vitamins and minerals used in the complex treatment of chronic gastritis:

Methionine Vitamin U is used to treat gastritis and stomach ulcers

Methionine (Vitamin U): has antiulcer activity. It is used to treat gastritis and stomach ulcers, due to its ability to inhibit the secretory activity of the stomach (with high acidity) and have an analgesic effect. It also has antifibrotic activity (can have a healing effect without the formation of scar tissue);
Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5): stimulates the regeneration of the gastric mucosa, and has a potentiating effect on the motor function of the stomach, normalizes intestinal motility, thereby reducing the amount of hydrochloric acid;
Folic acid and vitamin B12. :used in combination in the treatment of autoimmune gastritis;
Pyridoxine (B6): used to reduce the symptoms of gastritis (nausea, irritability), as well as to normalize metabolic processes;
Ascorbic acid and nicotinic acid (PP) : used for gastritis with low acidity, to restore the secretory functions of the stomach, as well as normalize redox processes.

To restore metabolic processes and eliminate organ hypoxia, amino acids are used:

Levocarnitine: activates metabolism, improves the secretory function of the stomach, increases the activity of gastric juice, normalizes the process of food absorption;
Lipoic acid (Thioctic acid) : participates in metabolic processes, stimulates the regeneration of damaged tissues, has an antitoxic and antioxidant effect.

Also, to normalize the process of intracellular metabolism, stabilize the contractile and secretory functions of the stomach, mineral substances are used: sodium; potassium; calcium; phosphorus. The use of minerals in the form of mineral water should be considered optimal, since excess can lead to exacerbation of inflammation.

The use of complex vitamin preparations in the treatment of gastritis is not always recommended due to the possible inconsistency of the combination of drugs with the diagnosis (acidity and other factors must be taken into account).

The most optimal composition for use in gastritis is: Complivit; Undevit. Vitamin-mineral complexes contain moderate doses of vitamins, combined during the production process into combinable forms, allowing you to take vitamins in one tablet, without the risk of a mutually suppressive effect (for example, B1 and B6). Also, these complexes do not contain iron, which is contraindicated for gastritis.

Only a gastroenterologist can determine a good and effective complex in each specific case. When choosing the right drug, you need to focus on the components it contains. It is important that their combination meets the needs of the body when the diagnosis is established. The following pharmacy products are popular.

A multivitamin preparation in the form of capsules with oily contents based on vitamins A, E. Helps to overcome hypovitaminosis in a short time. The course of therapy lasts two weeks. If, as a result of pathology, there is a loss of fat-soluble enzymes, treatment with this drug will be inappropriate, since the components will not be absorbed.

The drug Undevit in the form of dragees contains a daily dose of vitamins C A R E of group B

The active substances are contained in concentrations exceeding the prophylactic concentration. To avoid an overdose, the medicine is taken with caution, under the supervision of a gastroenterologist. Used as an addition to main therapy. It is prohibited if there are diseases of the kidneys, biliary tract, heart, people predisposed to thrombosis and problems with blood clotting, and pregnant women.

The drug is in the form of a pill containing a daily dose of vitamins C, A, P, E, group B. It is prescribed to replenish the body’s reserves after various diseases, diets, and the use of antibiotics.

Take one pill twice a day, the duration of treatment is determined individually. Can be used as a prophylactic. Contraindications include peptic ulcer, intolerance to the components of the medication, erosive gastritis in the acute stage.

A medicine consisting of 11 vitamins and eight minerals that can saturate the body with vital elements. Prescribed for a lack of vitamins, loss of strength, to support the body during illness. May not be absorbed during exacerbation of gastritis.

Complivit is a medicine consisting of 11 vitamins and eight minerals that can saturate the body with vital elements

To treat vitamin deficiency, take 1 tablet twice a day; for preventive purposes, one pill per day is enough. Suitable for regular use or use in courses. Not recommended for sensitive people prone to allergic reactions.

It is almost impossible to get enough nutrients naturally if you have gastritis or pancreatitis. The diet formulated by the doctor requires strict adherence, and during periods of exacerbation, a complete refusal of food and water is necessary. In this case, only complex medications purchased at the pharmacy can help the weakened body.

With a mild degree of the disease, the gastroenterologist allows a number of products containing elements necessary for this pathology. In this case, you can purchase individual vitamins that are not available in food. Many people underestimate the role of vitamins in the treatment of gastritis. However, the consequences of their lack are very serious. Do not forget about this important factor during the treatment of pathology.

A deficiency of nutrients provokes a weakening of the body’s protective properties, metabolic processes are disrupted, and as a result, a person becomes more susceptible to disease. If you already have gastritis, then taking vitamins is even more necessary. If the gastric mucosa is damaged, the patient has to go on a diet, the diet becomes much poorer, so it needs to be thought through with special care, supplemented with special medications from the pharmacy.

For gastritis with high acidity, patients urgently need the following vitamins:

vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) : deficiency of which is acutely manifested in this disease. Contained in grain bread products, beans and peas;
vitamin B12: especially relevant if there are autoimmune inflammations. Lack of B12 is fraught with serious anemia. It is found in beef or veal liver, fish, and seafood;
folic acid, which relieves inflammation of the mucous membrane: spinach, cabbage and liver are rich in it;
Vitamin E: it makes hydrochloric acid less active. Milk and sunflower oil are characterized by a high content of this vitamin;
Vitamin PP (niacin): normalizes the amount of gastric juice secreted, eliminates diarrhea. Found in yeast, organ meats (liver and kidneys) and grains;
Vitamin A: protects the stomach affected by gastritis from infections. Bread, any butter, dairy products (sour cream and kefir) are rich in it;
Vitamin C: responsible for immunity. Contained in citrus fruits, black currants, rose hips, potatoes, cabbage, red pepper;
Vitamin P: makes capillary vessels more elastic, reducing their fragility and, as a result, the risk of bleeding. Contained in citrus fruits, rowan, black currant, young walnuts, buckwheat, cabbage;
Vitamin D: normalizes metabolic processes between calcium and phosphorus. The traditional source of the vitamin is fish oil.

Vitamins are faithful assistants in the treatment of an overwhelming number of diseases - and gastrointestinal ailments are no exception. This issue should be taken especially seriously during exacerbation of gastritis, when the diet is extremely strict. The body, without receiving nutrients, weakens and cannot effectively fight the disease.

To maintain health and well-being in general, a certain group of vitamins and microelements is necessary. They affect the functioning of internal organs and other vital processes occurring in the body. If the diet is balanced, then the right amount of nutrients comes with food. During the period of illness, it is not always possible to compensate for the lack of useful components in this way, then special vitamin complexes are prescribed.

To treat stomach inflammation, a therapeutic diet is required, which includes a small amount of permitted foods. During the acute stage, complete abstinence from food is recommended. Unfortunately, in addition to the positive aspects of such food restriction, there is a main drawback - vitamin deficiency. To combat pathology, the body uses reserves of nutrients, which leads to their deficiency. In this case, a person exhibits the following symptoms:

decreased appetite;
absentmindedness;
state of apathy;
cramps of the arms and legs;
increased excitability, outbursts of anger.

If these signs appear, you should consult a gastroenterologist. He will conduct an examination and prescribe medications to replenish the body's reserves with the necessary elements.

There are a number of useful substances that ensure the normal functioning of the digestive system. Each of them has unique properties, and the deficiency aggravates the disease in question:

Vitamin A - necessary for the restoration of damaged tissues, helps eliminate inflammatory processes. With a small presence in the body, the lining of the stomach suffers. In severe cases, partial atrophy is possible.
Vitamin C – participates in the production of collagen, making blood vessels strong and elastic. Deficiency leads to pinpoint bleeding on the mucous membrane. Another property of this substance is strengthening the immune system, which is important during illness.
Vitamin PP is responsible for the optimal production of gastric juice secretion. Its deficiency provokes increased flatulence and even diarrhea.

To prevent anemia and speed up recovery, the doctor prescribes medications that contain nutrients. Most patients suffering from gastritis have an urgent need for vitamins B6, B12, PP, A and folic acid. Therefore, many complexes intended for the treatment of the digestive system contain these components.

During therapy, the characteristics of the pathology should be taken into account. An important indicator is acidity. To determine it by probing, an analysis of gastric juice is taken, on the basis of which the type of gastritis is determined.

Hyperacid gastritis is a type of inflammation of the mucous walls of the stomach that occurs as a result of the formation of an overly acidic environment.

abdominal pain;
regular heartburn;
belching;
loose stool.

At the same time, appetite remains unchanged and weight remains at the same level.

The reason for this deviation may be infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, as well as the impact of foreign substances on mucosal cells (penetration of bile, chemical poisoning, medications, etc.), the formation of antibodies to the structures of the stomach.

In addition to the standard complex for gastritis mentioned earlier, vitamin E must be included in therapy. It reduces the production of hydrochloric acid, relieves inflammation and irritation, and treats the erosive form of the disease.

If the diet allows, then dairy products, cereals, eggs, fats of plant and animal origin are added to the diet. You can use pharmacy products and purchase a ready-made drug. Available in the form of dragees, oily solution or ampoules for intramuscular injection.

Vitamin U, an essential amino acid in the human body, can also reduce the secretory activity of the stomach. It fights not only the manifestations of gastritis, but is also effective against stomach ulcers. Found in cabbage, beets, asparagus, bananas, eggs, nuts and other foods. In pharmacies it is available as Methionine tablets.

The doctor determines which method of replenishing the deficiency of these elements is better and what dosage is required.

Vitamin C is strictly prohibited for gastritis with high acidity, as it contributes to the excessive secretion of gastric juice. This phenomenon can provoke even greater complications.

Hypoacid gastritis is a type of disease in which inflammation of the gastric mucosa is caused by inhibition of secretory function. Hydrochloric acid is released in small quantities. This concentration is not able to fully break down incoming food and resist pathogenic microorganisms.

The presence of this phenomenon is indicated by the following symptoms:

feeling of heaviness in the stomach;
bloating;
rumbling;
unpleasant smell and taste in the mouth, even if there are no problems with the teeth and oral cavity;
the appearance of a white coating on the tongue.

Pathology can be caused by colitis, heart disease, lung disease (if oxygen does not enter the body fully), endocrine system disease, metabolic disorders, and infectious lesions.

In many cases, hyperacid gastritis develops into hypoacid gastritis. This occurs after the atrophy of the glands through which hydrochloric acid is produced.

In addition to the medications needed to treat the disease, the doctor prescribes vitamins C and PP for gastritis with low acidity. Since the diet involves excluding citrus fruits from the diet, taking ascorbic acid is suitable. PP is found in chicken, turkey, pork, beef liver, various types of fish and seafood, eggs, cheese and milk. The drug Niacin in the form of tablets or in the form of an injection solution under the trade name Niacin-Vial can increase acidity.

Multivitamin preparation in the form of capsules with oily contents based on vitamins A, E. Characteristics:

Helps to overcome hypovitaminosis in a short time. The course of therapy lasts two weeks.
If, as a result of pathology, there is a loss of fat-soluble enzymes, treatment with this drug will be inappropriate, since the components will not be absorbed.
The active substances are contained in concentrations exceeding the prophylactic concentration. To avoid an overdose, the medicine is taken with caution, under the supervision of a gastroenterologist.
Used as an addition to main therapy.
It is prohibited if there are diseases of the kidneys, biliary tract, heart, people predisposed to thrombosis and problems with blood clotting, and pregnant women.

The drug is in the form of a pill containing a daily dose of vitamins C, A, P, E, group B. Characteristics:

prescribed to replenish the body's reserves after various diseases, diets, and the use of antibiotics;
take one pill twice a day, the duration of treatment is determined individually;
can be used as a prophylactic agent;
Contraindications include peptic ulcer, intolerance to the components of the medication, erosive gastritis in the acute stage.

A medicine consisting of 11 vitamins and eight minerals that can saturate the body with vital elements. Characteristic:

prescribed for a lack of vitamins, loss of strength, to maintain the body during illness;
may not be absorbed during exacerbation of gastritis;
to treat vitamin deficiency, take 1 tablet twice a day; for preventive purposes, one pill per day is enough;
suitable for regular use or use in courses;
Not recommended for sensitive people prone to allergic reactions.

Many people underestimate the role of vitamins in the treatment of gastritis. However, the consequences of their lack are very serious. Do not forget about this important factor during the treatment of pathology.

The video will tell you about the benefits and harms of synthetic vitamins:

When a person is diagnosed with gastritis, he has to completely change his lifestyle. The first step is to adjust your diet, then give up bad habits. It is very important to monitor what the patient eats; it is necessary to eat gentle food so as not to increase the symptoms of the disease.

A balanced diet is the key to beauty and health, which means it will be easier for the stomach to recover. Vitamins for gastritis play an important role in restoring the functioning of the digestive organs. Therefore, you need to know what vitamins your diseased organ requires and what foods contain them. Additional consumption of synthetic vitamin complexes will not be superfluous. They also increase the body's defenses and promote the regeneration of altered body tissues.

An inflammatory process in the gastric mucosa occurs in most people. The causes of this disease are:

disrupted diet;
alcohol abuse;
the presence of harmful bacteria and parasites;
taking medications regularly.

In this regard, a person experiences a lack of nutrients; the body does not receive, but only wastes, its vitamin reserves. As a result, biochemical metabolic processes are disrupted, vitamin deficiency develops, nausea, vomiting, psychological disorders occur, and the vulnerability of the gastric mucosa increases.

Lack of which vitamins leads to digestive system disorders:

Vitamin C. Its deficiency in the body leads to disruption of the productivity of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of vascular tissue. As a result of insufficient strength of blood vessels, pinpoint hemorrhages of the gastric mucosa appear and the protective functions of the body are reduced.
Vitamin K. If the body does not receive enough daily vitamin K, the synthesis of certain proteins in the body is disrupted, and problems with blood clotting arise.
B vitamins. Erosive lesions of the gastric mucosa occur due to insufficient intake of vitamin B2 into the body. With B12 deficiency, anemia develops, which negatively affects the functioning of the stomach and intestines.
Vitamin E and niacin . With a deficiency of these substances, the regeneration process slows down, which means erosions that affect the mucous membrane heal very slowly.
Vitamin A. A lack of this vitamin can cause atrophy of the epithelial layer of the stomach, reducing the production of secretions that help the important organ digest food.

Before you start giving preference to certain vitamins, you need to know what type of gastritis you have. Vitamins are very useful for our body and for the stomach, in particular, but their daily intake should be normal. Because thoughtless use will not lead to anything good. In this case, you need to consult a gastroenterologist, who, after studying the patient’s medical history and test results, will recommend paying attention to the necessary group of useful elements.

For gastritis with high acidity, it is recommended to use the following components that regulate the production of gastric juice and hydrochloric acid:

Vitamin E normalizes the production of secretory substances in the diseased organ, actively heals damaged gastric mucosa, and helps inhibit the production of hydrochloric acid. This vitamin is rich in vegetable and animal fats, cereals, eggs and dairy products;
the essential amino acid methionine neutralizes the increased production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, has analgesic and healing effects. Methionine is used to treat stomach ulcers and gastritis, in which acidity is increased. Contained in beets, turnips, cabbage and carrots;
vitamin B5 reduces the concentration of gastric juice and restores the mucous membrane of the affected organ. Helps the body absorb potassium and folic acid. Vitamin B5 is found in seeds, avocado, beef liver, meat, fish;
Vitamin B12 is especially relevant if the cause of the inflammatory process in the stomach is autoimmune disorders. B12 is found in beef and veal liver, fish and other seafood;
folic acid or vitamin B9 perfectly relieves inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Green foods are rich in it: spinach, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, as well as nuts, barley, tuna, salmon;
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) reduces the symptoms of gastritis, reduces nausea, and has a sedative effect. The highest content of pyridoxine is in tuna, mackerel, beef liver, buckwheat, chicken breast;
nicotinic acid normalizes the amount of gastric juice production and relieves diarrhea. Its high content is in yeast, liver, kidneys, and cereals.

In case of reduced stomach acidity, the use of medications and natural ingredients that increase the acidity of gastric juice is required.

Low acidity is associated with a deficiency in the human body of vitamin B12, a vital element that is synthesized by some bacteria; the absorption of this vitamin is significantly more difficult with gastritis with low acidity.

It is unacceptable to exceed the daily intake of vitamin E; if you take vitamin E separately, it is better to exclude high-fat dairy products, grapes, and flour products containing yeast from your diet, as it will reduce the production of hydrochloric acid.

For gastritis with low acidity, the following vitamins are needed:

Vitamins A and C normalize the composition of gastric juice, increase immunity, restore the gastric mucosa, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and serve as excellent antioxidants. These substances are found in carrots, citrus fruits, rose hips, bread, dairy products, bell peppers;
Vitamin PP balances the acidity of gastric juice.

B vitamins are used for any form of the disease, including gastritis with normal acidity. This group of nutrients has a beneficial effect on the restoration and regeneration of inflamed mucosa. They can be consumed with food, as well as together with vitamin complexes, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. However, you should avoid multivitamins that contain divalent iron, since this element irritates the gastric mucosa and aggravates the course of the disease.

Vitamin-mineral complexes contain a moderate dosage of useful substances that can be taken by patients with gastritis.

To get the maximum effect from the vitamin complex, the drug should be used taking into account certain rules:

Multivitamins are prescribed only by the attending gastroenterologist, taking into account the patient’s age and the presence of other diseases.
Before using the drug, you should read the instructions.
Tablets or capsules should not be chewed or cracked; they should be washed down with plenty of water. Since with increased acidity of the stomach, vitamins are destroyed in an acidic environment, and capsules or whole tablets have a protective shell that does not dissolve quickly in the stomach.
It is unacceptable to skip taking the drug.
It is important to take vitamins once every three months for 2-3 weeks, especially in winter and spring, when the human body receives a minimum amount of nutrients.

Ascorbic acid plays a significant role in gastritis and in the metabolic processes of the body. It increases the defenses, which means it favors the recovery of patients with gastritis. In people who smoke and those exposed to passive smoking, the consumption of ascorbic acid increases significantly, which means the daily requirement should be higher than normal - 150-200 mg.

For chronic atrophic gastritis, vitamin C is allowed to be consumed in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation. Drink vitamin C after meals, wash it down with clean water, but not tea or other drinks.

Vitamin C is found in rose hips, sea buckthorn, greens, citrus fruits, red fruits, cauliflower, green peas, and beans. However, not all products are allowed for a certain form of gastritis. Therefore, the use of each product should be coordinated with your doctor.

Compliance with the rules for the use of useful substances for gastritis gives a positive result in the complex treatment of a serious stomach disease. Vitamins will become real helpers for any form of gastritis when it is necessary to follow a diet. During this period, the body does not receive enough nutrients. And in order to increase the body’s protective functions, it needs beneficial substances that are found in certain foods or pharmaceuticals.

. With this pathology, vitamin B

take 5 mg per day to normalize the process of red blood cell synthesis.

Clinical trials have demonstrated that vitamin B9 may have a positive effect in preventing Alzheimer's disease. Individuals with this pathology, as a rule, have reduced levels of folic acid and cyanocobalamin in the blood.

Folic acid deficiency and its consequences

When food is thermally processed, up to 90% of vitamin B can be lost

included in raw foods. For example, when frying meat, up to 95% of vitamin B is destroyed

, when cooking meat and products of plant origin - from 70 to 90%, when boiling eggs - about half.

, For example

Recently, doctors are increasingly inclined to believe that folic acid is effective in preventing atherosclerosis, the main factor in diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Today, a new theory of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is popular in Western countries. According to this theory, the main reason for the progression of atherosclerosis is a high level in the blood of not well-known cholesterol, but of another bioactive factor - homocysteine.
