Reading time: 4 min
Vitamins for mastopathy of the mammary glands help to improve health, and in combination with other drugs have a positive effect.
Mastopathy is the pathological growth of the connective tissue of the mammary gland. It occurs in women of reproductive age.
The presence of mastopathy for women after 40 years of age or, conversely, adolescents is an alarming symptom and may be a sign of a malignant tumor.
Based on the various causes and forms of the disease, drugs are selected that are prescribed for its treatment.
Vitamin complexes are not the main means of therapy, but can significantly improve the patient's condition.
What and why prescribe vitamins?
Vitamins have a versatile positive effect on the body, so it is necessary to drink vitamin-mineral complexes with mastopathy.
This will not help to completely get rid of the disease, but will significantly improve the condition and speed up the healing process.
Breast vitamins, which are used in treatment and significantly enhance the therapeutic effect of drugs.
In addition, they reduce the severity of side effects, allowing not only to effectively eliminate the disease, but also to avoid the negative consequences of treatment.
Nutrition also plays an important role in mastopathy of the mammary gland. Food is the most reliable source of necessary substances, so it is important to coordinate the diet with your doctor.
The following vitamins and microelements are prescribed: A, E, C, D, B, selenium, rutin, iodine.
It is worth remembering that each of them exists. In particular, almost all of the vitamin substances listed in the list belong to the group of fat-soluble and have the ability to accumulate in the body.
An overdose of vitamin C is also possible if you do not follow the recommendations on how to take it correctly.
Another important point that you definitely need to know about is that the appointment of complexes does not replace the main treatment.
Despite the fact that they are sold without a prescription, which vitamins to take should be decided solely by the doctor, since self-medication can lead to health-threatening consequences.
Vitamins A and E
Vitamin E in mastopathy reduces the production of progesterone, the hormone responsible for the second phase of the menstrual cycle.
It has a beneficial effect on fibrocystic mastopathy, reduces the intensity of inflammatory processes, and accelerates tissue regeneration.
Vitamin A, on the contrary, affects the production of hormones of the first phase of the cycle, which is important for women after 40 - it does not allow tissues to harden.
Patients leave positive feedback on the use of these vitamins.
However, there are contraindications to their use. In particular, patients with hypersensitivity are strictly forbidden to take them.
In addition, if the dosage is exceeded, the phenomena of hypervitaminosis develop. With myocardial infarction, vitamin E is contraindicated, with liver damage - A.
These vitamins can be purchased individually or as part of complexes. For example, Aevit in the diagnosis of mastopathy, containing A and E, is prescribed quite often.
This drug is available in capsules filled with a fat-like substance. Instructions for use recommends taking one capsule per day.
The complex of vitamins A and E is considered an indispensable and effective tool for maintaining the general well-being of the patient.
Application of Triovita
Another popular vitamin complex is Triovit. It contains: selenium, ascorbic acid, vitamins B, D, E. Substance D reduces the risk of developing cancer.
A limited amount of it comes from food, so you need to add this substance to your diet in the form of a complex preparation. It is also found in other drugs, such as Normomens.
B vitamins have a positive effect on the nervous system, improve the nutrition of the soft tissues of the breast.
Therefore, Triovit with mastopathy contributes to a quick recovery, besides it improves mood, helps to create a positive attitude, which is important in the treatment of many diseases of a hormonal nature.
Vitamins Triovit also contain ascorbic acid, which is a natural antioxidant.
It prevents tissue damage by free radicals, thereby promoting cell regeneration and their rapid recovery.
Because of this property, Triovit is often prescribed to women after 45 years of age.
Selenium has a positive effect on the liver. It allows you to reduce the side effects of taking drugs that have a toxic effect on this organ.
The use of these vitamins in mastopathy contributes to a more rapid elimination of toxic substances, including immune complexes.
Usually preparations containing selenium, such as Normomens (herbal medicine), additionally include vitamin A, the effect of which is enhanced by the first.
Due to the fact that Triovit with mastopathy has such a versatile effect, it is prescribed most often.
The doctor can prescribe this remedy to a girl, an adult, and even an elderly woman, if there are no contraindications (an excess of these substances in the body).
The course of treatment with Triovit lasts 60 days, if necessary, it can be repeated a week after the end of the previous intake period.
The daily dose is 1 capsule, in which the content of all five necessary substances is calculated and balanced.
Other vitamin complexes
What vitamins to take with mastopathy, the doctor should decide, based on the patient's condition, the characteristics of her illness, the presence or absence of indications and contraindications for taking certain substances.
In addition to the above, there are several more, no less effective vitamin complexes, often prescribed by specialists. These include the following:
- Normomens is a herbal preparation containing vitamins A, D, E, selenium, rutin, ascorbic acid and a number of other useful substances.
It helps maintain hormonal levels, facilitates the restoration of breast tissue, reduces pain during menstruation, improves the condition of the skin, hair, and improves mood.
- Selmevit - contains a rich vitamin set that allows you to restore hormonal balance, increase defenses and immunity.

General principles of vitamin therapy
Vitamins, including such popular complexes as Aevit and Triovit, are dispensed from pharmacies without a doctor's prescription, they are accompanied by instructions that allow you to get all the necessary information, but this does not mean that they should be taken without consulting a doctor.
The attending specialist will help you choose exactly the vitamin complex that will be effective specifically for this patient.
For example, the drug Selmevit will be effective in an elderly lady or in severe mastopathy, but it may not work for a young girl and cause her to have an excess of these substances in her body.
You should ask your doctor how the signs of hypervitaminosis manifest themselves, so that if they occur, immediately stop taking this drug.
In addition, it is important to know that vitamins are part of a comprehensive treatment, and by no means a replacement for basic medicines.
What are the patients saying?
Women diagnosed with mastopathy, who have undergone a treatment course in conjunction with vitamin and mineral complexes, tell the following:
Natalia, 24 years old, Omsk - Six months ago I was diagnosed with mastopathy. The doctor said that the case is rather severe, it will not pass quickly, perhaps even an operation will have to be done.
He prescribed several types of drugs, including Triovit. I take everything as prescribed, I feel good, there is no need for surgery yet. Whether there is a merit of vitamins in this - I don’t know, I didn’t compare.
Svetlana, 42 years old, Perm - With mastopathy, the attending physician, along with medications aimed directly at eliminating the pathology itself, prescribed Aevit.
She took everything as it should be. Noticeable relief came just three days later. Not only did she get rid of the disease, but she began to feel even better: her mood improved, strength and energy increased.
I think that Aevit played a positive role in this.
Maria, 36 years old, Saratov - When I heard the diagnosis of mastopathy, I was very scared. But the doctor prescribed a complex treatment, which included the multivitamin complex Triovit.
As the doctor explained, Triovit will enhance the effect of drugs and speed up recovery. Everything ended well, and Triovit played an important role in the treatment, as she began to feel better in general.
We recommend to know:Which vitamin complexes to take, the attending physician decides, based on the history and individual characteristics of the patient.
Everyone knows about the benefits of vitamins. Doctors prescribe them for any diseases, as an element of complex therapy and recommend them as a prophylaxis to strengthen immunity. Among inexpensive and effective vitamin and mineral complexes, Complivit is popular. An analogue of this product should have a similar pharmaceutical effect and a similar composition. Now on the Russian pharmaceutical market there are several dozen drugs, including a rich palette of vitamins and microelements. Among the imported ones, Vitrum, Multivital, Nutrifem Basic, Incap can be distinguished. Their efficiency is quite high, but their prices are rather big. For example, a Vitrum package containing 30 tablets cannot be found cheaper than 470 rubles. An excellent alternative for many Russians was the domestic drug Complivit. Russian analogues are in no way inferior to foreign ones - these are Aevit, Aquadeprim, Askofol, Aerovit, and all of them are much cheaper than foreign ones.
We offer an overview of the most popular vitamin complexes and a comparative description of their advantages and disadvantages.
"Complivit"
This is the general name of a line of Russian preparations, which include minerals and vitamins necessary for the normal functioning of the human body. The manufacturer, which is the Ufa pharmacological company "UfaVITA", called the entire series simply and clearly - "Complivit".
An analogue among inexpensive means - this has long existed on the Russian market of medicines "Undevit", a new generation drug "Selmevit" and many others. Consider what is included in the multivitamin Complivit. Please note that all the vitamins in this and other similar drugs are synthetic, so their names may cause consumers to doubt the benefits of the action.
Any synthetic vitamins are really absorbed worse than natural ones, and in some people they can cause adverse reactions, which the instructions always warn about. In addition to the multivitamin, there are more specific preparations of the Complivit series. In this case, the analogue must be selected according to the chemical composition and pharmacological properties. So, "Complivit Mom" for pregnant women can be replaced with "Askofol", and "Complivit Ophthalmologists" with the drug TM "Evalar". Creating vitamin complexes, Russian pharmacists tried to combine their composition and quantitative content in such a way that they provide the best and at the same time a quick positive effect. Consider what is useful in Complivit and in some of its analogues.
Vitamin B line
The classic multivitamin preparation "Complivit" contains 11 vitamins. Among them, more than half are the most important vitamins of group B for human life: 1. Thiamine hydrochloride (or B1). It is highly soluble in water, needed to activate metabolic processes. 2. Ribofravin mononucleotide (or B2). It is obtained by chemical synthesis of ribose (a monosaccharide) and dimethylaniline (a tertiary amine). The role in the body is to ensure the reproduction of blood cells, in particular erythrocytes, to maintain the viability of all systems.
3. Folic acid (or B9). Soluble in water, found in honey, legumes, liver, citrus fruits. Vitamin B9 is needed for the synthesis of blood cells, is important for the proper development of the fetus, and is necessary for all pregnant women. What can be replaced by expectant mothers "Complivit"? An analogue that contains folic acid is Elevit Pronatal, which is especially useful during pregnancy. 4. Pyridoxine hydrochloride (or B6). This substance and its equivalent derivatives (pyridoxal and pyridoxamine) are found in walnuts, carrots, spinach, fish, cereals, legumes. B6 has a number of improved properties compared to pure pyridoxine, in particular, it is easier to digest in the gastrointestinal tract, more actively affects the nervous system and affects protein synthesis. 5. Cyanocobalamin (analogue of B12). Many foods contain pure B12, such as blue-green algae. For better absorption by the body, it is purified with cyanides, resulting in cyanocobalamin. It is needed for the nervous system, to improve hematopoiesis and metabolic processes, for the formation of fatty acids. 6. Calcium pantothenate (or B5). It is pantothenic acid, extremely important for the synthesis of fatty acids, without which many vitamins do not work. B5 is also involved in the metabolism (proteins, carbohydrates, fats), is an anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory substance. It has nothing to do with the classic calcium for bones, although this element is in the title. With calcium, a completely different drug is produced, which is called Complivit Calcium D3. So it just provides the body with the vitamin D3 necessary for bones. An analogue of this drug can be called "Calcium D3 Nycomed". But back to the analysis of the multivitamin complex.
Vitamins A, P, E and C
In addition to the above group, the classic "Complivit" includes: 1. Retinol acetate (or true vitamin A). In its pure form, it is unstable, therefore it is used in the form of acetate - a salt of acetic acid, which in no way detracts from its beneficial properties. Vitamin A is one of the best antioxidants, it slows down aging, improves the metabolic process, helps the formation of bone tissue, improves vision, enhances the body's resistance to infections, prolongs life even those suffering from AIDS. 1. Ascorbic acid (or vitamin C). In nature, it is synthesized from the monosaccharide hexose and is found in varying amounts in almost all fruits and many vegetables. Vitamin C is necessary for the functioning of all organs and systems, for strengthening blood vessels and gums, restoring hair, skin, and rejuvenating the body. 2. A-tocopherol acetate (or vitamin E). These are bioactive substances that are often used in nutritional supplements. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and improves immunity. 3. Rutizide (or vitamin P). Found in the plant rue, for which he received the name. Also found in blackcurrants, citrus fruits, dandelion, garlic, peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables. It is indispensable for beriberi, thrombosis, rheumatism and dozens of other diseases. Vitamin P has an antioxidant effect, strengthens blood vessels, improves blood circulation. 4. Nicotinamide, niacin (or vitamin PP). It is used for many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes, during pregnancy, with malignant tumors. In pharmacies there is a drug "Complivit Calcium D3", which includes calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol, which are absent in the multivitamin "Complivit. It is intended for those who have calcium deficiency, it is also prescribed for osteoporosis, after fractures to improve bone fusion, but is not a means to strengthen immunity.
trace elements
The minerals included in most multivitamin complexes perform many functions. They improve the functioning of the heart, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, liver, affect the condition of the skin, hair growth and strength, vision, hearing, memory. In addition, minerals contribute to better absorption of vitamins and always act in tandem with them. The classic "Complivit" includes: magnesium, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, cobalt, iron, copper and zinc. There is also a series in which selenium is added. Of course, these elements are not used in their pure form, but in the form of salts (sulfates and phosphates) obtained by chemical synthesis. All of them have passed the necessary testing, they are safe for people. Manufacturers have not forgotten about lipoic (or thioctic, which is the same thing) acid, which is necessary to regulate and maintain metabolic processes in the body and increase the functionality of many organs.
"Selmevit"
The closest in composition to "Complivit" is the drug "Selmevit", the instruction of which says that it contains the same vitamins as in "Complivit", namely: A, C, the entire line of vitamin B, P, PP, only them quantitative proportions are somewhat different.
The palette of trace elements in Selmevit is very wide. It contains magnesium, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, copper, iron, cobalt, manganese, selenium. This drug is produced in tablets coated with a white sweetish shell. It is recommended to use "Selmevit" in the same cases as "Complivit":
You need to take it one tablet per day. Price - from 200 rubles. 60 tablets. But no matter how multifunctional and useful "Selmevit" is, the instruction warns that it is unacceptable for children under 12 years old, pregnant women need a doctor's consultation. Salts of the minerals included in the drug can cause such unpleasant reactions as rashes on the body, stomach pain, nausea, pain in the kidneys. When they appear, you should stop taking these vitamins.
"Oligovit"
This preparation contains 9 vitamins. Joint with Complivit are A, PP, E, B (125 12 and 6), as well as D3. Minerals in "Oligovit" are: copper, manganese, magnesium, molybdenum, zinc, potassium, cobalt, iron and fluorine.
As can be seen from the list, the drug "Oligovit" is quite rich in useful substances. Instructions for use indicate that it should be taken in the following cases:
They take these vitamins one unit per day for no longer than a month, which, in principle, is very convenient. The drug costs a little more than 200 rubles for 30 tablets. According to numerous reviews, the Oligovit complex is a good analogue of Complivit for pregnant women. Instructions for use warns to take more than 1 tablet per day. In case of an overdose, the state of health may worsen, nausea, abdominal pain may appear, and cardiac activity may be disturbed. Two words about vitamins "Complivit Mama". They are cheap: 60 capsules cost up to 200 rubles. The complex contains 11 vitamins and 7 essential minerals. The disadvantage is that the tablets are too large, inconvenient to take.
"Dekamevit", "Revit" and "Undevit"
The drug "Dekamevit" is prescribed for such conditions:
Consumers leave mixed reviews about the effectiveness of the drug "Dekamevit". The composition of vitamins here is excellent. Each tablet contains vitamins A, PP, P, C, E, a line (129,612), and in addition, the amino acid methionine is not formed in the human body. It promotes the healing of ulcers in the intestines and stomach, improves liver function, lowers cholesterol, and is used in oncology. But there are no minerals in this complex, which somewhat reduces its value. Produces "Dekamevit" Ukraine.
Analogues of the drug can be known to many since childhood "Revit", "Undevit". They are available in the form of dragees with a sweet and sour taste. Their composition is not particularly rich. So, in "Revit" there are vitamins A, C, B2 and B1. Indications for use:
Buyers note the low effectiveness of the drug, adverse reactions such as abdominal pain, nausea, rash.
The composition of "Undevit" is richer. There are vitamins C, P, A, E, group B (125 1269), but there are no minerals. Indications for use are approximately the same as for Revit, plus everything, it is prescribed after a course of chemotherapy or antibiotics. Reviews about the drug are different. As an advantage, its low price (45 rubles) and ease of administration are noted. Disadvantages consumers call adverse reactions.
"Pentovit": instructions for use, price, reviews
This drug is rich in B vitamins, of which there are 5 types (B1 B3 B6 B9 and B12). Some people independently buy this not the cheapest, but quite affordable vitamin complex for healing and strengthening hair, nails, and protecting against viral infections. However, the instructions for use say something completely different about the pharmacological properties of the drug "Pentovit". The price (reviews indicate that in different pharmacies it varies from 120 to 150 rubles for 50 tablets) of the drug is high, given that it needs to be taken 6 pieces a day (three times 2 tablets) for a whole month.
Helps "Pentovit" in the following conditions:
According to reviews, Pentovit copes with these problems perfectly.
"Angiovit"
A good vitamin complex is the domestic Angiovit. Why this drug is prescribed, not everyone knows, so they buy it as a prophylactic to boost immunity. In fact, "Angiovit" is designed to strengthen blood vessels and improve heart function (with angina pectoris, ischemia, myocardial infarction). Its composition includes only 3 vitamins (B9 B12 and B6), which determines its properties.
Sometimes "Angiovit" is prescribed to pregnant women if they have a violation of the exchange of blood between the mother and the fetus. Customer reviews note that, in addition to improving the functioning of the heart and blood vessels, many other positive aspects are observed after the use of Angiovit vitamins. Why is this drug prescribed additionally? To improve the condition of the skin and hair, when using oral contraceptives to maintain normal folic acid, to thin the blood.

All these substances determine the pharmacological action of the drug "Revalid". Instructions for use indicate that they release it in the form of gelatin capsules. To achieve a good result, you need to take them 3 pieces a day for 3 at least 2 months.

It is involved in the synthesis of proteins and in the activity of hormones, strengthens the immune system, improves the functioning of the female genital organs, heals hair, nails, skin, stimulates the reproductive system, and slows down aging.

I welcome everyone! Thanks for checking out the review.
For 3 years now I have been drinking Selmevit vitamins periodically 1-2 times a year.
For prophylaxis in autumn, I use Selmevit, ginger with lemon, herbal tea and natural yoghurt from Evitalia sourdough.
Basically, therapists prescribe Complivit, Vitrum to everyone, but I settled on Selmevit, because it contains selenium.
Selenium is also found in the vitamins Duovit, Perfectil, Alphabet.
Like many minerals, selenium has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, nails, hair, and also fights free radicals.
🍃 An extensive list of selenium actions:
neutralizes free radicals;
responsible for reduction and oxidation reactions; participates in cellular detoxification;
selenium is essential for protein metabolism;
is a component in enzymes and hormones;
essential for the immune system;
the element is involved in the control of hormonal balance.
The daily requirement of selenium per day is 50-120 mcg. Depending on your daily routine, physical activity.
In general, it is difficult to find selenium in nature, only if you drink sea water. But it is found in products. It is enough just to eat cereals, nuts, offal, and of course, sea salt. The list is not limited to this, in fact, in any product there is a little bit of everything useful.
🍃 SELENIUM ABSORPTION
As a result of chemical transformations, up to 30% of organic selenium is formed from the total volume, but most of it remains in inorganic form.
90% of organic selenium is absorbed.
Inorganic compounds with selenium (selenite, sodium selenate) are absorbed by 50%. Long-term use of the inorganic form of the trace element in the form of sodium selenite can cause poisoning, especially with sufficient intake of Se with food.
Therefore, I think that 2 courses a year of these vitamins will be enough. To do no harm. You can not continuously drink these vitamins, because of their dangerous accumulation in the body.
Selmevit is also found in a blister pack of 30 pcs. for a month, and in the bank-60 pcs. You can drink in pairs.
The price is about 250 rubles for 60 pcs.
Shelf life -2 years.

Let's remember that the average woman needs 50-80 mcg per day. And that sodium selenate is absorbed only by 50%.
This means that you will receive 12.5 micrograms of selenium per day from the vitamin, the rest will have to be drawn from food. (Correct me if I got it wrong!)
🍃 INDICATIONS FOR USE
- Prevention and treatment of vitamin and mineral deficiency (especially in environmentally unfavorable and selenium-deficient areas).
- Increased physical and mental stress.
- Increasing the body's resistance to stressful situations and adverse environmental factors.
- The recovery period after injuries, operations, exacerbations of chronic diseases.
🍃MODE OF APPLICATION
Please consult your doctor before taking.
Selmevit is taken orally after meals.
For adults and children over 12 years of age, in order to prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies, 1 tablet per day.
To compensate for the deficiency of vitamins and minerals, with intense mental or physical work, stress, it is recommended to take 1 tablet 2 times a day. The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor.
🍃 BENEFITS OF SELMEVIT:
There will be no overdose of selenium in the body and poisoning,
Replenishes selenium deficiency in 2 months,
Excellent support for an unbalanced diet, because not many people can eat offal or nuts every day. Some don't eat bread at all. Therefore, options for obtaining selenium are reduced.
Minuses:
In areas rich in selenium, additional supplements, especially in the form of inorganic salts, can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, there are data on the genetically determined digestibility of selenium, which can also affect the results of its intake. All this indicates the need for medical advice, especially with prolonged use of drugs with an increased dosage of the mineral.
🍃SELENIUM ASSOCIATION
The absorption of Se requires the presence of vitamins B6, E, C in the body. Simultaneously with Se deficiency, there is often a lack of zinc, a vital trace element that, along with selenium, is involved in the synthesis of thyroid hormones and the absorption of iodine.
🌺🌺🌺 WELL-FEELING AFTER SELMEVIT
I drank Selmevit in the winter, when the question of a lack of vitamins is acute. Although I am for natural vitamins obtained from food, I have nothing against inorganic vitamins in the complex. You just need to use a proven brand in order to avoid overdose or side effects.
Selmevit suits me and my whole family, I consider it a rather weak vitamin complex, but this is also a positive moment, since you can be sure that there will be no bad accumulation in the body.
An excellent option to drink Selmevit is after a cold, because the body must recover, and when you are sick, your appetite disappears.
Do not forget that for a man, especially who is preparing to become a dad, Selmevit is well suited.
Get ready for winter the right way!
1 pack of Selmevit, 60 pcs each, is a budget solution and prevention of colds for the whole year, as well as excellent support for the body during the recovery period.
