Klix Mechanism of Action

Pharmacology: Vitamins and minerals are essential for normal metabolic functions including hematopoiesis. The B-complex vitamins are necessary for the conversion of carbohydrate, protein and fat into tissue and energy. Ascorbic acid is involved in tissue repair and collagen formation, therefore essential to the integrity of the epithelial cells. Vitamin A is necessary for proper functioning of the retina. Vitamin E is an antioxidant which preserves essential cellular constituents. Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C) are not significantly stored by the body and must be replaced continually to maintain essential tissue levels; excess quantities are excreted in the urine. These vitamins are rapidly depleted in conditions interfering with their intake or absorption. Vitamins supply therapeutic levels of Vitamin C and B-complex vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins can accumulate in the body and do not need replacement as frequently. Therefore, vitamins supply more conservative levels of A, D and E.
