What vitamins help with osteochondrosis?
One of the contributing factors in the appearance and progression of osteochondrosis is an unbalanced diet and improperly dosed physical activity. And if degenerative changes are already visible on an MRI of the spine or make themselves felt by back pain, a feeling of numbness or tingling in the extremities, a neurologist can prescribe vitamin therapy for you - injection or drip administration of B vitamins. A regimen of vitamin injections is developed individually depending on your needs , complaints and health status of each patient. So, to maintain muscles and muscle corset, injections of vitamin B6 are given. This vitamin is also needed for the normal functioning of the nervous system, so when there is compression of the nerve roots, it is advisable to use drugs containing pyridoxine. Vitamin B1 injections have a positive effect on the functioning of the entire central and peripheral nervous system. Especially injections of this vitamin are beneficial for improving the functioning of the nerves responsible for nutritional processes in tissues. A neurologist will prescribe a course of vitamin B12 injections for the prevention and treatment of demyelination (the process of destruction of nerve cells and damage to the nerve sheath). In addition to B vitamins, vitamin D is sometimes prescribed for degenerative changes in the spine. Vitamin D or calciferol is a vitamin that determines the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The positive effects of vitamin D are still being studied. Thus, D-vitamin therapy is even used to prevent the development of cerebral atherosclerosis and slow down the aging of the body. The form of taking this vitamin is through the mouth (orally). These vitamins are produced in oil and water solutions. Thus, by undergoing inexpensive complex treatment with vitamins for osteochondrosis, the patient can reduce or completely eliminate symptoms such as:
- numbness in the limbs;
- tingling or nagging pain in the arms and legs.

Immune organs
After we have examined the concept of immunity and its main types, it is necessary to pay attention to the organs that provide it.
There are central and peripheral organs of the immune system.
The central ones include:
- Red bone marrow. Found in bones. Serves as a source of formation of all blood cells, including cells of the immune system.
- Thymus. It further matures some of the immune system cells coming from the red bone marrow.
Peripheral organs:
- Lymph nodes.
- Spleen.
- Accumulations of lymphoid cells in the skin, respiratory organs, and intestines.
B vitamins in the form of injections
B vitamins can be taken by mouth or orally, as well as parenterally or by injection. In order for the body to take the maximum dose of vitamins, neurologists recommend injecting them. Injections are usually performed in the gluteal muscle. You should know that vitamin injections are somewhat painful, so it is best to do them in a medical clinic. The treatment course of vitamins is 10-20 injections.
If you have such an opportunity, it is best to take vitamins by injection for medicinal purposes, since their bioavailability or absorption by the body is higher when administered by injection.
For neurological problems, it is vitamin injections or droppers that are used, since it is necessary that the maximum possible amount of the drug enters the body and immediately begins to act by combining with blood proteins. As already noted, the most important vitamins for spinal health are B1, B12, B6 and B9. To prevent diseases of the central nervous system with food, a person can consume them if he adds the following products to his diet:
- B1 (thiamine) is found in chicken, liver and grains.
- B6 (pyridoxine) is found in eggs, shrimp, oysters, tuna, ham, chicken, minced beef and lamb, liver, cottage cheese, cheese, and nuts.
- B9 (folic acid ) contains greens, bananas, avocados.
- B12 (cyanocobalamin) contains salmon, liver, lamb, shrimp, sardines, cod, tofu, kelp.
Compatibility of B vitamins in injections
B vitamins are antagonists, therefore, if you are prescribed drugs separately, and not in a complex, ready-made drug, they should be injected every other day. Otherwise, their effectiveness is lost. It is for this reason that B vitamins cannot be mixed in one syringe. Complex solutions work a little differently. Currently, pharmaceutical companies have learned to produce complex preparations of B vitamins, which contain special stabilizing substances that prevent the antagonists in the ampoule from being destroyed.
Vitamin B12 in neurology
A person should especially monitor the level of vitamin B12 in his body. The fact is that it is an important metabolic substrate for various biochemical reactions in the body. For example, this vitamin serves for the synthesis of red blood cells, enzymes, methionine acid, nucleic acids, and activation of blood clotting. The body takes vitamin B12 from food, and some of it is also produced by special bacteria in the intestines. The body's daily need for this vitamin is very small, but it is essential for the process of hematopoiesis and the healthy functioning of the central nervous system. B12 has the ability to accumulate in the human liver in reserve, so its deficiency is a very serious symptom of diseases such as anemia, damage to nerve tissue or polyneuropathy, stroke due to excess homocysteine in the blood. If a person, for one reason or another, begins to lack vitamin B12, he suffers from systematic weakness, shortness of breath, loss of sensation in the limbs, a limping gait, “cotton leg” syndrome, memory deteriorates, and chilliness in the arms and legs may occur. Often the tongue is an indicator of a lack of vitamin B12 in the body. In a patient in such a situation, the doctor may observe a smooth, bright crimson, varnished tongue with atrophy of the papillae. In neurology, B12 deficiency leads to the fact that the nerve roots of the spine do not receive enough nutrition, and degenerative changes occur in the myelin sheath of the nerves. Due to a lack of vitamin, the membrane is poorly formed, the nerves begin to transmit information incorrectly, that is, they conduct impulses poorly, as a result of which a person loses sensitivity in the legs and arms. The consequences of an acute lack of vitamin B12 can lead to the development of paresis and complete paralysis. These are of course extremes, but still... Insufficient levels of vitamin B12 can also lead to stroke. This occurs due to excess levels of homocysteine in the blood. As a result, the inner linings of the arterial vessels begin to collapse, and cholesterol begins to integrate into these lacunae, forming an atherosclerotic plaque. As a result of this, blockage of first small and then large vessels occurs, thrombus formation and, as a final result, myocardial infarction or stroke.

Features of the formation of immunity in children
The formation of immunity in children has its own characteristics depending on age.
A feature of the formation of the immune system in children is the presence of so-called “ critical ” periods:
- The first critical period after the birth of a baby is the neonatal period. At this time, the baby encounters a huge number of pathogens. The immune system during this period is subject to strong immunosuppressive effects. This period is characterized by low resistance to many infections. There is a tendency to develop common infections.
- The second period occurs at the age of 3-6 months. It is characterized by a weakening of immune reactions due to the destruction of antibodies that were transmitted from the mother.
- The third period develops in the second year of life. During this period, the baby's contact with the outside world increases significantly. At this age, many abnormalities of the immune system appear, as well as autoimmune (directed against one’s own body) diseases. Children are prone to repeated acute respiratory infections.
- The fourth period occurs in the 4th-6th years of life. This period is characterized by a high prevalence of allergic and parasitic diseases. During this period, many chronic diseases develop.
- The fifth period occurs during adolescence. For girls this corresponds to 12-13 years old, for boys - from 14-15 years old. A large growth spurt is accompanied by a decrease in the mass of lymphoid (immune) organs. An increase in the formation of male sex hormones leads to a decrease in the cellular component of immunity. In this regard, many allergic diseases are weakened. The influence of the external environment on the development of immunity is increasing. At this time, there is a new rise in the incidence of chronic inflammatory, autoimmune, and viral diseases.
The processes of formation of the immune system in children can slow down under the influence of various external factors:
- Xenobiotics (chemicals).
- Intrauterine infections
- Frequent ARVI and digestive tract infections.
- The influence of environmental environmental factors and many others.
Some external factors can slow down the development of the immune system in children.
These factors, which slow down the formation of the immune system in children, lead to functional immaturity of the immune system and, accordingly, predispose them to the development of immunodeficiency states (a state of reduced immunity).
Vitamin B6 and carpal tunnel syndrome
Sometimes it happens that a person wakes up with a feeling of numbness in the fingers. Neurologists call this condition tunnel syndrome. The cause of this disease lies in the wrist area, where there is a special canal (tunnel) through which the median nerve passes. It innervates the second, first and third fingers of the hand, and thanks to this nerve, these three fingers sense and carry out movements. In people with a certain type of activity, when the load is placed on the hand or the work is accompanied by vibration, the transmission of impulses along the median nerve is disrupted, and the fingers become numb as a result. To treat carpal tunnel syndrome, the doctor may prescribe a course of vitamin B6 injections and physical therapy. Using a needle, a drug containing B6 is injected directly into the tunnel, as a result of which inflammation, numbness and pain go away. Typically, for carpal tunnel syndrome, 3 to 5 injections are given, and such therapy has a very long-lasting effect.
How to measure your B vitamin levels?
A deficiency of B vitamins can occur due to a number of reasons:
- nutritional deficiencies due to a strict vegetarian diet;
- problems with the absorption of vitamins in the intestines due to atrophy of the mucous membrane or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- helminthiasis;
- Smoking and alcohol also reduce the level of B vitamins in the body.
You can measure your vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels with a simple blood test. A referral for this test can be issued by a physician, or the patient can do it independently at any medical clinic in St. Petersburg that provides laboratory testing services.
Symptoms of vitamin deficiency
A lack of certain vitamins can lead to decreased immunity.
Hypovitaminosis, as a rule, has nonspecific symptoms. These include: increased fatigue, decreased body defenses, weakness, lethargy. Vitamin deficiencies have more specific (certain) symptoms. We will not dwell on each vitamin deficiency in more detail, but will only consider vitamins, the lack of which can lead to a decrease in immunity.
These include:
- Vitamin A . Its deficiency is manifested by damage to the eyes, skin, and increased susceptibility to infections.
- Vitamins of group B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal). A lack of these substances can lead to dermatitis, lymphopenia (decreased levels of immune cells), anemia, and convulsions.
- Biotin . A deficiency of this substance can lead to seborrhea, hair loss, and deterioration of the immune system.
- Vitamin C . A lack of vitamin C leads to increased fragility of blood vessels, fatigue, pain in the limbs, tooth loss, poor wound healing, and increased susceptibility to infections.
- Vitamin D . A lack of vitamin D leads to the development of rickets in the baby, which is also accompanied by a decrease in immunity and an increase in the overall morbidity of the baby.
Vitamin B17 and cancer treatment
Recently, scientists in search of a cure for cancer are increasingly paying close attention to vitamin B17 (amegdalin), which is found in flax seeds, millet and fruit seeds. Medical debate about the benefits and harms of this substance in the treatment of oncology does not subside. There are a number of studies that suggest that vitamin B17 helps in the fight against cancer. This opinion is shared by a number of medical specialists (American Dr. Krebs and Edward Griffin, Italian Dr. Guidetti), who consider cancer to be a disease caused by a lack of certain elements in the body. They claim that daily consumption of 7-10 apricot kernels prevents the development of cancer. And if cancer has already developed, then with dosed use of vitamin B17, tumor development decreases and the formation of metastases is stopped. But at the moment there are no generally accepted clinical studies confirming the therapeutic effect of vitamin B17 in the treatment of cancer. There are also a number of statements by the American oncologist Lester M Crawford that there is no scientific evidence that drugs with vitamin B17 (for example, laetrile) can cure cancer. Moreover, he believes that B17 is a dangerous compound that contains the deadly component cyanide. But, despite the skepticism of official medicine about the ability of vitamin B17 to help treat cancer, doctors do not give up attempts to study B vitamins as a promising group of substances in the treatment of cancer. Now active experiments are being conducted with vitamin B1.

Ascorbic acid - salvation for tired skin
I introduced vitamin C in its pure form into my skincare routine several years ago. Of course, not on an ongoing basis, but in courses. It copes well with skin fatigue, tightens pores, and makes the skin fresh and rested. Of course, this is not comparable to vitamin therapy in the doctor’s office, but it can be an excellent assistant in the fight for beautiful skin.
If anyone is interested, please see cat.
Full product name:
Ascorbic acid
Leather:
I am 26 years old, my skin is prone to oiliness, inflammation and comedones. It easily becomes clogged with products with the wrong composition and reacts sensitively to cleaning. Proper care and a more or less balanced diet helped me get my skin in order, and now the oil content on it appears within a decent range.
About Vitamin C:
binds free radicals, that is, slows down skin aging. Participates in collagen synthesis. The most commonly used is ascorbic acid. It dissolves easily in water and is absolutely insoluble in fat. Therefore, it is difficult to introduce it into creams. However, now there is a fat-soluble version of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid, Ascorbyl palmitate), which has made life much easier for those who like to make creams. Vitamin C oxidizes quickly, so it needs stabilizers. However, today is not about that.
Expanded opinion:
today I want to talk about a simple method to tidy up tired skin. To do this, I take Ascorbic acid in ampoules for injections. And I apply it to my skin before bed. I apply it neat for 20 minutes. Then I wipe it with a toner for sensitive skin. After which - the usual night cream.
This simple method allows your skin to look rested and fresh. This is an ideal way after illness, stress, or simply when a bad mood makes our skin look gray and dull. I also note that such procedures narrow the pores and reduce the oiliness of the skin. If I use vitamin C in the evening, I always enjoy looking at myself in the mirror in the morning. It’s as if you slept a full 8-9 hours while relaxing somewhere in the Caribbean.
The desired course is 10 – 12 procedures. Then a break. I would like to note that vitamin C is not toxic, so it can also be used in the warm season. It can often be seen in sunscreen formulations as an antioxidant.
Naturally, the method I described cannot be compared with beauty injections, which often include vitamin C for the reason that when simply applied to the skin, it will not penetrate beyond the top layer. And the effect of a rested face occurs simply due to exfoliation. However, there is an effect, and a very cool one.
I hope that vitamin C will help you, after a hard day and a sleepless night, to admire the reflection of your skin.

Vitamin B deficiency
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a water-soluble vitamin, one of the most famous of the entire B group. Vitamin B1 deficiency is quite common because it is heavily consumed by the body. This is an essential vitamin that is involved in energy metabolism. It normalizes the activity of the central nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems.

Vitamin B deficiency
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a water-soluble vitamin. In pharmacies it is often sold in the form of ampoules with a solution. The fact is that this vitamin, like vitamins B1, B12, C, can be isolated and made into a solution. It is worth noting that this vitamin is not synthesized by the body; it comes only from the outside.

What it is
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is water-soluble. This means that it easily dissolves in body fluids and, with a small excess, is excreted in the urine.
Vitamin C helps synthesize collagen, a protein that is responsible for the condition of skin, hair, cartilage and blood vessels. Ascorbic acid is also involved in the formation of serotonin, the hormone of happiness.
The daily requirement of vitamin C for men is 90 mg, and for women - 75 mg. Usually, in the absence of it in the diet, symptoms of hypovitaminosis may appear - bleeding gums, lethargy, dry skin and eyes. But in today's realities, it is almost impossible to get hypovitaminosis or even vitamin deficiency. Even if the diet is very limited, many foods contain ascorbic acid as an acidity regulator.
It is generally accepted that there is a lot of it in citrus fruits, but in fact there is even more in rose hips, currants and cabbage. By the way, vitamin C is needed only by humans, primates and some species of birds and guinea pigs - nature has approached its distribution selectively.
