Description
Overview of the medicine
Nutrifil Gold is a comprehensive nutritional supplement formulated with a balanced blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is designed to support overall health, boost immunity, enhance vitality, and combat the effects of oxidative stress, contributing to an active and healthy lifestyle.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Usually 1 softgel capsule daily or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment is typically required; generally, adult dosage applies unless advised otherwise by a physician.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in severe renal impairment due to mineral content; consult a physician.
How to Take
To be taken orally, preferably with meals to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset.
Mechanism of Action
The various vitamins and minerals act as coenzymes, cofactors, and structural components in numerous metabolic processes, supporting energy production, immune function, bone health, and cellular repair. Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Nutritional benefits are typically observed with consistent long-term use. Acute effects are generally not applicable.
Excretion
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are slowly eliminated or stored.
Half life
Varies significantly for each vitamin and mineral; some are water-soluble (short half-life), others fat-soluble (longer half-life) or stored in the body.
Absorption
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract through various active and passive transport mechanisms. Absorption rates vary depending on the specific nutrient, its form, and the presence of other food components.
Metabolism
Water-soluble vitamins are generally excreted or metabolized, while fat-soluble vitamins are stored in adipose tissue and the liver. Minerals are utilized or excreted.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
- Known hypervitaminosis (excessive levels of vitamins).
Drug Interactions
Tetracycline antibiotics
Minerals like Calcium, Iron, and Zinc can interfere with the absorption of tetracyclines. Take doses at least 2 hours apart.
Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
High doses of Vitamin K (if present) can reduce the effect of anticoagulants. High doses of Vitamin E may increase bleeding risk. Consult a physician.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture.
Overdose
Overdose of multivitamin/multimineral supplements is rare with recommended doses but can occur with very high intakes, especially of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) or certain minerals (e.g., Iron). Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, more serious toxicity. Management is generally supportive; consult a poison control center or physician immediately.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe and often recommended during pregnancy and lactation to meet increased nutritional demands, but consult a physician before use to ensure appropriate dosage and avoid excess of certain vitamins (e.g., Vitamin A).
