PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Pharmacological Action Pharmacodynamic effect due to the combination of active ingredients for promoting improved Immune system, hair and skin health. Pharmacokinetic Properties Brown Algae No Pharmacokinetic data available Burdock Root No Pharmacokinetic data available. Zinc Gluconate Zinc is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. The highest concentrations occur in hair, eyes, male reproductive organs and bone. Lower levels are present in liver, kidney and muscle. In blood 80% is found in erythrocytes. Plasma zinc levels range from 70 to 110μg/dL and about 50% of this is loosely bound to albumin. About 7% is amino-acid bound and the rest is tightly bound to alpha 2-macroglobulins and other proteins Vitamin E Vitamin E is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Most of the vitamin appears in the lymph and is then widely distributed to all tissues. Most of the dose is slowly excreted in the bile and the remainder is eliminated in the urine as glucuronides of tocopheronic acid or other metabolites. Biotin Biotin is a co-enzyme for carboxylation during the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates.  

INDICATIONS

  • Maintain skin health.
  • Maintain skin structure.
  • Support skin regeneration.
  • Support wound healing.
  • Antioxidant / Reduce free radicals formed in the body.
  • May reduce skin inflammation.
  • May improve skin barrier function.
  • Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.
  • Helps the body to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
  • Helps in connective tissue formation.
  • Helps to maintain immune function.

WARNINGS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

  • Vitamin E has been reported to increase bleeding tendency in vitamin-K deficient patients or those taking anticoagulant treatments, it is therefore recommended to monitor the prothrombin time and international normalised ratio (INR) to detect any changes in haemostasis.
  • Vitamin E has been reported to increase the risk of thrombosis in patients predisposed to this condition, including patients taking oestrogens.
  • This finding has not been confirmed but should be borne in mind when selecting patients for treatment, in particular women taking oral contraceptives containing oestrogens.
  • Accumulation of zinc may occur in cases of renal failure.
  • Consult a health care practioner if symptoms persist or worsen.
  • Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are breasfeeding.

INTERACTIONS

  • Vitamin E may increase the risk of haemorrhage in patients taking anticoagulants
  • Vitamin E may increase the risk of thrombosis in patients taking oestrogens
  • Colestyramine may reduce the absorption of Vitamin E.
Copper: Zinc may inhibit the absorption of copper (see section 4.3). Tetracycline Antibacterials: Zinc may reduce the absorption of concurrently administered tetracyclines, also the absorption of zinc may be reduced by tetracyclines; when both are being given an interval of at least three hours should be allowed. Quinolone Antibacterials: Zinc may reduce the absorption of quinolones; ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. Calcium Salts: The absorption of zinc may be reduced by calcium salts. Iron: The absorption of zinc may be reduced by oral iron, also the absorption of oral iron may be reduced by zinc. Penicillamine: The absorption of zinc may be reduced by penicillamine, also the absorption of penicillamine may be reduced by zinc. Trientine: The absorption of zinc may be reduced by trientine, also the absorption of trientine may be reduced by zinc.

HUMAN REPRODUCTION

Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant, intending on becoming pregnant or breast feeding. Zinc crosses the placenta and is present in breast milk.

DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Adults 18 years and older: Take one capsule once daily with meals or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed daily dose without consulting a relevant health care provider.

SIDE EFFECTS

The frequencies of adverse reactions are ranked according to the following:
  • frequent > 1/100
  • less frequent < 1/100
Immune system disorders Less frequent: Anaphylactic shock has been reported with Burdock root Gastrointestinal disorder Less frequent:
  • Zinc salts may cause abdominal pain, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, gastric irritation and gastritis. There have also been cases of irritability, headache and lethargy observed.
  • Zinc may interfere with the absorption of copper, leading to reduced copper levels, and potentially copper deficiency. The risk of copper deficiency may be greater with long-term treatment (e.g. if zinc deficiency is no longer present) and/or with higher doses of zinc
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorization of the medicine is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicine. Health care providers are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions to SAHPRA via the “6.04 Adverse Drug Reactions Reporting Form”, found online under SAHPRA’s publications: https://www.sahpra.org.za/Publications/Index/8.

FARMAKOLOGIESE AKSIE

Farmakologiese aksie Farmakodinamiese effek as gevolg van die kombinasie van aktiewe bestanddele vir die bevordering van verbeterde Immuunstelsel, hare en velgesondheid. Farmakokinetiese eienskappe Bruin alge Geen farmakokinetiese data beskikbaar nie Klitwortel Geen farmakokinetiese data beskikbaar nie. Sink Sink word uit die spysverteringskanaal opgeneem en deur die hele liggaam versprei. Die hoogste konsentrasies kom voor in hare, oë, manlike voortplantingsorgane en been. Laer vlakke is in lewer, nier en spier aanwesig. In bloed word 80 % in eritrosiete aangetref. Plasma-sinkvlakke wissel van 70 tot 110μg / dL en ongeveer 50 % hiervan is losweg aan albumien gebind. Ongeveer 7 % is aan aminosuur gebind en die res is styf gebind aan alfa 2 -makroglobuliene en ander proteïene Vitamine E Vitamine E word uit die spysverteringskanaal opgeneem. Die meeste vitamine verskyn in die limf en word dan wyd versprei na alle weefsels. Die meeste van die dosis word stadig in die gal uitgeskei en die res word in die urine uitgeskakel as glukuroniede van tokoferonsuur of ander metaboliete. Biotien Biotien is 'n ko-ensiem vir karboksilase tydens die metabolisme van proteïene en koolhidrate.

WAARSKUWINGS EN SPESIALE VOORSORGMAATREËLS

  • Daar is berig dat vitamine E die neiging tot bloeding by pasiënte met vitamien-K-tekort of diegene wat antikoagulantbehandelings neem, verhoog. Dit word dus aanbeveel om die protrombientyd en die internasionale genormaliseerde verhouding (INR) te monitor om enige veranderinge in hemostase op te spoor.
  • Daar is berig dat vitamien E die risiko van trombose verhoog by pasiënte wat tot hierdie toestand geneig is, insluitend pasiënte wat estrogeen neem.
  • Hierdie bevinding is nie bevestig nie, maar moet in gedagte gehou word by die keuse van pasiënte vir behandeling, veral vroue wat orale voorbehoedmiddels neem wat estrogeen bevat.
  • Opeenhoping van sink kan voorkom in gevalle van nierversaking.
  • Raadpleeg 'n gesondheidsorg-praktisyn as simptome voortduur of vererger.
  • Raadpleeg 'n gesondheidsorgpraktisyn voordat u dit gebruik indien u borsvoed.

INTERAKSIES

  • Vitamine E kan die risiko van bloeding verhoog by pasiënte wat antikoagulante neem
  • Vitamine E kan die risiko van trombose verhoog by pasiënte wat estrogeen neem
  • Kolesteramien kan die opname van Vitamin E verminder.
Koper: Sink kan die opname van koper belemmer (sien afdeling 4.3). Tetrasiklien antibakteriese middels: Sink kan die opname van gelyktydig toegediende tetrasikliene verminder, en die opname van Sinnk kan ook deur tetrasikliene verminder word; wanneer albei 'n interval van ten minste drie uur kry, moet dit toegelaat word. Kinoloon Antibakteriese middels: Sink kan die opname van kinolone verminder; siprofloksasien, levofloksasien, moksifloksasien, norfloksasien en vanloksasien. Kalsiumsoute: Die opname van sink kan deur kalsiumsoute verminder word. Yster: Die opname van sink kan deur orale yster verminder word, en die opname van orale yster kan met sink verminder word. Penisillamien: Die opname van sink kan deur penisillamien verminder word, en die opname van penisillamien kan met sink verminder word. Trientien: Die opname van sink kan deur trientien verminder word, en die opname van trientien kan met sink verminder word.

MENSLIKE VOORTPLANTING

Raadpleeg 'n geneesheer vir gesondheidsorg voordat u swanger is, van plan is om swanger te raak of borsvoed. Sink kruis die plasenta en is in borsmelk aanwesig.

DOSERING EN AANWYSINGS VIR GEBRUIK

  • Volwassenes van 18 jaar en ouer:
