Autoimmune Balance: Balanced Vitamin and Mineral Checkup in Autoimmune Diseases
Why is this Check-up package important?
Comprehensive tests help identify vitamin and mineral deficiencies in autoimmune diseases.
Included in the check-up package:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin B9
- Zinc (Zn)
- Vitamin B6
Vitamin B9 (Folate): The main function of Vitamin B9 in the body is its ability to carry methyl groups (CH₃−). This plays a key role in important biochemical reactions involved in the synthesis of DNA and certain amino acids (such as glycine and methionine).
In cases of folate deficiency (hypovitaminosis), DNA synthesis is slowed down, leading to the formation ofabnormal and unstable DNA molecules. This results in the replacement of thymine nucleotides with uracil, causing increased DNA instability and breakdown.
Such a disorder primarily affects rapidly renewing cells and tissues, including blood and epithelial tissues. For this reason, the clinical signs of folic acid deficiency are mainly associated with these systems.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, and nonspecific ulcerative colitis significantly increase the risk of vitamin B6 deficiency.
Zinc: Zinc deficiency negatively affects the formation, activation, and maturation of lymphocytes. This weakens cellular immunity.
Several studies have shown that zinc is useful in the treatment of the following infections:
- Viral infections (acute intestinal infections, hepatitis C, HIV)
- Bacterial infections (shigellosis, Helicobacter pylori infection)
- Parasitic infections (leishmaniasis, malaria)
- Autoimmune diseases (type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis)
Vitamin A (Retinol): Vitamin A is essential for the following functions:
- Normal vision
- Immune system function
- Embryonic development
- Integrity and growth of the skin and mucous membranes
- Bone development
- Formation of photoreceptors in the eye
- Protection of the eyes and other mucous membranes
Vitamin A deficiency can lead to night blindness and damage to eye tissues, and in severe cases, may result in complete blindness.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): The primary function of vitamin E is antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals.
In addition, it:
- Prevents blood cells (platelets) from adhering to vessel walls
- Improves blood circulation
- Reduces the risk of vascular blockage and blood clot formation (thrombosis)
- Maintains vascular elasticity and helps protect against cardiovascular diseases
