Succinic acid: instructions for use

Succinic acid (sodium succinate, butanedioic acid) is a key biochemical molecule.

Nature uses it for energy metabolism in plants, human and animal tissues. For many centuries it has been used as an analgesic and a natural antibiotic. Succinates are natural regulators of the body's processes. The need for them arises with increased loads: both physical and emotional. Acid is unique in that it accumulates only in those areas that it needs, bypassing healthy cells and tissues.

The use of succinic acid prevents the development of tumors, reduces sugar and neutralizes stones in the kidneys. With varicose veins, butanedioic acid removes inflammation, restores blood circulation, and as a result, veins are regenerated.

What is succinic acid?

Succinic acid is a natural compound necessary for all living organisms, as an active component of organic synthesis. The largest reserves of it on Earth are represented in the form of amber known to all. Amber was the starting material for obtaining succinic acid. Modern methods for making it others - from benzene or n-butane, a white powder is obtained, consisting of crystals, sourish to the taste, soluble in water.

The substance obtained is safe and, which is the most valuable, has a positive effect on the human body. In the surrounding world, succinic acid is found in coal, resins, berries (unripe grapes and gooseberries), turnips, plants (aloe, hawthorn, alfalfa, sugar cane), sunflower seeds and barley. There is this acid in lactic acid products, cheeses, aged wines, flour products from rye flour, yeast, seafood, etc.

But such products are not so much, so it is produced by the pharmaceutical industry in various preparations to make up for its deficiency.

Pharmacological effect

Succinic acid is an antioxidant and immunomodulator. It has a metabolic, antihypoxic and antioxidant effect. Metabolic action is that the cells enter the finished substance, which is included in the Krebs cycle, during which ATP is produced. This effect allows cells of all organs to get more energy for their needs, and, therefore, to work more effectively and better.

The antihypoxic effect of succinic acid is that it improves tissue respiration, that is, the transfer of oxygen from the blood to the interior of cells and its utilization. The antioxidant effect of "amber" is that it neutralizes free radicals that damage cell structures and lead to their death. In addition, due to the antioxidant effect, succinic acid slows the growth of malignant tumors. Also, succinic acid and its compounds (succinates) possess the properties of adaptogens, that is, improve the overall resistance of the organism to adverse effects of the external environment, such as stress, viruses, bacteria, severe psycho-emotional and physical stress, etc.

Amber acid has the above effects on the cells of any organs and tissues without exception, and therefore improves the condition and functioning of the whole organism as a whole. However, the most pronounced improvement against amber acid is noted in the work of the brain and heart, since these organs use the greatest amounts of oxygen and energy. Therefore, succinic acid preparations are successfully used to prevent senile changes in the central nervous system and in the complex therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

The liver under the influence of "amber" quickly neutralizes various toxic substances, due to which any intoxication passes in a short time, including alcohol and nicotine.

In general, we can say that succinic acid has the following effects on the work of various organs and systems:

Increases the efficiency of work and increases the flow of oxygen to the cells of the nervous system;
Strengthens the therapeutic effects of drugs, which can significantly reduce the dosage and duration of treatment of various diseases;
It relieves the development and maintenance of the inflammatory process, including allergic, thereby accelerating recovery from chronic diseases;
Improves nutrition of the brain and heart, creating optimal conditions for their work;
Accelerates the neutralization of various toxic substances in the liver, so that any intoxication against succinic acid continues to be much shorter than without it;
Reduces the risk of developing malignant tumors;
Reduces the growth rate of tumors;
Increases the body's resistance to infections, stresses and other adverse effects of the environment;
Stimulates the production of insulin;
Improves microcirculation of blood in peripheral tissues (arms, legs, etc.);
It has excellent antidepressant properties, helping to remove irritation, anxiety, fears and negative emotions;
It relieves chronic inflammatory processes in the genito-urinary organs.

Thus, succinic acid is a very useful biologically active additive, contributing to the transition to the optimal mode of operation of all organs and tissues.

Compatibility with other drugs

The product as a whole has good compatibility. It is not necessary to combine the reception of succinic acid with anxiolytics and barbiturates.

Amber acid for weight loss

The positive effect of the use of succinic acid for weight loss is due primarily to the ability to purify the substance the body from accumulated toxins, activate the function of the digestive system and remove excess water from the body.

Analyzing reviews of nutritionists about the effectiveness of the drug, we can conclude that for weight loss it should be used only as an additional stimulant of metabolic processes. Without adjusting the diet and exercise, you will not be able to get rid of the stores of subcutaneous fat.

Losing weight is recommended to take a three-day course of 3-4 tablets a day. The fourth day is made unloading: the tablets are not drunk, and they also restrict eating and exercise.

The second option involves a daily intake of 30 grams of 1 gram of succinic acid. The whole dose is taken at one time before breakfast.

Succinic acid and alcohol

Accepted alcohol in the liver very quickly turns into acetaldehyde. The use of succinic acid accelerates the decomposition of acetaldehyde into less harmful substances for the body, accelerates detoxification and improves overall health.

You can take the additive:

before drinking;
with hangover syndrome;
for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal.

As part of complex therapy, it is possible to use alcoholism. Course use within a few months is allowed only on the prescription of the doctor and only after the patient has undergone a comprehensive examination.

The use of succinic acid in a hangover

Many toxicologists tend to consider succinic acid as the No. 1 remedy for a hangover. Influencing the cycle of tricarboxylic acids, which is the key link in the energy metabolism, succinate stimulates it in accordance with the principle of mobile equilibrium and promotes the removal of under-oxidized metabolic products.

If drinking alcohol was accompanied by a plentiful snack, it is recommended to supplement the use of YaK with enema. To remove hangover syndrome it is recommended to take one tablet 0.1 g every 50 minutes. The maximum daily dose is 6 tablets. Higher doses can trigger heartburn.

To prevent a hangover about an hour before the planned feast should take 2 supplement tablets. The action develops in half an hour and lasts from 2 to 3 hours.
