Hello to all beauties! Today I remembered a long-forgotten drug. And it seems to me that many of you will now hear about this remedy for the first time. Meanwhile, it has been widely used for decades for a variety of purposes. In general, the topic of today's conversation is succinic acid, indications for use, reviews and expert opinion. Make yourself comfortable, the conversation will be long but fascinating.

Succinic acid - what is it and what are the benefits?

Our today's heroine is the most important element in the chain of chemical processes of cellular respiration and ATP synthesis (the main source of energy in the body). It is synthesized daily in the human body in amounts of up to 300 mg, and in addition, it is additionally supplied in some volume with food. Which ones? This substance is found in:

• pickled vegetables;
• unripe berries;
• fermented milk products;
• oysters;
• brewer's yeast;
• Borodino bread, rye flour crackers;
• barley;
• aged wine and beer;
• seeds and sunflower oil.

In general, ordinary products. Therefore, under standard conditions, the human body contains a sufficient amount of succinic acid and does not require additional “feeding”. But in stressful situations, during physical activity, or emotional imbalance, the body feels its deficiency. The consequence of this is sleep problems, loss of energy, depression and nervous exhaustion.

All these conditions, to one degree or another, alas, are familiar to everyone - from students to retirees. Therefore, the reviews from doctors are clear - for a modern person, in his rhythm and with his problems, taking succinic acid certainly won’t hurt. Also, despite the fact that the drug is only a dietary supplement and not a medicine, the following diseases should be included in the indications for the use of succinic acid:

• atherosclerosis;
• osteochondrosis;
• chronic bronchitis;
• asthma;
• ARVI;
• poisoning;
• oncological diseases;
• for diabetes.

But! This is only part of a comprehensive treatment. Some of these diseases require long-term and sometimes lifelong medication. And succinic acid, in addition to the immediate therapeutic effect, helps to reduce the dose of medications taken, shorten the duration of treatment courses and increase the interval between them. According to patients, the period without medications with UC is easier to tolerate.

How to obtain, properties and functions

There is a lot of noise around succinic acid today. It is credited with many properties, from anti-cancer to anti-aging, but not everything that is said is true. And the first unfortunate disappointment is the source material.

Myth No. 1

Unscrupulous manufacturers sometimes claim that their product is made from amber and this is a blatant lie. The cost of a kilogram of this fossil resin is hundreds of euros, and its acid content is very low. The first attempts to extract the substance from amber were made back in the 17th century, but today it is obtained artificially from maleic anhydride. In general, no romance.

Therefore, now succinic acid can be found in every pharmacy and at a ridiculous price - from 10 to 50 rubles for a blister with ten tablets. There are also more serious medications based on it, for example, Mexiprim, which is administered intravenously.

But why do we need succinic acid at all? What functions does it perform?

1. Participates in the process of ATP synthesis, an acid that is a source of energy at the cellular level.
2. Has an antihypoxic effect, improving cellular respiration.
3. It is an antioxidant, due to which, according to some data, it effectively complements therapy for oncology.
4. The substance acts as an adaptogen. It improves the body's resistance not only to viruses and bacteria, but to stress and other adverse external factors.
5. It affects the functioning of absolutely all organs, but most of all the heart and nervous system, as the main consumers of oxygen.
6. Stimulates insulin synthesis.

Succinic acid takes a direct part in the central link of metabolic processes, therefore its addition from the outside acts as a means for igniting a fire. Many processes accelerate, blood pressure rises, strength and energy appear, the immune system reacts, breathing becomes deeper.

I don’t want to dive into biochemistry; after all, I’m not an expert, but for those who are thirsty for knowledge, I suggest watching this video about the principle of action of succinic acid:

Succinic acid - instructions for use

Many people have a logical question: how to take these same pills? The instructions are usually modestly silent about this. And the drug itself does not have instructions as such, with rare exceptions. Only a few lines directly on the blister.

Therefore, unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer, the tablet can be swallowed whole, dissolved or dissolved in water. Although some note that problems arise with the last point and the “amber” has to be crushed first.

For preventive purposes, succinic acid in tablets is taken in the morning. Preferably during meals so as not to irritate an empty stomach. The daily requirement is approximately 300 mg. You should not take the drug at night, unless, of course, you plan to spend it at work. According to the principle of action, Yak is similar to an energy drink, so you are guaranteed at least an hour of wakefulness.

Why take it for adults?

The drug has found its way into sports. By promoting energy production at the cellular level, it improves the quality of your workouts. You can work directly on your muscles longer and more effectively, or do more intense cardio. Yantarka is drunk in preparation for competitions and as an aid in recovery after them. Athletes call Eleutherococcus tincture similar in effectiveness.

Succinic acid is often prescribed to older patients. The drug is useful for older people for many reasons.

1. Firstly, it acts as a catalyst for metabolic processes, and therefore slows down aging changes in the body.
2. Secondly, as mentioned above, it is indispensable for chronic diseases, which become more and more common with age.

An indisputable fact: succinic acid helps detoxify the body during alcohol poisoning by accelerating the breakdown of ethanol and acetaldehyde.

In other words, YAC is a real first aid for a hangover. It is even found in some anti-hangover products. By taking the pills immediately before the feast, you can completely avoid the painful consequences. If trouble does occur, then the tablets are taken in loading doses - one every 40-50 minutes. No more than 6 pieces in total.

Attention! Such therapy cannot be combined with sorbents. The effect will be zero. If you really want it activated carbon, then first black tablets, and after 2 hours - white tablets with succinic acid.

Myth No. 2

There is also an opinion that this substance is beneficial for the male reproductive system. Supposedly it is taken to increase sperm activity. But I was unable to find documentary evidence of this theory. As well as another, that succinic acid increases libido in representatives of both sexes. Therefore, I propose to classify these statements as yet another myth.

Is it possible for children

In general, a healthy child’s body does not need additional succinic acid. Schoolchildren do not yet suffer from depression, and their energy is enough for three adults. However, if a child accidentally eats a pill, there is no need to panic.

It is only important to keep in mind that the effect can be quite unexpected - rapid heartbeat, excessive activity, stomach pain. If after half an hour or an hour nothing happened, then there is no need to worry.

In the instructions for use, dietary supplement manufacturers usually note that the drug is approved for use by adolescents over 14 years of age. Therefore, there is no need to prescribe this “vitamin” to your child yourself. Although in some cases the drug may be prescribed by a doctor according to indications.

Succinic acid in cosmetology

The properties of the substance have also attracted interest from the beauty industry. Cosmetologists use amber as a rejuvenating agent.

1. Crushed tablets are mixed with honey to prepare a nourishing mask, or dissolved in water to make facial tonics.
2. Also, honey with crumbs of “amber” tablets can be used as a hand scrub.
3. Often, this composition is used to wrap problem areas or simply vigorously massage them to combat cellulite.
4. YAK is also used to strengthen hair. For this purpose, it is simply taken orally or masks are made by diluting it in warm water. You can also mix amber powder with an egg and olive oil, apply to your hair and keep under a towel. It’s good and easy to rub it into the scalp before washing your hair.

Interesting! In the West, our heroine has never been heard of. However, there is a more popular product there, which is well known in Russia - coenzyme Q10. But, in essence and in action, this is our succinic acid!

In the video you can see how it is more convenient to apply liquid face masks:

Is it effective as a means of losing weight?

Magic pills will probably find their customers as long as flat tummies remain in fashion. Losing weight ladies tend to believe everything that is said confidently and embellished with incomprehensible terms.

And if the miracle remedy is also absolutely natural, and costs a penny, then it would be a sin not to try it at all. Everything is the same as in the case of succinic acid, which is said to promote easy and rapid weight loss. But does it really help? I, like that Baba Yaga who is always against it, strongly doubt this.

Myth No. 3

Important! Succinic acid itself does not burn fat, does not block its absorption and does not speed up metabolism. On the contrary, this substance catalyzes the secretion of gastric juice and increases appetite. Therefore, calling it a weight loss product is imprudent. Alas, we will write down this property as myth No. 3.

But YAC will come in handy during physical activity. Taking it before training increases endurance by accelerating ATP synthesis. In simple words, succinic acid helps you obtain additional energy, which means you can train longer and more effectively.

And there you are already close to losing weight - perhaps these extra 10 minutes on the treadmill are not enough for you to achieve results. But fanaticism is inappropriate here, despite its naturalness and harmlessness.

How to use for plants

Beginning flower growers simply need succinic acid. This substance is sold in the form of a powder or a liquid ready-made product, for example, for orchids. But pharmaceutical tablets can also be used to care for plants, but you cannot make watering solutions for future use.

It is good to water flowers with YAK solution or soak cuttings and roots in it. Moreover, there is no need to be afraid of an “overdose” - the substance disintegrates very quickly in the presence of sunlight and does not accumulate in the soil. You can even spray the leaves of indoor plants with Amber. It cannot be called a fertilizer, but rather a means to stimulate appetite. So, it is used:

• for rooting plants;
• during transplantation;
• to preserve a dying specimen;
• as anti-shock therapy for tropical species.

Succinic acid is not used so often for gardening. Usually to alleviate the plight of heat-loving species in colder climates. In vegetable crops (tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplants), productivity increases after watering with this solution.

Contraindications and harm of the drug

It is believed that an overdose of succinic acid is impossible. It is known that the substance breaks down very quickly and its half-life is only half an hour. The excess is simply not absorbed.

Nevertheless, there is also an opinion that long-term use or excess dosage of succinic acid contributes to the formation of kidney stones. Probably, one should not discount this possibility, especially considering that urolithiasis is among the contraindications to taking the drug.

Taking some sedatives is incompatible with Amber. Therefore, if you take sleeping pills, sedatives, tranquilizers or other similar drugs, it is better to discuss the use of succinic acid with your doctor.

There are other restrictions on taking UC, including:

• stomach and/or intestinal ulcer in the acute phase;
• persistent hypertension;
• ischemic disease and, in particular, angina pectoris;
• late toxicosis in pregnant women.

Individual reactions to the drug and its components are also not excluded. For example, tablets almost always contain glucose (Kvadrat-S, Marbiofarm, Mosbiopharm), which precludes their use for diabetes. There are also preparations with the addition of vitamin C - Elite-Pharm, "Yantar Ka" with the taste of honey from Farmindusti.

Well, it seems that's it. I scared you a little at the end, but I think that no one has any doubts that our heroine plays a significant role in metabolic processes. Therefore, I am finishing the story about the properties of succinic acid and indications for its use. I look forward to your feedback and maybe advice. Good luck to everyone and see you again!

If you have chronic diseases, do not take pills without your doctor's advice.

Succinic acid belongs to dibasic carboxylic acids and is a colorless crystalline substance involved in cellular respiration (biochemical reactions) of living organisms. Therefore, in nature it is found in all plants, animals, amber, and brown coal. It is produced from amber waste or synthetically through chemical reactions. The range of its application is very wide: in crop production, livestock and poultry farming as a growth stimulant and to increase the protective properties of organisms; in the food industry - as an antioxidant, additive E363, which protects products from oxidation, preserves color and extends shelf life; in cosmetology, especially in anti-aging skin care products.

In pharmacology, many drugs contain succinic acid, including in the treatment of cerebral-vascular, cardiovascular disorders, alcohol and other poisonings, radiculitis, anemia, colds and viral diseases. It has been established that it increases the tone and immunity of the body, improves the functioning of the central nervous system, accelerates energy metabolism, and stimulates the synthesis of insulin. With such a “track record,” the question arises: can this remedy be applied to children?

Benefits and harms for children

So is it possible to give this substance to a child? Let's try to evaluate its benefits and harms for children. Succinic acid is not a drug, does not accumulate in the body, is not toxic, and is not addictive. It activates protective resources and accelerates energy exchange in cells.

A healthy person produces approximately 200 g of succinic acid daily, another part comes with the food consumed: pickled vegetables, fermented milk products, cheeses, unripe berries. It is also found in brewer's yeast and aged wines, which are not included in children's diets. In the event of an increase in intellectual or physical stress as a result of sports, stress, or outbreaks of infections, excessive consumption of this substance occurs and its deficiency occurs. The body reacts to this with deterioration of well-being, fatigue, and ailments.

The positive effect of succinic acid in the treatment of pneumonia and bronchial asthma in adults has been experimentally proven, which means it can also cope with seasonal infections in children. It is logical to help a child during the period of their spread for prevention or during illness by resorting to this remedy. After suffering an illness or stress that has depleted the body, it will also not be superfluous to take measures for rehabilitation, restoration of strength and vital activity. And yet the pediatrician must decide, because Only he knows the health status of his patients and can weigh and evaluate all the risks.

Harm from taking the drug occurs in the event of disturbances in the functioning of the digestive organs or allergies. Other obstacles to the use of succinic acid are stones in the urinary system or high blood pressure, which sometimes happens in adolescence.

Succinic acid is necessary for the human body to carry out cellular respiration and produce energy from carbohydrates and fats. With excellent health, it is present in the body in the right quantity.
