{"id":3863,"count":26,"description":"Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common globally \u2014 even in food-secure populations, low vitamin D, B12, iron, and calcium intake affect a substantial share of adults, with higher rates in pregnancy, vegetarians, vegans, post-bariatric patients, the elderly, and patients on long-term metformin, PPIs, or anticonvulsants. The MedsBase Vitamins and Minerals catalogue carries 25 products<\/strong> covering single-vitamin, single-mineral, and multivitamin formulations supplied by WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten<\/strong>.\n\nVitamin D and calcium.<\/strong> Vitamin D deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) sachets at high dose (60,000 IU once weekly for 8 weeks then monthly maintenance) are available as Calcirol<\/a>. Intramuscular cholecalciferol depot 6,00,000 IU for severe deficiency (single annual injection in selected cases) is stocked as Arachitol 6L Injectie<\/a>. Activated vitamin D (alfacalcidol, for chronic kidney disease\u2013related deficiency where renal 1-\u03b1-hydroxylation is impaired) is available as Alphadol<\/a>. Calcium carbonate \/ citrate combinations with vitamin D for postmenopausal bone health are stocked as Cipcal<\/a> en Topcal M<\/a> (with magnesium and vitamin D). The bisphosphonate alendronate for osteoporosis treatment is listed as Osteofos<\/a>.\n\nVitamin B12 and B-complex.<\/strong> Vitamin B12 deficiency causes macrocytic anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, glossitis, and (in severe cases) subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. High-dose oral cyanocobalamin 1500 \u00b5g works via passive diffusion (1% absorption is sufficient at these doses, bypassing intrinsic-factor dependence) and is non-inferior to monthly IM in pernicious anaemia. We stock Vitamin B12 1500 \u00b5g<\/a>. Methylcobalamin IM injection for rapid replacement and diabetic neuropathy adjunct is available as Walcobal Injectie<\/a>. Multi-B-complex parenteral and oral options include Polybion Ampul<\/a>, Beplex Forte<\/a>, en Becozinc<\/a> (B-complex with zinc). Thiamine 100 mg (alcohol-related neuropathy, Wernicke prophylaxis, beriberi) is stocked as Thiamine HCL 100<\/a>.\n\nVitamin A.<\/strong> Chewable vitamin A is available as Vitamine A Kauwtablet<\/a> for documented deficiency (xerophthalmia, night blindness in malnutrition, post-bariatric malabsorption). Note: long-term high-dose vitamin A is teratogenic in pregnancy and hepatotoxic \u2014 supplementation should be guided by blood levels, not taken indefinitely as \"general health\".\n\nVitamin C and antioxidants.<\/strong> High-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) for deficiency, wound healing adjunct, and as antioxidant is available as Celin<\/a> and the C + zinc + multi-mineral combination C Vitan Z<\/a>. Reduced glutathione (the major intracellular antioxidant; oral and IV use for non-alcoholic fatty liver and as adjunct in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy) is stocked as L-Glutathione<\/a> en L-Glutathione 250mg<\/a>.\n\nVitamin E and vitamin K.<\/strong> Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol \u2014 antioxidant role; excess linked to bleeding risk and reduced statin benefit) is included in the multivitamin Multivite Gold<\/a> and the topical E-Vitan Hair Oil<\/a>. Vitamin K1 (phytomenadione \u2014 antidote to warfarin overdose, neonatal vitamin K prophylaxis, severe vitamin K deficiency in malabsorption \/ cholestasis) is stocked as Kenadion Injection<\/a>.\n\nIron preparations.<\/strong> Oral iron (ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate) for iron-deficiency anaemia is available as Fesovit<\/a> (ferrous fumarate + vitamin C + B-complex) and Feronia-XT<\/a>. Take on an empty stomach for best absorption (1 hour before food) with vitamin C; expect dark stools. If GI tolerance is poor, alternate-day dosing improves absorption efficiency and tolerability per recent trials.\n\nMultivitamins and minerals.<\/strong> Comprehensive multivitamin formulations include Multivite Gold<\/a> and the metabolism \/ methylation-support combination Metabolis<\/a>. The high-vitamin \/ mineral cardiovascular adjunct Cheri<\/a> is also stocked.\n\nL-Tyrosine + Iodine supplement.<\/strong> The Thyropace<\/a> capsule contains L-tyrosine plus iodine and is sold as a thyroid-supportive nutritional supplement. Important \u2014 Thyropace is NOT a replacement for levothyroxine<\/strong> in diagnosed hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's, post-thyroidectomy, post-radioiodine), and may worsen autoimmune thyroiditis flares because of the iodine load. It may help only in documented mild iodine deficiency (now rare in iodised-salt countries) or as a vegan-diet adjunct. Patients with confirmed hypothyroidism should be on levothyroxine \u2014 see our Underactive Thyroid Treatment category.\n\nHoe te kiezen.<\/strong> Confirmed deficiency (laboratory documented) \u2192 targeted single-vitamin or single-mineral replacement at therapeutic dose, then maintenance. Suspected deficiency in high-risk populations (pregnancy, vegan diet, post-bariatric, elderly, long-term metformin or PPI, alcohol use disorder) \u2192 check levels and replace specifically. General health \"insurance\" \u2192 modest-dose multivitamin once daily is reasonable, but megadose single vitamins are not benign (vitamin A teratogenicity, vitamin E + bleeding risk, beta-carotene + lung-cancer signal in smokers, calcium + cardiovascular signal at high supplemental doses).\n\nBelangrijk.<\/strong> Take iron and calcium 4 hours apart from levothyroxine, fluoroquinolones, and tetracyclines \u2014 chelation reduces absorption of all parties. Vitamin K supplementation conflicts with warfarin \u2014 patients on warfarin should keep vitamin K intake stable (no sudden multivitamin starts or stops). Pregnancy: folic acid 400\u2013800 \u00b5g daily from 3 months pre-conception through first trimester is mandatory; iodine and vitamin D continued throughout; vitamin A supplementation is restricted (retinol >700 \u00b5g \/ day teratogenic).\n\nAll MedsBase Vitamins and Minerals products ship from WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten<\/strong> met discrete wereldwijde verzending en vallen onder onze Reshipment Assurance Policy<\/a>.","link":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/vitamins-and-minerals\/","name":"Vitaminen en mineralen","slug":"vitamins-and-minerals","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":3342,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/3863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/3342"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=3863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
