And when with a small intake of this trace element with food there is also hypovitaminosis D, then this state develops with even greater speed. Also, the functioning of the thyroid and parathyroid glands affects the metabolism of calcium.
This microelement becomes necessary for such pathologies as allergic changes in the blood clotting system for chronic and acute their course, skin diseases( eczema, psoriasis, etc.).Requires additional calcium intake in the body and such physiological conditions as pregnancy, active growth phases, etc.
General characteristic of

Auxiliary substance is sugar.
Form of the drug "Growth rate"
Photo and instructions indicate that this tool refers to those that are issued only in the form of homeopathic granules.
Pharmacotherapeutic group
To substances that act on metabolic processes in the body, means "Growth-norm".
The instruction for use says that this drug is used to regulate mineral metabolism, optimize the formation of bone tissue in the traumatizing of the musculoskeletal system, anti-inflammatory effect, create conditions for better wound healing, improve the results of surgical interventions( for example, plastic) on the bones, normalizationactivity of the digestive system, flora in the intestine, antiallergic, immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory actions.

Research Data
In children under six months with early clinical signs of rickets, which manifested neurological symptoms( sleep disturbance in the form of its shallow form and lack of duration, anxiety, irritability, sweating in the nape of the neck), positive dynamics in the normalization of metabolic processes were noted against the background of the drug.
After use for the treatment of infants of a drug in the amount of 3 granules before feeding in 1-2 doses per day( without supplementation with vitamin therapy), repeated examinations by children's physicians indicated that almost every child had efficacy. Children have normalized all phases of sleep, decreased irritability, tearfulness. This manifested itself after a week of therapy. From the 3rd week after the beginning of treatment, sweating in the occipital region decreased. Also, moms noted improvement in appetite, normalization of the functioning of the stomach and intestines. In children who suffered from manifestations of exudative-catarrhal form of diathesis, there was a significant positive dynamics in the condition of the skin. The use of the drug in all children was noted for good tolerability. There were no undesirable manifestations during the period of therapy.
Thus, complex treatment with the appointment of this tool in diagnosing manifestations of early rickets( neurological symptoms) has proven to be quite effective. Reduction of pathological manifestations from the central nervous system and autonomic parts of the nervous system was observed.
The drug is well tolerated by patients, it is convenient to use, side effects are extremely rare.
