Vitamins for the human body play a very important role. Lack of vitamin intake leads to a deterioration in human health, the body’s defenses weaken, which leads to various diseases. As you know, some substances, getting into our body, help each other to work, while others interfere. At the same time, with the right combination, the effect of taking vitamins will be stronger than if you take each of them separately. The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Today we will take a closer look at how the most common vitamins are combined with each other. These include group vitamins – A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E, K. Minerals – iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, calcium, silicon, selenium, phosphorus, zinc.
Taking vitamins and minerals together and their action can be divided into 3 groups:
- “Compatible” means a good combination of vitamins and minerals that work well together to help them absorb and/or enhance their effects.
- “Incompatible” means invalid combinations that should be avoided. The effect of taking these vitamins and minerals will be minimal or even negative. You need to take them individually, with an interval of 4-6 hours.
- “Neutral” means neutral combinations. These vitamins and minerals can be used together or separately.
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin A
Good compatibility with vitamins C and E and the minerals iron, zinc and iodine.
Vitamins C and E protect vitamin A from oxidation;
Vitamin E improves the absorption of vitamin A, but only in cases where vitamin E is not available in large quantities. A large amount of vitamin E, in turn, impairs the absorption of vitamin A;
Zinc improves the absorption of vitamin A, participating in its transformation into the retina;
Vitamin A enhances iron absorption and affects the use of iron stores in the liver;
Poor compatibility with vitamins B12 and K
Under the influence of vitamin A, vitamin B12 becomes inactive;
Vitamins E and A prevent the penetration of vitamin K into cells.
Vitamin B1(Thiamine)
Good compatibility with vitamin B5
Vitamins B1 significantly improves the absorption of vitamin B5.
Poor compatibility with vitamins B2, B3, B6 and B12, as well as with the minerals magnesium and calcium;
Excessive consumption of vitamin B1 is dangerous in itself, due to the often occurring allergic reactions. Co-administration of vitamin B1 with vitamin B12 may increase the allergic reaction;
Vitamins B2 and B3 completely destroy vitamin B1;
Vitamin B6 inhibits the transition of vitamin B1 to a biologically active state;
Magnesium and calcium interfere with the absorption of vitamin B1, significantly reducing its solubility in water.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Good compatibility with vitamins B3, B6, B9 and K and with the mineral zinc.
The transition of vitamins B3, B6, B9 and K into the active form occurs with the participation of vitamin B2;
Vitamin B2 increases the bioavailability of zinc.
Poor compatibility with the minerals iron and copper;
Iron and copper slow down the absorption of vitamin B2.
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin B3 (Pp, Nicotinic Acid)
Good compatibility with iron, copper and vitamins B2, B6 and H.
Copper and vitamin B6 improve the absorption of vitamin B3.
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Good compatibility with vitamins B1, B2, B4, B9, B12 and C.
Vitamins B1 and B2 significantly improves the absorption of vitamin B5;
Vitamin B5 facilitates the absorption of vitamins B4, B9 and C.
Poor compatibility with copper
Copper reduces the activity of vitamin B 5.
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Good compatibility with vitamin B2 and with the minerals copper and zinc.
Vitamin B2 helps vitamin B6 to go into its active form, and magnesium improves its ability to penetrate into cells;
Vitamin B6 reduces the loss of zinc by the body;
Poor compatibility with vitamins B 1 and B 12
Vitamin B 6 prevents the conversion of vitamin B 1 into its active form;
Vitamin B 12 contributes to the destruction of vitamin B 6;
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
Good compatibility with vitamin C.
Vitamin C stores vitamin B9 in body tissues;
Vitamin B6 increases the need for folic acid and possibly vice versa;
The addition of B9 increases the need for B12, and vice versa, because both play a key role in the methylation cycle;
Poor compatibility with zinc
Zinc and folic acid (vitamin B9) together form an insoluble complex that prevents their absorption.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Good compatibility with vitamins B5, B9 and calcium.
Calcium helps the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body.
Poor compatibility with iron, manganese, copper and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C and E
Under the influence of iron, manganese, copper and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C and E, vitamin B12 becomes inactive.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Good compatibility with vitamins A, E, B5 and B9.
The antioxidant effect of vitamin C is enhanced by carotenoids, vitamin E and flavonoids;
Vitamin C restores the activity of vitamin E;
Vitamin C contributes to the preservation of vitamin B9 in tissues;
Vitamin C helps the absorption of calcium and chromium;
Poor compatibility with B1, B12 and copper
When a person takes vitamin C, B12, copper, vitamin B1 in separate tablets and at different times, their maximum concentration in the blood can be reached. This reduces the likelihood of developing negative interactions.

Vitamin D (Calciferol)
Good compatibility with calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin D improves the exchange of phosphorus and calcium in the body.
Poor compatibility with vitamin A and E.
Vitamins E and D must be taken separately, since the first component is poorly absorbed under the influence of another substance;
Vitamin D cannot be combined with A, as they neutralize each other’s action.
The corresponding complexes can be ordered in the Cytoplan online store.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Good compatibility with selenium and vitamin C.
Selenium enhances the antioxidant effect of vitamin E;
Vitamin C restores the functions of vitamin E during oxidation.
Poor compatibility with magnesium, zinc, copper and vitamin D.
To increase the absorption of vitamin E, it should be taken separately from magnesium, zinc, copper and vitamin D.

Vitamin K
Good compatibility with calcium and vitamin B2.
Vitamin K helps calcium build bone tissue in the body.
Vitamin B2 is essential for the conversion of vitamin K into its active form.
Poor compatibility with vitamins E and A.
Vitamins E and A prevent the penetration of vitamin K into the cell.

Calcium
Good compatibility with magnesium, boron and vitamins B6, B12, D and K.
Such a vitamin-mineral complex (calcium, magnesium, boron and vitamins B6, B12, D and K) ensures the best absorption of calcium and reduces its loss by the body. Magnesium should not be in excess, otherwise the result will be the opposite.
Poor compatibility with sodium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, as well as excessive amounts of magnesium.
A large amount of magnesium, iron and phosphorus leads to calcium deficiency;
Calcium itself interferes with the absorption of these minerals.
