Succinic acid - properties, benefits for various diseases, instructions for use (tablets, capsules, solution, powder), weight loss using succinic acid preparations, reviews, price
Thank you
Succinic acid is a natural metabolite produced in the human body and necessary for the normal processes of cellular respiration and the formation of energy from fats and carbohydrates. That is, succinic acid is normally always present in the cells of any organs and systems.
Succinic acid, produced in the form of tablets, is identical in structure and function to that produced by the cells of all organs and tissues, therefore, when this metabolite is taken orally, it quickly enters the cells and enters into biochemical reactions, significantly accelerating fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.
Succinic acid - release forms, composition and general characteristics
Succinic acid in everyday life is often abbreviated as “yantarka” and is produced under several commercial names (Cogitum, Succinic acid, Yantavit, Mitomin, Enerlit, etc.) in four dosage forms - pills, capsules, injection solution And powder. Tablets and capsules are the most common dosage forms of succinic acid. The injection solution is available only under the commercial name Cogitum. In addition, there is a powder for preparing an oral solution, which is sold under the name “Succinic Acid” and, in addition, can be used for the manufacture of tablets and capsules. In fact, succinic acid powder is a purified and standardized substance that can be used in pharmaceutical factories to produce tablets and capsules or used to prepare an oral solution.
Composed of tablets, capsules, solution and powder includes either pure succinic acid or its compounds, which in the body are easily converted directly into “amber”. In terms of the degree of effectiveness and severity of therapeutic action, succinic acid and its compounds do not differ from each other. Therefore, in the further text of the article we will use the name “Succinic acid” for all medicines containing either “amber” itself or its derivatives as an active substance, and produced under various commercial names.
As a chemical compound, succinic acid is a metabolite, that is, a substance that is formed in the body during biochemical reactions and is used for subsequent transformations. Normally, succinic acid is present in every cell of the body, since it is one of the metabolites formed during the so-called Krebs cycle.
During this cycle, the adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP) molecule is formed from carbohydrates and fats, which is a universal source of energy for all cells. The fact is that cells receive energy for their needs not directly from carbohydrates and fats, but indirectly, through their conversion into the ATP molecule, which is a kind of universal energy substrate. The role of the ATP molecule can be compared to gasoline, which is a universal fuel for many types of transport and is produced from oil. By analogy, we can say that the fats, proteins and carbohydrates entering the body are crude oil, from which the cells of all organs and tissues produce gasoline (ATP), which is used by these same cellular structures.
Without ATP, cells cannot live because energy is needed for various processes, including respiration and elimination of waste. And since succinic acid is involved in the ATP formation cycle, it plays a very important role in providing cells with the energy necessary for their needs.
Properties of Succinic acid (action)
Succinic acid is antioxidant And immunomodulator. It has metabolic, antihypoxic and antioxidant effects. Metabolic action consists in the fact that a finished substance enters the cells and enters the Krebs cycle, during which ATP is produced. This effect allows the cells of all organs to receive more energy for their needs, and, therefore, work more efficiently and better.
Antihypoxic effect succinic acid is that it improves tissue respiration, that is, the transfer of oxygen from the blood into the cells and its utilization. Antioxidant action "amber" is that it neutralizes free radicals that damage cell structures and lead to their death. In addition, due to its antioxidant effect, succinic acid slows down the growth of malignant tumors.
Also succinic acid and its compounds ( succinates) have the properties of adaptogens, that is, they improve the body’s overall resistance to negative environmental influences, such as stress, viruses, bacteria, strong psycho-emotional and physical stress, etc.
Succinic acid has the above effects on the cells of any organs and tissues, without exception, and therefore improves the condition and functioning of the entire body as a whole. However, the most pronounced improvement when taking succinic acid is noted in the functioning of the brain and heart, since these organs use the largest 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 functioning of various organs and systems:
- Improves nutrition of the brain and heart, creating optimal conditions for their work;
- Accelerates the neutralization of various toxic substances in the liver, due to which any intoxication while taking succinic acid lasts much shorter than without it;
- Reduces the risk of developing malignant tumors;
- Reduces the rate of tumor growth;
- Increases the body's resistance to infections, stress and other adverse environmental influences;
- Stimulates insulin production;
- Increases work efficiency and increases the supply of oxygen to the cells of the nervous system;
- Enhances the therapeutic effects of medications, making it possible to significantly reduce the dosage and duration of treatment for various diseases;
- Stops the development and maintenance of the inflammatory process, including allergic ones, thereby accelerating recovery from chronic diseases;
- Improves blood microcirculation in peripheral tissues (arms, legs, etc.);
- It has excellent antidepressant properties, helping to relieve irritation, anxiety, fears and negative emotions;
- Relieves chronic inflammatory processes in the genitourinary organs.
Thus, succinic acid is a very useful dietary supplement that promotes the transition to optimal functioning of all organs and tissues.
The benefits of succinic acid for various diseases
Based on clinical studies, it was found that succinic acid preparations, used as part of complex therapy for various diseases, increase the effectiveness of basic drugs, lengthen the period of remission and make it possible to reduce the dosage and duration of treatment.Succinic acid for ischemic heart disease, hypertension (hypertension) and atherosclerosis of leg vessels
The addition of succinic acid drugs to treatment regimens for chronic ischemic heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels can significantly reduce the amount and dosage of drugs, as well as shorten the duration of therapy. As independent remedies, succinic acid preparations can be used instead of nitrates (Nitroglycerin, Nitrosorbitol, etc.) to relieve angina attacks. As a rule, dissolving Succinic Acid tablets effectively relieves angina attacks in most patients, which allows them to reduce the amount and frequency of their use of nitrates.
The inclusion of Succinic acid tablets in the treatment regimen for coronary heart disease and hypertension significantly improves overall well-being, reduces the frequency and duration of angina attacks, pressure surges, extrasystoles and tachycardia, and also reduces the severity of shortness of breath and edema. Such positive changes occur on average after 10 - 20 days of taking Succinic acid, which allows, after this period, to reduce the dosage of basic medications (beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, cardiac glycosides, Prestarium, Aspirin, etc.).
Also, thanks to the inclusion of Amber Acid in the treatment regimen, many patients with coronary artery disease, hypertension and vascular atherosclerosis, after 15-20 days of regular use of “Amber”, diuretics are discontinued, since swelling becomes less pronounced, and the need for their use disappears.
Currently, it is recommended to include succinic acid in treatment regimens for ischemic heart disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels in the following quantities: 1 tablet 1 – 2 times a day after meals. 15 - 20 days after starting to take Succinic acid, it is necessary to conduct a re-examination to adjust the dosage of medications and cancel unnecessary ones based on the person’s condition.
The positive result of including Succinic Acid tablets in treatment regimens for coronary artery disease, hypertension and atherosclerosis is confirmed by objective examination data. Thus, an improvement in coronary circulation and normalization of heart rate is recorded on the ECG, and cholesterol levels in the blood are reduced and the content of high- and low-density lipid fractions is normalized.
Succinic acid for cerebral atherosclerosis and discirculatory encephalopathy
For cerebral atherosclerosis and dyscirculatory encephalopathy, succinic acid preparations in combination with other medications can significantly improve treatment results. Thus, the best therapeutic effect for these diseases was found with the combined use of Succinic acid in combination with Nootropil, Cavinton, Stugeron, Picamilon and Phezam. The first improvements appear after 3 - 5 days, and after a full 2 - 3 month course, people experience a significant reduction in the manifestations of sclerotic symptoms, due to which dizziness and headaches appear much less frequently and have a lower intensity, and also improves sleep, memory, mood and concentration attention. It is optimal to take Succinic acid 1 tablet 1 – 2 times a day in combination with other medications throughout the entire course of treatment. In addition, drugs for the treatment of encephalopathy and cerebral atherosclerosis cannot be taken continuously; after completing one course of therapy, a break must be taken before repeating. During such breaks, people's well-being deteriorates significantly. However, if, in the intervals between repeated courses of therapy, Succinic acid is taken in combination with Tanakan or dietary supplements containing Ginkgo biloba extracts, then people’s condition worsens slightly, which allows them to endure a break in treatment relatively easily. In between courses of therapy, it is recommended to take 1 tablet of Succinic acid once a day.
... for obliterating atherosclerosis and chronic venous insufficiency
For these diseases, the inclusion of succinic acid in the treatment regimen leads to a decrease in the severity of pain and chilliness in the legs, a decrease in the frequency and duration of muscle spasms (including cramps), as well as restoration of sensitivity in the extremities. These positive effects are best achieved by combining Succinic acid with Heparin ointment, Lyoton, Fastum-gel, Trental, Agapurin and foot baths. In such cases, it is recommended to take succinic acid 1 tablet 1 – 2 times a day in combination with other medications.... for osteochondrosis and deforming osteoarthritis
For these diseases, even the isolated use of succinic acid preparations significantly improves the condition of the joints and overall well-being. Thus, pain and swelling in the joint area decrease, deformation becomes less pronounced, and range of motion increases. For osteochondrosis and deforming osteoarthritis, it is recommended to take Succinic acid 1 tablet 2 times a day for 2 – 3 months.... for chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma
The use of Succinic acid preparations for chronic bronchitis and asthma during periods of remission at a dosage of 0.5 - 1.5 g per day led to an improvement in well-being and lengthened the intervals between attacks. To achieve a positive result, Succinic acid must be taken for a month. ...for acute respiratory infections and colds
Taking Succinic acid 1 tablet 2 times a day for 2 - 3 weeks during periods of seasonal epidemics of respiratory diseases prevents human infection, and even if it does occur, the disease is much easier and recovery occurs faster.Taking Succinic acid in the first days of influenza or acute respiratory viral infection in high doses of 3 - 4 tablets 1 - 2 times a day leads to aborting the infection and complete recovery within several days. However, it is necessary to take Succinic acid carefully in this way, since it can provoke a short-term sharp increase in body temperature. And if the temperature is already above 38 o C, then even a short-term even greater increase can lead to adverse consequences.
Succinic acid in geriatrics (in the treatment of older people)
In older people (over 70 years old), the metabolic rate and energy production in cells significantly slow down, which causes dystrophic changes in various organs and tissues and a deterioration in their functioning. Such changes are senile and develop in the body of all people who have reached old age. Succinic acid activates the process of metabolism and energy production in cells, and therefore reduces the rate of senile changes in the body, maintaining the functioning of organs at a “younger” level. That is why Succinic acid slows down aging, significantly improves the quality and increases the life expectancy of older people.Due to this “rejuvenating” effect, Succinic acid is recommended for all people over 55 years of age to take in regular courses, 1 tablet per day after meals for 1 to 2 months. In addition, you can take Succinic Acid according to a different scheme: take 1 tablet once a day for 3 days, take a break on the fourth day, etc. In addition, to strengthen the immune system in older people, the combination of Succinic acid in the indicated dosages with probiotics, such as Bifikol, Baktisubtil, Bifidumbacterin, etc., is very effective.
Succinic acid preparations are also recommended to be included in complex therapy received by older people for their existing chronic diseases, since it allows reducing treatment time, dosages and the number of medications. And since people over 55 years of age, as a rule, have quite a lot of chronic diseases, reducing the number of medications they need, as well as their dosages, is an excellent effect of Succinic Acid, which makes it possible to improve the quality of life, reduce spending on medications and eliminate difficult to tolerate actions.
What are the benefits of succinic acid, what role does it play in the human body - video
Succinic acid preparations
Currently, there are two groups of drugs containing succinic acid as an active ingredient: medicines and biologically active additives (dietary supplements). Medicines are intended for treatment and have clear indications for use, in the absence of which they cannot be used to avoid negative consequences. As a rule, in addition to succinic acid, medications also contain other active components, which together provide the optimal therapeutic effect of the drug. However, there is also a medicinal product containing only succinic acid in dissolved form as an active component. This is the drug Cogitum, intended for the treatment of asthenia, depression, neuroses and fatigue, as well as to eliminate the negative effects of antidepressants.
Complex medicinal preparations containing not only succinic acid but also other substances as active components are the following:
- Influnet (indicated to relieve symptoms of flu, colds and acute respiratory infections);
- Limontar (indicated for increasing resistance to infections in pregnant women, as well as for complex treatment of alcoholism, withdrawal from binge drinking and elimination of hangover syndrome);

Succinic acid - instructions for use
Succinic acid preparations in the form of tablets and capsules are taken orally during or immediately after meals, washed down with a sufficient amount of clean still water or milk (one glass is enough). The powder is diluted in clean water and the resulting solution is also drunk during or after meals. Cogitum solution is administered by injection. Optimal daily dosage Succinic acid for oral administration is 1.0 g (2 tablets). It is recommended to divide the daily dosage into two doses. However, if this is not possible, then you can take the entire daily dosage of Succinic Acid at one time. The last dose of Succinic acid preparations should be no later than 18.00 hours, since they have an activating effect and can provoke excessive arousal, against the background of which it will be difficult to fall asleep.
Tablets can be taken 1 piece (0.5 g) 2 times a day or 1/2 tablet (0.25 g) 3 times a day. These dosage regimens are used for various diseases and conditions for which it is indicated or recommended. The duration of use of Succinic acid is determined by the type of disease and ranges from 4 – 5 weeks to 2 – 3 months. If necessary, courses of use of Succinic acid can be repeated, maintaining intervals between them with a minimum duration of 2 - 3 weeks.
To maintain a normal quality of life and performance, older people can take Succinic acid as follows: drink 1 tablet 1-2 times a day for three days, take a break on the fourth day. Then take the drug again for three days with a break on the fourth, etc.
Taking succinic acid accelerates the neutralization of acetaldehyde, as a result of which the hangover syndrome quickly passes and health improves.
In order to eliminate a hangover, Amber Acid can be taken in two ways - on the eve of the feast and in the morning after it ends. If you decide to take Amber Acid on the eve of a feast, then this should be done 2 hours before you start drinking alcoholic beverages. In this case, you need to take two tablets at a time. Succinic acid will reduce the degree of intoxication and prevent a hangover the next morning.
If you decide to relieve a hangover after a feast, then in this case you need to drink 2 tablets of Succinic acid immediately after waking up. Then, every 50 minutes, if necessary, you can take another tablet. In total, you can take no more than 6 tablets of Succinic acid per day. The effect of the drug occurs in approximately 30 – 40 minutes.
. As an enriching component, crushed Succinic Acid tablets are added to any cosmetic products - masks, creams, tonics, etc. It is optimal to add 2 tablets (1 g) for every 100 ml of cosmetic product. Then the finished composition is used in the usual way.
As an independent facial product, succinic acid is used to prepare a mask. To do this, crush 2 tablets (1 g) and add a tablespoon of water to the powder. When the mixture dissolves, it is applied to the face and left until completely absorbed without rinsing off. Such masks can be done 1 – 2 times a week, depending on the oiliness of the skin (the oilier the skin, the more often masks are needed).
Side effects and contraindications (in what cases can succinic acid cause harm?)
As side effects, Succinic acid can cause the following symptoms:- Gastralgia (pain in the stomach);
- Hypersecretion of gastric juice;
- Increased blood pressure.
- Hypersensitivity to drug components;
- Uncontrolled arterial hypertension;
- Uncontrolled angina;
- Exacerbation stage
Succinic acid (butanedioic) is an organic compound that is involved in cellular respiration of living organisms and promotes the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
The substance was first obtained in the 17th century from amber. Today, the acid is produced on an industrial scale by hydrogenating maleic anhydrite. Its salts and esters are called succinates.
Succinic acid is colorless crystals, highly soluble in water and alcohol, insoluble in chloroform, gasoline, and benzene. The melting point of the compound is –185 degrees Celsius, and when it reaches 235 degrees it turns into succinic anhydride.
The substance has strong antioxidant properties, neutralizes free radicals, improves brain, liver, heart function, strengthens the immune system, prevents the development of malignant tumors, inhibits inflammatory processes, lowers blood sugar, restores the functioning of the nervous system, neutralizes poisons, dissolves kidney stones.
Succinic acid in combination with glucose is used by athletes to keep the body in good shape during competitions.
The chemical formula of the compound is C4H6O4.
It is used in pharmaceuticals (for the production of quinolithine), food industry (as an E363 additive), analytical chemistry, in the production of plastics and resins.
Daily requirement
Without succinic acid, the human body cannot exist. It is interesting that the compound and its derivatives are participants in metabolic processes, an intermediate product of the reaction of saccharides, complex fats, etc. Every day, the human body produces 200 grams of acid per day, which is used to maintain life cycles.
The interaction of succinates with oxygen is accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy necessary to accelerate metabolism and maintain physical activity.
To determine the body's daily need for succinic acid, a person's body weight must be multiplied by 0.03 grams. The resulting product will be considered an individual norm recommended for daily use.
Interestingly, succinic acid does not cause addiction or allergies, because it is present in the human body almost all the time. Studies have shown that the compound is a natural adaptogen. It increases the body's resistance to adverse environmental influences.
Factors that increase the need of internal organs for succinic acid:
- Colds. They create an additional burden on the human immune system, and the substance accelerates the connection of cells. Therefore, during illness, acid consumption should be increased.
- Sport. The amber supplement stimulates the endocrine system and promotes rapid recovery of muscle tissue after intense training.
- Hangover. Additional intake of the compound facilitates the functioning of the liver and kidneys during detoxification of the body.
- Allergy. Consuming succinic acid reduces the production of natural histamine.
- Heart failure. The product supplies the cells of the muscle organ with additional energy.
- To stimulate brain function (improves oxygen supply).
- Chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Skin problems (dermatitis, acne, inflammation).
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Excess body weight.
- Old age, when the body loses the ability to independently replenish the level of succinic acid in the body.
The need for connection is reduced when:
- hypertension;
- urolithiasis;
- glaucoma;
- individual intolerance;
- duodenal ulcer;
- coronary heart disease;
- hypersecretion of gastric juice.
Thus, the daily need for succinic acid directly depends on the energy and labor costs of the body. The most complete absorption of the compound is achieved through organization, proper daily routine, and optimal physical activity. If these factors are observed, succinic acid is maximally absorbed in the human body.
Useful properties
Since ancient times, people have worn jewelry made of amber resin, which was believed to protect its owner from evil spirits and heal from illnesses. The miraculous properties of the sun stone are still known today. However, not everyone knows that succinic acid, which improves health and strengthens the immune system, is to blame.
Ancestors used amber to slow down the aging process and rid the body of ailments. In the twentieth century, scientists seriously began to study the healing properties of the compound. As a result of research, doctors discovered that acid removes toxins from the body, increases its resistance to infectious diseases, relieves hangover syndrome, and restores the functioning of internal organs, especially after irradiation.
Useful properties of succinic acid:
- Regulates cellular respiration, promotes rapid movement and absorption of vitamins and minerals, which ensures the strengthening and normal functioning of body tissues.
- Normalizes the functioning of the adrenal glands and hypothalamus.
- Reduces the harmful effects of stress, restores the nervous system.
- Increases body tone, improves concentration, gives strength, vigor, and increases labor productivity.
- Strengthens the body's protective reserve, helps resist viral diseases and nervous disorders.
- Maintains water-salt metabolism within normal limits, accelerates fat burning, allows you to lose extra pounds, maintaining body weight at the desired level.
- Absorbs dangerous toxins, including after ethyl poisoning.
- Fights colonies of pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal flora.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Prevents the growth of tumor cells.
- Regulates the functioning of the heart muscle and normal cholesterol levels in the body.
- Fights feverish conditions, inflammation, swelling.
Thus, succinic acid has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, tonic, restorative, antiviral, strengthening, antihypoxic and antiallergic effects on the human body.
Indications for use
Succinic acid is an intracellular metabolite of the Krebs cycle. The substance plays an important energy-synthesizing role. Under the influence of succinate dehydrogenase with the participation of coenzyme FAD, the compound is biotransformed into fumaric acid, metabolic products. In addition, it activates electron transport in mitochondria, which improves tissue respiration.
The widespread use of succinic acid in medicine is due to its ability to increase gastric gland secretions, diastolic blood pressure, improve muscle contractility, and stimulate adaptive, compensatory and protective functions of the body. When taken orally, the compound penetrates from the gastrointestinal tract into the tissues and blood and enters into catabolic reactions. Complete breakdown of succinic acid to the final products of metabolism (water, carbon dioxide) occurs within half an hour.
Indications for use of the compound in the form of a dietary supplement:
- Nervous disorders, depression, severe stress, anxiety - to reduce irritability and relaxation.
- Working with devices that emit an electromagnetic field - to neutralize the harmful effects of waves in a dangerous range.
- Weakness, emotional stress, increased fatigue - to increase vitality and energy.
- Increased blood clotting - to eliminate the likelihood of thrombosis.
- Stomach and intestinal disorders, to normalize the microflora.
- Respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis) - to remove mucus from the bronchi and relieve swelling.
- As an adjuvant for venous diseases - to normalize blood flow and strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
- Work that requires strong mental stress - to speed up thought processes, reaction, and intelligence.
- When planning pregnancy - to stimulate the reproductive function.
- Taking antibiotics - to reduce the likelihood of side effects from the drug.
- Increased physical activity, cardio training to speed up metabolism and recharge your energy.
- Swelling, inflammation - to fight pathogens, remove excess water from the body, relieve fever.
- Diets - to restore water-salt balance, accelerate the fat burning process, compensate for the lack of minerals with a limited diet.
- Physical inactivity – to eliminate signs of oxygen deficiency in the body (increased fatigue, tinnitus, headache).
- Endocrine diseases - to reduce the concentration of glucose in the blood, normalize the activity of the thyroid gland.
- Toxicosis during pregnancy (up to 18 weeks inclusive) - to prevent dehydration, compensate for deficiency, and improve absorption of nutrients.
- ARVI, influenza during the season - to mobilize immune forces.
- Alcohol intoxication - to normalize blood pressure, remove toxic products of ethyl breakdown, improve well-being, maintain water-salt balance.
- Gynecological diseases - to relieve inflammation, improve tissue regeneration.
- Cosmetology – for skin rejuvenation, activation of metabolic processes, restoration of hair structure.
- Heart disease – for better supply of coronary vessels.
Thus, succinic acid has a wide spectrum of action, due to which it has a beneficial effect on the functioning of all body systems and internal organs, without causing discomfort or addiction.
Harm and contraindications
Despite the uniqueness of this natural component, succinic acid, as a dietary supplement, cannot be taken by everyone.
Contraindications to use of the compound:
- Gastric ulcer, especially during exacerbation. Taking succinic acid will increase the secretion of gastric juice, which will aggravate the painful condition.
- Urolithiasis (urolithiasis). When entering the body, the supplement accelerates metabolic processes, which entails the progression of the process of stone formation.
- Hypertension. Acid stimulates blood circulation, which leads to an increase in blood pressure and aggravation of the patient’s condition.
- Take the supplement at night (less than an hour and a half before bedtime). The compound has a tonic effect on the body and improves human brain activity; using the drug at a late time causes insomnia and increased excitability of the nervous system.
- Individual intolerance to a medicinal drug. Hypersensitivity to the components of succinic acid can cause the development of a severe allergic reaction requiring hospitalization.
- Angina pectoris. To avoid pain and complications of the disease (heart block, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia), it is recommended not to create an increased load on the heart muscle, which is caused by taking an organic compound.
- Severe form of late gestosis.
- Eye diseases, in particular glaucoma.
- Renal dysfunction.
Although succinic acid is not a medicine, consult your doctor before taking a supplement. Any self-medication is contraindicated, since if the dosage is incorrect, the drug can harm human health.
What are the dangers of deficiency and overdose?
In the human body, the deficiency of succinates directly depends on the growth of megacities and the environmental situation. The larger the city and the worse the environmental condition, the greater the amount of succinic acid required to maintain the vital functions of internal organs and systems.
Reasons for lack of succinates in the body:
- nervous, stressful situations;
- emotional, physical stress;
- difficult environmental situation;
- technogenic factors;
- high level of noise pollution in the city.
When these factors occur, the human body begins to consume succinic acid in increased quantities. As a result, 200 milligrams of the compound produced by the internal organs to maintain the life cycle becomes insufficient, and tension appears in the metabolic chain.
Signs of a compound deficiency:
- weight gain;
- “accelerated” aging process;
- decreased immunity;
- fatigue;
- poor brain function;
- lack of energy;
- weakness;
- decreased performance;
- skin problems.
Consequences of a lack of succinic acid in the body:
- general malaise;
- decreased tone;
- loss of strength;
- slow reaction to external stimuli;
- formation of free radicals.
An overdose of succinic acid in the body is extremely rare. With an excessive intake of the compound with drugs, the gastric mucosa becomes inflamed, the condition of the tooth enamel worsens (microcracks appear on it), and urolithiasis and ulcers worsen.
If acid vapors are inhaled or the liquid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, it does not pose a threat to human health. May cause irritation and allergic reaction. If the compound gets into your eyes, rinse the affected area with water for half an hour; if you are poisoned by vapors, go out into fresh air, then consult a doctor.
The effect of succinic acid on pregnancy
During pregnancy, succinates promote proper restructuring of the hormonal system, strengthen the immune system, and prevent toxicosis in the expectant mother.
Thanks to the ability to influence cellular respiration, succinic acid ensures a complete supply of oxygen and nutrients to the baby, protects the embryo from toxins, viruses, and bacteria.
Numerous studies have shown that regular intake of an organic compound during pregnancy halves the risk of developing gestosis, minimizes the likelihood of complications, and facilitates labor.
In addition, succinic acid potentiates milk production in the mother during lactation and is effectively used to protect the female body from colpitis, cervical erosion, ovarian cysts, fibroids, fibroids, endometriosis, and mastopathy. The compound is used in the treatment of infertility associated with adhesions in the pelvis. The healing effect of amber is based on its “absorbing” function, inhibition of pathological cell division. Acid improves blood circulation and increases energy exchange in tissues. Thanks to this, the body’s recovery occurs faster and treatment is more effective.
Succinic acid will help prepare a woman’s body in advance for bearing a child. Regular intake of a dietary supplement at the stage of pregnancy planning will strengthen the health of the expectant mother, give a joyful feeling of life, add strength, reduce fatigue, lay the foundation for the baby’s health, and relieve toxicosis. As a result, the “interesting situation” will be endured as comfortably as possible, without suffering and painful adjustments.
Succinic acid in medicine
There are the following forms of release of the drug:
- tablets (active ingredient content: 0.1 grams/piece);
- powder (the amount of succinic acid in the preparation depends on the packaging volume).
The dosage and method of using the supplement depend on the purpose of use.
To strengthen the body, improve well-being, and normalize the functioning of internal organs, the standard course of therapy is to take one gram of powder or one tablet of succinic acid per day for a month. If there is no positive dynamics after the end of the course, the daily dose should be tripled. It should be divided into three times and taken at equal time intervals. An important condition is to take a break for a day every three days. This will relieve the body and avoid overdose.
Regimen for taking the supplement depending on the purpose:
- To neutralize lactic acid and quickly restore muscles after intense sports, it is recommended to take a solution of succinic acid (dissolve three grams of powder in 200 milliliters of water) or four tablets of the compound.
- For myositis, to relieve inflammation, you need to take two tablets of the compound three times a day for a week.
- For hypertension, succinic acid is administered intravenously through a dropper, observing the proportions: 35 milligrams of the substance per kilogram of the patient’s body weight.
- To relieve symptoms of alcohol intoxication, take 5 carbon compound tablets during the day, one each hour.
- For toxicosis, succinic acid is prescribed half a tablet daily.
- As an auxiliary component to the main treatment, succinates are used for cancer. The recommended daily dose of succinic acid is 5 – 10 tablets, depending on the patient’s condition. In severe cases, it increases to 20 tablets per day. For maximum absorption of the drug, it is recommended to combine it with freshly squeezed berry and fruit juices.
- To ease the well-being of patients with atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities and coronary heart disease, it is recommended to take succinic acid 2 times a day, 1 tablet after meals. Including the drug in the diet reduces the severity of shortness of breath, swelling, pressure surges, and the frequency of angina attacks.
- For acute respiratory viral infections, succinic acid is taken in the first days of disease progression, 3 tablets 1 – 2 times a day. Taking the compound in high doses helps to abort the infection, quickly improve health, and complete recovery in 2 to 3 days. The drug should be taken with caution, as it can cause a sharp increase in body temperature for a short period of time. Therefore, if the patient’s temperature has already reached 38 degrees, in order to avoid worsening the condition and increasing t to a critical level, it is undesirable to use suxalates.
- For obliterating atherosclerosis, deforming osteoarthritis, chronic venous insufficiency and osteochondrosis, succinic acid, in combination with the main treatment, is taken 1 tablet twice a day. The compound improves the condition of the joints, reduces the severity of pain, and restores sensitivity in the limbs.
Succinic acid is used in geriatrics to treat older people. It is known that after 60 years, the production of energy in cells and the metabolic rate slow down in pensioners, which causes a deterioration in the functioning of organs and dystrophic changes in them. Succinic acid slows down the rate of aging processes in the body, supports the functioning of all tissues and systems at a “younger” level. In addition, it activates energy production, metabolism, increases life expectancy, improving its quality.
Due to its “rejuvenating” effect, acid is recommended to be taken in regular courses by all persons over 55 years of age. Duration of therapy is 1 – 2 months. Taking one tablet of succinic acid daily immediately after a meal will strengthen the immune system and slow down aging changes in the body.
Currently, scientists have come to the conclusion that the cause of the development of a malignant tumor is not a mutation of cells, but the improper functioning of mitochondria, which changes their metabolism and energy exchange. Researchers have differing opinions on this matter. Half of the scientists believe that this process is reversible and, under the influence of a large amount of fruit acids, cancer cells can be restored to their original appearance and health. Other adherents of the "classical theory" argue that this is impossible.
Thus, a group of scientists who founded the theory of restoration of modified cells, in the course of research, found that fruit acids normalize the state of damaged mitochondria. As a result, the growth of cancer cells and tumors stops.
In the process of laboratory research, it was found that succinic acid and its component DCA stimulate the mitochondrial enzyme. Due to this, the growth of cancer cells is reduced without the inhibitory effect of the compound on healthy cells.
According to the Institute of Biophysics of the Russian Ministry of Health, in a group of patients with cervical and colon cancer, after regular administration of succinic acid, a vitamin-mineral complex of plant origin in the diet, a strict diet, and a daily routine, mortality decreased by 80%.
Among patients with ovarian cancer, the number of deaths after intensive treatment with succinates and medicinal herbs decreased by 90%, and with a breast tumor - by 60%.
Based on experimentally obtained data, scientists came to the conclusion that succinic acid slows down the growth of malignant tumors. An integrated approach to treating cancer using standard methods (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery) with the addition of succinates to the main diet triples the chances of recovery. In addition, succinic acid eliminates toxicoses that accompany oncology throughout the entire period of treatment.
Succinic acid and sports
The compound has a beneficial effect on the body of athletes whose immune systems are weakened after intense sports. Succinic acid restores the athlete’s defenses, supplies the heart with energy and oxygen, and, together with glucose, relieves pain in overworked muscles. As a result, the substance helps the body more easily adapt to physical exercise, mobilize strength, and prevent a nervous breakdown during competitions.
The recommended daily dose of the drug for an athlete is 500 milligrams. Succinic acid is taken once a day immediately after breakfast. After the athlete’s condition improves (a surge of energy, the appearance of vigor), the daily norm is reduced by 2–5 times, divided into equal portions into 3 doses. The individual dosage is selected by the doctor, focusing on the person’s well-being.
To prevent oversaturation of the body with salts of succinic acid (succinates), doses of 1500 - 3000 milligrams should not be taken for more than 10 days. In this case, it is better to take the drug in courses: take 3 days, take a break for 2 days, then repeat the procedure.
Remember, the main task of succinic acid in the athlete’s body is to provide the internal organs with the energy necessary to withstand excessive stress.
If mild cardiac arrhythmia or headache occurs, the tablet is placed under the tongue - this way it is absorbed faster and relieves unpleasant symptoms.
Getting rid of extra pounds is the dream of every second girl, but for many representatives of the fair half of humanity this is a difficult task. Due to the increased load on internal organs, 50% of obese people experience shortness of breath, suffer from hypertension, respiratory failure, vascular diseases and hormonal disorders. The appearance of overweight and obesity is caused by metabolic disorders in the body. As a result, the production of the required amount of succinic acid decreases, and a deficiency of the compound develops, which negatively affects the condition of internal organs and systems and causes health problems.
Additional intake of medications or dietary supplements containing succinates restores metabolism, improves metabolic processes in the body, which, in combination with physical activity, leads to rapid weight loss.
For weight loss, take succinic acid three times a day, 4 tablets half an hour before meals. The duration of the course is two weeks. After 14 days, take a break for a week. Then, if necessary, the procedure should be repeated.
It is allowed to take succinic acid in the form of a solution. To prepare a weight loss drink, a gram of powder is dissolved in 250 milliliters of water. However, such a solution of succinic acid damages the enamel and leads to the formation of caries. To protect your teeth from the aggressive effects of succinates, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse your mouth after each use of the medicinal drink.
Foods rich in succinates
It is not so easy to replenish the supply of natural succinic acid from food sources, since the majority of products are deprived of it.
- beer;
- aged wines;
- deep sea shellfish, oysters;
- cheeses;
- black bread;
- yeast;
- green gooseberries;
- rye flour breadcrumbs;
- kefir;
- sunflower oil, seeds;
- curdled milk;
- cherry;
- apples;
- grapes;
- alfalfa;
- barley;
- beet juice.
Succinic acid tastes like citric acid, so it can replace the latter in all recipes. Due to its antioxidant properties, the compound is used to prepare soups, sauces and soft drinks. Unlike citric acid, the succinic additive increases the nutritional value of food products by 5 times and increases their shelf life.
Succinates from vegetables, seafood and grains are well absorbed by the body, do not accumulate in tissues, and do not cause a toxic reaction.
Succinic acid increases stress resistance and increases brain performance.
Inflammatory processes reduce the level of beneficial compounds in the body, and as a result, the need for the element increases. This problem can be solved by including synthesized succinic acid or food products rich in the substance in the diet.
The daily dose of succinates varies from 0.05 to 3 grams per day and depends on the person's weight (0.03 grams of the compound per kilogram of body weight).
Succinic acid and diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a metabolic disease at the cellular level. Many perceive the diagnosis made by a doctor as a death sentence, but it is not as doomed as before. Type 2 diabetes is associated with a decrease in tissue sensitivity to the influence of insulin, which is produced in normal or increased quantities at the initial stage of the disease. In 40% of cases, a properly selected diet helps reduce glucose synthesis and normalize carbohydrate metabolism. However, over time, the disease progresses, insulin secretion decreases, and the need for injections arises.
In insulin-dependent diabetes, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is accompanied by disorders that affect the cardiovascular system. Therefore, when treating a disease, the main task is to normalize carbohydrate metabolism. The main principle is to prevent glucose from increasing above the permissible limit. The patient's condition is checked daily for blood and urine sugar levels.
Correction of diabetes is carried out by following a strict diet, administering insulin injections, and using glucose-lowering drugs. Recent studies have shown that by combining these methods with taking succinic acid, the normalization of metabolism occurs 2 times faster.
Succinates stimulate the production of your own insulin, which leads to increased body resistance. The synthesis of pancreatic hormone is due to increased metabolic reactions in the islet tissue, and stimulation of production by beta cells is due to the activation of enzymes, the level of which does not depend on the amount of sugar in the extracellular environment.
Remember, effective treatment of diabetes with succinic acid can only be said about patients with type 2 insulin-dependent condition. In this case, with the help of succinates, it is possible to minimize the problems of circulatory disorders, have a beneficial effect on saccharide metabolism, regulate insulin secretion, and prevent emotional stress. Due to the psychological disorders that occur in diabetic patients, the disease is called the “disease of despair.” In addition, the compound helps cleanse the liver and kidneys of harmful substances.
To activate energy metabolism in the body, it is recommended to combine the intake of succinic acid with.
How to use the supplement?
Experts insist on taking the drug in the first half of the day, since in the evening it can cause insomnia. The course of treatment begins with a minimum dosage (500 milligrams). You need to consume succinic acid immediately after meals. When increasing the dosage, it is divided into 2 - 3 times and taken during the day until 16 - 00. To achieve a positive effect, drink the amber-based dietary supplement at intervals of 1 - 2 days (take a break every 3 days).
Regularity and systematicity are the main criteria for successful treatment of the disease, however, it is not recommended to abuse succinates, as this leads to an overdose of the nutrient in the body.

- Leave the peeling mask for 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
- Apply a soothing toner and moisturizer to your face.
To cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate dry skin, you need to perform vitamin treatments once a week, combined treatments - every three days. To smooth out scars and scars, problem areas are wiped with an acid solution. To improve facial tone, add 2-3 drops of amber additive to the cream. The vitamin mixture is applied to the skin immediately after preparation. Remember, succinic acid helps to liquefy the creamy substance, so it is recommended to add it to a product with a thick consistency.
Refreshing tonic. To improve capillary blood flow and saturate the skin with oxygen, it is recommended to prepare your own vitamin lotion, which should be regularly applied to the face after waking up.
To prepare the tonic, mix 50 milliliters of fragrant water, 10 drops of any essential oil (tea tree, fir, camphor, eucalyptus, rose or orange), 2 tablets of succinic acid, 0.5 benzyl alcohol (for preserving the liquid). The resulting lotion should be kept in the refrigerator.
Curl care
Succinic acid has a positive effect on the condition of hair: it stops hair loss, improves growth, strengthens the hair follicle and fiber. As a result, the hair becomes fuller and thicker. The anti-inflammatory, regenerating, antioxidant properties of succinates preserve the beauty and health of the scalp.
To improve the condition of your hair, dilute succinic acid powder with water to a paste, apply the product to your curls along the entire length: from roots to ends. Perform this procedure daily for a month, and the result will not take long to come. After just 30 days, your hair will acquire a natural shine, become stronger and healthier.
Conclusion
Succinic acid is a compound that exhibits antitoxic and antioxidant properties, stimulates metabolism, relieves nervous tension, reduces weight, strengthens hair, and cleanses the skin.
The human body synthesizes 200 grams of useful substances daily. This quantity is sufficient to ensure the life cycle. However, there are factors that increase the body’s need for succinic acid (see paragraph “Daily requirement”). Despite the beneficial properties of the compound, its use should be limited in case of stomach ulcers, hypertension, and urolithiasis.
