Pharmacological properties
The drug is a complex compound of the trace element copper with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, which play an important role in metabolic processes, including those occurring in the thyroid gland.
Copper, which is part of Tirostimulin, is a vital trace mineral.
Copper is essential for the processes of osteogenesis, pigmentation and keratisation. It is an important component of the hematopoietic system of the human body. In this case, copper catalyzes the incorporation of iron into the structure of heme and promotes the maturation of erythrocytes in the early stages of their development.
