[Testing of vitamin E in the newly developed Czechoslovak preparation Trivitamin]

Experiments were performed to test the newly developed Czechoslovak preparation Trivitamin, including the comparison of its effects at intubation onto the tongue root and at muscular implantation; these effects were compared with the i. m. administration of Axetocal. The levels of vitamin E in the blood of pigs were examined as influenced by the above treatments. The best utilization was obtained in the Trivitamin preparation given to the pigs intramuscularly. Peroral administration ranked second, whereas the lowest reaction was obtained from Axetocal at intramuscular administration. We hope that a good aqueous medium in which the vitamin is suspended in the main prerequisite for a high utilization rate of vitamin E is the model test with the Trivitamin preparation.
