What are the indications for the use of succinic acid?
What properties does succinic acid have, indications for its use and what are the benefits for various diseases - we will consider this in detail.
Self-medication is unacceptable, despite the fact that succinic acid can be perceived as a dietary supplement.
The effect of succinic acid on the body
This is a metabolite, a participant in the most important biochemical process that takes place in every cell. If we compare all metabolic reactions with a network of roads, then the one along which the molecules of succinic acid move will be the main one. The name of this “highway” is the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle - after the chemist who studied the process and received the Nobel Prize for his research).
Simplified, it looks like this: fats and carbohydrates are converted into ATP acid, which is a source of energy. However, the cycle cannot be understood linearly. It is not only a route, but also a transport hub for many other processes. For example, as a result of the cycle, the starting material is formed for the synthesis of various compounds necessary for the life of the cell.
Therefore, the range of effects that Succinic Acid tablets have is extremely wide. These are the following steps:
- Antioxidant . Slows down the growth of pathologically multiplying (cancer) cells, promotes youthful appearance of cells and tissues.
- Metabolic . Cells receive more energy, metabolism accelerates.
- Immunomodulatory . Increases the body's defenses against any negative factors.
- Antihypoxic . Provides oxygen supply to tissues.
succinic acid
Industrial succinic acid in tablets or powder is similar to the natural one produced by mitochondria, therefore it is easily absorbed and is native to the human body.
List of indications
Since succinic acid is a metabolite, it has an effect on all tissues and organs. The systems that need a high-quality supply of oxygen are most sensitive to its effects: the heart, blood vessels, and brain. Specific list of indications:
- Age-related changes in the central nervous system. Improves nutrition of brain tissue, which affects memory, sleep quality, mood, performance, and mental activity. Can be a support during periods of stress (for example, passing exams).

- Depression, anxiety, asthenia.
- Risk of fetal hypoxia in pregnant women.
- Intoxication with heavy metals. Succinic acid acts as an antidote.
- Helps reduce the dose of other medications , thereby reducing the risk of side effects, since it enhances the effect of other drugs.
Succinic acid against age-related changes in the central nervous system
Let us consider the specific indications and mechanism of action of Succinic acid for each of these diseases.
How does it work for diabetes?
One of the indications for use is diabetes. The drug cannot be classified as a medicine, however, Succinic acid can be a support for type 2 diabetes. Its properties:
- In type 2 diabetes, sugar is not absorbed from the blood. Succinic acid improves wall permeability. Patients show improvement in blood test results.
- It has a stimulating effect on insulin production, which relieves the load on the pancreas.
- Reduces the usual feeling of thirst and dry mouth in diabetic patients, associated with the fact that the body is trying to get rid of excess sugar in the blood through the genitourinary system.
- Tones, eliminates weakness, lethargy, low mood, promotes tissue rejuvenation and prevents aging. Eliminates dry skin, hair, nails characteristic of diabetes.
It is possible to use succinic acid in the form of compresses on trophic ulcers: powder (crushed tablets or ready-made) mixed with chamomile, honey, spread on gauze, and applied to the affected area. Relief occurs after 5-6 procedures.
To decide how to take Succinic Acid for any of these diseases, you should consult with your doctor.
Succinic acid against diabetes
The official instructions for use suggest the following dosages (we are talking about the substance in powder):
- In courses of 10 days, 250 mg/day - for pregnant women in the 1st, 2nd trimester and before childbirth.
- An hour before drinking alcohol - 250 mg. To alleviate symptoms of intoxication.
- Alcohol withdrawal syndrome: course 4-10 days, take 3-4 times a day, 250 mg/day.
- Reduction or normalization of appetite - 250 mg 1-3 times a day. Caution if you have gastroenterological diseases.
Take the powder before meals, after dissolving the required dose in water.
Use as part of complex therapy
Let's consider the role of succinic acid in the treatment of one of the most common and quite difficult to treat diseases. A set of treatment measures for grade 2 prostatitis, accompanied by erectile dysfunction, may look like this:
- Antibiotics, alpha1-blockers,
- Prostate massage, impulse phallostimulation,
- Prostatilen intramuscularly, Cytoflavin intravenously, then tablets.
A special role in this complex is given to Cytoflavin, a drug that is a complex of succinic acid, riboxin, vitamins B2 and PP. Together, these components dilate blood vessels and improve tissue respiration.
As a result, in patients with prostatitis, pain is reduced and blood flow in the vessels of the penis improves. Penal tests show improvement in erectile function.
Cytoflavin
In addition to Cytoflavin, there are Reamberin, Gelofusin, Mexipridol, Armadin. Each of them has its own nuances of application. Limontar and Mexidol are designed specifically to relieve symptoms of the toxic effects of alcohol. For osteoarthritis, Giulal Artro may be prescribed, which also contains hyaluronic acid, which helps restore the quality of the joint fluid.
People with hypertension, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis are prescribed succinic acid in order to speed up therapy and reduce the dosage of other drugs.
After 10-20 days of the course, patients feel better: shortness of breath and manifestations of tachycardia decrease, swelling is less bothersome, the pressure becomes more even, the heart works in a more stable mode.
The need to take other drugs, including diuretics, disappears or becomes less.
Succinic acid as a remedy for alcohol intoxication
The instructions for using the tablet and powder forms of the drug directly indicate the possibility of its use by those suffering from hangover syndrome, although it should not be confused with alcohol withdrawal.
Most drugs to eliminate the consequences of drinking alcohol relieve existing symptoms and are rarely compatible with other drugs. Succinic acid for a hangover can be taken in advance to prevent headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Compatible with most medications.
The essence of the action: acetaldehydes, toxic substances that cause symptoms of toxic alcohol poisoning, are quickly converted into safe derivatives under the influence of succinic acid.
Succinic acid is more effective if taken before drinking alcohol
Overdose of the drug is unacceptable. The instructions for use state that the maximum daily dose is 600 mg (i.e., no more than 6 tablets). Succinic acid for hangovers is taken 1 tablet every hour.
You can stop taking it earlier if you feel better.
Be sure to take into account contraindications! For those who do not have gastritis, but have a predisposition, the tablets should be dissolved rather than swallowed: when dissolved, the negative effect of acid on the gastrointestinal mucosa will be less.
Can it help you lose weight?
Why succinic acid is needed and how it affects metabolism is discussed above. It can really be useful for normalizing weight. But there is an important psychological point that distinguishes the behavior of people striving for a slimmer figure.
Even realizing that effective weight loss is impossible without analyzing the causes of excess weight, physical activity, reviewing the menu or working with a psychotherapist, they are inclined to search for a miracle remedy that will give an unambiguous, direct and quick result.
But not a single product or single substance can burn fat cells.
The expectation of a miracle can explain the negative reviews. If taken correctly (according to the instructions, 2-3 tablets per day in the absence of contraindications), there will be no harm from succinic acid, and the benefits to the body are undoubted.
It helps to increase overall tone at different levels (from cellular to psychological).
Normalizes water-fat and lipid metabolism, improves blood circulation and nutrition of all organs and systems. Activates a healthy appetite, taste for food and life. Reduces appetite due to better absorption of food.
Removes toxins, has an antioxidant effect on cells, helping to improve the quality of all tissues from adipose to epithelial.
You shouldn’t look for a weight loss remedy in succinic acid.
It has the ability to have the most pronounced effect where it is needed. Therefore, women of menopausal age note a decrease in hot flashes, those prone to varicose veins report a decrease in the feeling of heaviness in their legs, and patients with asthenia feel more energetic.
Contraindications and possible harm
Already from the name Succinic Acid it is clear that the drug can burden the gastrointestinal tract, therefore it is not recommended for people with high acidity of gastric juice. At the same time, being a natural agent for the body, it will not cause harm if taken in the correct dosages. Prescribe it with caution or completely refuse to take it if:
- Gastritis with high acidity.
- Stomach ulcer.
- Duodenal ulcer.
Succinic acid, contraindications for the use of which are necessarily listed in the instructions, acts as a stimulant, so its use may be undesirable in nervous disorders with a predominance of excitation processes over inhibition processes. For the same reasons, it is not taken before bed.
May worsen the well-being of patients with urolithiasis and hypertension.
It should be borne in mind that succinic acid is contained in many products. Tablets are unnecessary if the patient’s menu contains a lot of seafood, sauerkraut, berries (gooseberries, cherries), fruits, black bread, curdled milk, and yeast. Excess intake can lead to impotence.
Succinic acid, if taken according to the rules, can be an excellent dietary supplement with a whole range of beneficial effects. In the presence of specific diseases, it should be included even as a bioactive supplement after consultation with a doctor who can select therapeutic dosages.

Succinic acid for weight loss: acceleration of metabolism
While nutritionists argue how effective succinic acid is for weight loss, scientists have long experimentally proven that it prolongs life. Not a bad side effect, right?
Why does the body need succinic acid?
Succinic acid is an organic compound that pharmacologists obtain during the processing of natural amber. Its simplified chemical definition is a type of carbolic acid.
In appearance and taste, succinic acid resembles ordinary citric acid - the same white crystalline substance. It also dissolves in water and alcohol. Used in the food industry - in the form of additive E363. It is vital for our body.
Contained in each of its cells and participates in the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - a universal source of energy. Many supporters of a healthy lifestyle actively use coenzyme Q10 as a means of rejuvenation and antioxidant.
Succinic acid is a drug with a similar effect, but unlike coenzyme Q10 it costs a penny. It is not profitable for manufacturers to invest money in advertising the drug, since this will not recoup its penniless cost.
Gerontological scientists V.N. Anisimov and M.V. Soloviev, in the process of their research, came to the conclusion that the use of succinic acid in combination with some other factors and components can significantly prolong youth and slow down the aging process.
The cells of the body, when they are in a healthy and efficient state, themselves produce the required amount of succinic acid - 200 mg per day.
It’s another matter when, under the influence of some unfavorable factors, it becomes more difficult for them to cope with the functions of synthesizing the necessary components without outside help. And we constantly encounter such factors: atmospheric pollution, emotional shocks, physical overstrain, fatigue.
And then such a modest (in price, not in properties) pharmaceutical drug as succinic acid can provide significant help, the necessary support to the body.
Useful properties of succinic acid
Stimulates cellular respiration and energy production. With the help of succinic acid, oxygen penetrates cells faster and increases the intensity of their work. Liver cells are able to increase the rate of their “breathing” by 60 times.
As a powerful antioxidant, it can neutralize the activity of free radicals, reduce the toxic effects of alcohol, nicotine, drugs and other harmful chemicals.
Stimulates the functioning of the brain, heart, liver and kidneys by actively saturating their cells with oxygen.
Helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin production.
Enhances the healing effects of medicinal drugs.
Prevents the formation of tumors and stops their development.
Inhibits the development of inflammatory processes.
Slows down the aging process.
Strengthens the immune system. Promotes faster recovery of strength after active physical activity.
By improving kidney function, it helps get rid of excess fluid and remove waste products. Reduces swelling.
Reduces fat cells.
Succinic acid for weight loss
Five reasons to use succinic acid for weight loss:
There are no clear conclusions regarding the effect of this drug on weight loss. But there are several significant arguments in its favor:
Succinic acid relieves swelling and fatigue, and this is a significant step towards harmony.
Promotes a positive perception of life, the desire to move more, achieve more and move mountains. And in this state it is difficult to acquire excess fat reserves.
For those who are constantly on diets, succinic acid can really help. Taking it will relieve you from the depressing feelings that you should limit yourself to your favorite foods. It will help get rid of nervous tension and increase overall vitality.
It has an effect (albeit indirect) on the intensity of fat burning and calorie consumption.
It is also very effective for those who have already lost weight and are looking for ways to get rid of sagging skin. When added to creams, succinic acid can restore lost skin turgor.
It is no coincidence that cosmetologists classify it as a smart product. This remedy is not interested in healthy and functional cells.
But it effectively helps the sluggish cells of the body, including the skin, to cope with their problems.
How to take succinic acid correctly
From the existing regimens for taking the drug, you can choose the one that suits you best. And the diagrams are as follows:
Two weeks. During this period, three to four tablets of succinic acid are drunk daily three times a day, before meals. Then - a week's break, after which you can resume taking the drug. And so on - according to your well-being and desire.
Monthly daily. It consists of drinking a solution of succinic acid every day for a month, thirty minutes before breakfast. To prepare it, 1 g of acid is dissolved in a glass of water. After consumption, it is necessary to neutralize the destructive effects of acid on tooth enamel by rinsing your mouth and brushing your teeth.
Menstruation is cyclical. Over the course of a month, take succinic acid tablets in courses: after three days of use, one day of rest. Dose: 3-4 tablets per day. On a day free from taking pills, it is advisable to reduce physical activity.
Athletes, after intense training, are recommended to take 3000 mg of acid once to restore strength.
The effective dosage of succinic acid can be selected by following the prompts of your body. If its use leads to a pleasant warming effect and slight dizziness, this is a normal dose.
It is usually recommended to start a course of taking the drug with 500 mg daily: in the morning, after breakfast. The daily dose - 500 mg - can be divided into two or three doses.
It is advisable to use preparations with succinic acid in the first half of the day. It is not recommended to drink it at night, as taking it invigorates.
It is not forbidden to adjust the dose depending on how you feel.
