With gastritis, patients are on a strict and limited diet. Because of this, the body may “lack” nutrients. Vitamins are needed to restore the stomach and maintain tone. But before choosing them, find out the exact diagnosis. It depends on which vitamins to take and in what quantities.
What vitamins can you take for gastritis?
General recommendations
Do not self-medicate. The tablets must be prescribed by a doctor. If you have diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, you need to be careful. In addition, some substances “conflict” with each other - they are poorly absorbed if they are drunk together. The doctor will tell you whether you can take certain medications, explain in what form to take them, and select the appropriate dosage. This largely depends on what type of gastritis you have.
For example, vitamin E reduces acid activity. This element is found in “fatty” foods, which can be harmful if the stomach is inflamed. Especially if the disease occurs against the background of low acidity. And the only way to get a useful substance is from drugs. But patients with high acid levels, on the contrary, are allowed to consume sunflower oil and milk.
Take vitamins after meals. Do not bite or chew. Be sure to read the instructions. Do not exceed the dose. In large quantities, vitamins can be harmful. Take them with water or suck them (depending on the tablets themselves).
B vitamins are suitable in any case - it doesn’t matter whether the acidity is low or high. They help the mucous membrane recover and accelerate regeneration. Folic acids (B9) and cyanocobalamin (B12) are beneficial. Due to illness, a deficiency of these substances may occur, which will lead to anemia.
The doctor selects the treatment regimen and duration. Including the timing of taking “vitamins”. If you take a therapeutic course, take a break for at least 3 months. It is better to drink them in winter or spring. At this time, the body just lacks vitamins. Take them regularly. Follow the instructions that are in the same pack with the drug.
What do they contain?
To prevent exacerbation of gastritis and speed up recovery, the patient needs to fill the diet with foods containing vitamins important for this period. So, you will need to include beans, peas and grain bread in the menu to enrich the body with vitamin B6. Foods such as cabbage, fish, liver and spinach will help increase the folacin content, and you can increase the amount of vitamin PP in the body by eating tuna, lean beef and chicken. Vitamin C is found in large quantities in berries, citrus fruits, fruits and fresh vegetables.
Low acidity
For gastritis with low acidity you need:
- Vitamins of group A. Good antioxidant. Increases immunity. Prevents the development of infections. Accelerates wound healing. Normalizes the composition and level of gastric juice.
- B6 (Pyridoxine). Protein is better absorbed with it (this is important for stomach diseases). Normalizes nerve conduction. Due to inflammation, there may be a lack of pyridoxine in the body. This often leads to neurosis-like and neurotic disorders.
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Improves immunity. Has a positive effect on the stomach. One of the most important vitamins for the body.

Benefits of vitamins
With chronic gastritis, it is important to adhere to a strict diet, but at the same time, the patient’s body must receive all the necessary substances that contribute to its normal functioning and accelerate the healing process.
With inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which has a chronic form, there is often a lack of pyridoxine. A deficiency of this substance entails metabolic disorders, the development of nausea, nervous disorders and makes the gastric walls more vulnerable. But, besides pyridoxine, other elements are also necessary for good immunity, namely:
- Minerals. They are the most important component of cells, and most of them are simply necessary for human life. Minerals are divided into: microelements (copper, zinc, iron, fluorine, chromium) and macroelements (phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, magnesium).
- Folacin or folic acid. Stops inflammatory processes and prevents their formation.
- Vitamin RR. Accelerates metabolic processes, normalizes cholesterol levels, promotes the removal of toxins and toxic substances.
- Vitamin A. Takes an active part in the formation of the skeleton, normalizes the functioning of the respiratory and food systems.
- Vitamins of group D. Improve the absorption of beneficial elements and participate in the formation of bone tissue.
With gastritis, it is important to support the body in the fight against the disease.
Vitamin E has incomparable benefits for the human body. It improves the functioning of the heart muscle and nervous system, and also neutralizes the effects of free radicals and accelerates sugar metabolism, which is especially necessary for patients with diabetes. Vitamins are important for people, and they not only improve metabolic processes, but also increase vitality, performance, immunity, helping the body resist infectious diseases.
Increased acidity
For gastritis with high acidity it is recommended:
- B12 (Cyanocobalamin, Cobalamin). Its deficiency leads to anemia. The element affects the functioning of neuromuscular transmission. It is prescribed for autoimmune inflammation.
- Group D. Promotes rapid absorption of phosphorus and calcium.
- E. Reduces acid activity, strengthens mucous membranes.
- P (Quercetin, Rutin). Strengthens capillaries, prevents bleeding.
- U (Metoinine). Helps normalize acidity and reduce the production of gastric juice. The drug is prescribed for hyperacid gastritis.

For any acidity
There are several vitamins that “do not depend” on the diagnosis:
- B Affects the circulatory system and immunity. Useful for chronic diseases. Helps get rid of some symptoms of gastritis.
- K. Affects blood clotting.
- PP (Niacin). Improves the functioning of the stomach and intestines. Helps with diarrhea.
Vitamin Niacin works well against diarrhea.
These are not the only drugs that are needed for recovery.
