The drug normalizes the protein and fat metabolism, restores the alkaline reserve of blood, keto acids and inhibits the formation of anaerobic glycolysis, It reduces the level of lactic acidosis, and also increases the locomotor activity and increases exercise tolerance, at the same time it contributes to economical use of glycogen and an increase in its reserves in the liver.
