DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
"Food can be described as extremely complex chemical complex, containing thousands of major and hundreds of thousands of minor components, is able to provide the prominent and varied physiological effects. " (Academician A. N. Nesmeyanov)
Biologically active additive is a biologically active substance of plant, animal and mineral origin that affect important regulatory, metabolic and protective functions of the body.
What is it BAFS ? inactive enzyme vitamin supplements
The large expert in the field of nutritional biochemistry Professor A. A. Pokrovsky wrote that "food is the source of quite complex pharmacological effects and a carrier of biologically active substances".
Biologically active food supplements Nutraceutical funds Parapharmaceutical drugs
Nutraceutical funds are biologically active substances, which are the main components of the body: vitamins, or their precursors, macro - and microelements (iron, calcium, selenium, zinc, fluorine, etc. ), polyunsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, some mono - and disaccharides, dietary fiber used for the correction of the chemical composition of the human diet. Parapharmaceutical drugs - possess some pharmacological activity and are used for prophylaxis, adjuvant therapy and support for the functional activity of organs and systems. These include bioflavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, organic acids, essential oils, polysaccharides, that is, drugs of vegetable and animal origin or their synthetic analogues, the so - called "natural products".
The main groups of biologically active food substances that guard our health: n n n n n n vitamin-like substances, the vitamin precursor, water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins, macro - and microelements complex carbohydrates unsaturated fatty acids, phospholipids, digestive enzymes dietary fiber, beneficial intestinal microorganisms organic acids, organic sulfides, bioflavonoids catechins, glycosides, indoles, isothiocyanates, coumarins, Essential oils terpenes, tannins.
"Each of us needs 90 food additives: 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 14 essential amino acids - otherwise develop the disease due to their deficit, " so says Dr. Wallack (USA). And with his opinion every specialist agrees on nutrition and medicine. Biologically active additives (BAFS) - the easiest and most reliable way to make the food good and strong health. But often our ignorance and prejudices deprive us of this advantage.
Micronutrientology is a promising curative and preventive research and practical trend that is developing rapidly at the junction of two major areas of medicine - pharmacology and dietetics, integrative tasks vitaminology, teaching about the biological role of microelements, biologically active substances and write is directed to the use of physiological, protective and therapeutic action of various micronutrients on the vital functions of healthy and diseased organism.
