Complex Supplement Development for the Gastroenterological Diseases Prevention

Abstract

The thesis concerns the primary gastroenterological incidence analysis in certain districts of the Kursk region and the identification of areas with a steady level decrease in primary morbidity. A man ranked the subjects of the Russian Federation on the incidence of acute intestinal infections of unknown etiology. According to the Aleksandr A. Spasov classification, the authors identified nine groups of biologically active additives supporting the digestive organs function; studied ingredients reducing the risk of gastrointestinal inflammatory and ulcerative processes; scrutinized the general chemical composition of plant ingredients of gastroenterological action. Roots of ginseng and calamus contain a significant amount of digestible carbohydrates (39.8 and 34.1 %, respectively). Spirulina and calamus root have an increased content of minerals, including antioxidants such as zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper (7.1 and 5.9 %, respectively). The paper presents the study results of the vitamin composition and the macro- and microelements content in plant ingredients, as well as ginseng root ginsenosides aged four, five and six years. A man developed three specialized food additive compositions based on the chemical medicinal plant composition analysis and justification of active substances for gastroenterological purposes, that included from 5 to 10 % ginseng root, from 60 to 65 % flax seeds, from 3 to 5 % calamus root, from 22 to 27 % spirulina. Against nutritiology, the food products enrichment with the developed additive will contribute to the gastroenterological disease prevention.
