The variety of products on the market today does not doubt the popularity of Hippocrates' statement: "Your food should become your medicine, and your medicine should be your food."
The discrepancy between the amount of food consumed and the amount of energy consumed is the reason for the irrational, unbalanced nutrition of a modern person. A tangible decrease in energy consumption leads to a small need for energy, and therefore in its only source - food. But the need for vital nutrients has not diminished. To meet the need for all the necessary substances, a huge amount of varied food is required. And a person faces a dilemma - either to get fat, or to be actively physically loaded.
Farmakonutritsiologiya - a new area, which arose at the intersection of science of nutrition, food and pharmaceutical industries. Thanks to the established biologically active food additives (BAA).
Three groups of dietary supplements
Supplements are divided into three groups: nutraceuticals, parapharmaceuticals and probiotics.
Thanks to the development of nutritional supplements, the possibilities of traditional medicine in the fight for health are expanding. The safety and availability of the use of natural products enables self-help. A wide variety of dietary supplements complicates the selection of the right ones. If you are a person with no medical education, do not burden yourself with trying to figure out a huge amount of products. Make sure the supplement is healthy.
On the basis of those forms that are available dietary supplements (tablets, powders, capsules, syrups, tinctures and extracts) can be attributed to the drug. But they can be purchased in specialized departments of stores. Therefore, we can assume that we are dealing with food of a new sample.
Dietary supplements are divided into three groups:
- I. Supplements, Nutraceuticals
- II. parapharmaceuticals
- III. Probiotics
I. K Badam-nutraceutical include essential nutrients - vitamins or their close precursors (for example, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). These are natural products that do not contain preservatives and other components that are foreign to the body. A special role is played by trace elements (selenium, zinc, fluorine, iron, some amino acids and antioxidants). Nutraceuticals include minerals - potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus. With the help of nutraceuticals we can:
- Quite fast and easy to liquidate deficiency of essential nutrients;
- The most individually adjusted flow of substances in the body, based on its needs;
- Significantly increase the body's resistance to adverse effects (surgery, infection or cancer).
Biologically active additives and vitamin-mineral complexes are regularly taken in Europe (about 50% of the population), in the USA (40%), and in Japan (almost 80%). At the same time, in Russia - no more than 3% of the population.
Dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, no doubt, necessary for the promotion of health for the prevention of many eating disorders. The lack of substance in the body refers to the possibility of risk factors for cancer.
Currently, there is a lot of information about the effectiveness of the use of some nutraceuticals in the nutrition of critically ill patients. All preparations of the group of food additives can be used regularly. This is possible because they do not have side effects, unlike drugs (including those delayed in time), and have a wide safe range of doses used.
Scientific evidence supports the therapeutic value of nutritional supplements - nutraceuticals. Most often, they are either a safe alternative to drugs or protectors of the body from the side effects of drugs.
Undoubtedly one of the most promising dietary supplements of the latest generation are formulations based higher fungi are used.
In the Kiev center fungoterapii, Bio-regulation and Ayurvedic preparations based on medicinal mushrooms they are successfully used in courses of prevention and rehabilitation of oncological diseases and many other disorders in the functioning of organs and systems of the human body.
II. parapharmaceuticals - in composition and action, they are closest to drugs. There is a complex difference between medicines and parapharmaceuticals. Parapharmaceutical supplements are used for the prevention and concomitant treatment of many diseases. They have no nutritional value (unlike nutraceuticals), although they often contain substances from medicinal plants, seafood, and animal tissues. Parapharmaceuticals act physiologically.
For this type of carry Badam Active plant extracts (Ginseng, Siberian ginseng, lemongrass, golden root); mineral and organic substrates (such as mummy). Among them there are also animal waste products and bees (antlers, animal and plant toxins, bile, honey, propolis, etc.); Herbal teas and fees herbs.
One of the conditions for the use of dietary supplements is their safety, that is, using dietary supplements, one cannot get poisoned or contract an infectious disease. However, undesirable complications may occur with excessive intake of nutraceuticals, especially those that contain high doses of vitamins A and B, selenium, chromium, iodine. You can, without knowing the pharmacological action of the components of dietary supplements, take them without effect.
It is much more expedient to use biologically active additives in combination with other drugs and special nutrition for patients with exhaustion, poor appetite, impaired immunity, insufficient functioning of the liver and kidneys, as well as to reduce the toxic effect of anticancer drugs.
III. Probiotics... These include dietary supplements with the presence of living organisms (representatives of normal intestinal microflora, lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria). Such supplements restore the microflora of the digestive tract, normalize intestinal motility and significantly improve health with numerous positive effects.
Currently, there are many industrial dairy products (kefirs, yoghurts, cottage cheese ...), which contain these organisms. It is believed that probiotics help prevent the development of pathogens in the intestine, thereby eliminating dysbiosis (violation of the composition of the intestinal microflora). They also stimulate the production of a number of vitamins by the intestinal microflora, improve intestinal motor function, and have a positive effect on human health.
The use of probiotics is recommended for intestinal diseases caused by the use of anticancer drugs. However, their effect is unstable and unstable. This applies, for example, to the elimination of intestinal dysbiosis.
Considering the fact that many anticancer drugs, as well as radiation therapy, have a serious damaging effect on the body as a whole, it is recommended in a complex the treatment of cancer patients use of dietary supplements, which weaken and flatten the side effects of such therapies, and improve the body's defenses. In the arsenal of the Kiev Center fungoterapii, Bio-regulation and Ayurveda has such drugs. This gepatoprotektory (Liv-Coeur, Trutovik, Triphala), And modulators of the body's defenses (Vin-vita, resveratrol, Katrel, doshab, Finer) and others…
So, dietary supplements are not drugs. They DO NOT replace drugs, but serve them as a good helper (for example, in the treatment of various manifestations of the tumor process), increase the body's defenses and reduce the intensity of various complications of anticancer therapy.
Biologically active additives can not replace food. They are dietary aids.
Nutritional supplements are suitable and justified for use in eating disorders and vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies.
