BAA as a solution to the

problem An alternative to these problems can be made up of biologically active substances of animal and vegetable origin, including those found in medicinal plants and all kinds of seafood. Additional inclusion of them in the diet of modern man or using them in pure form, can compensate for damage from the above negative effects. The introduction of biologically active substances into the daily life of sick and healthy people, both adults and children, has enormous medical, social, political and humanitarian significance. The most effective and economically justified means of improving the population, increasing the capacity for work and the longevity of people can be the management of the process of entering into the human body biologically active substances, which ultimately will significantly improve the health of future generations.

According to the current definition, dietary supplements are concentrates of natural or biologically active substances identical to natural( including also essential, or in other words, essential nutrients), which are intended for direct consumption and / or incorporation into food products. Such biologically active additives can be obtained from both plant and animal and mineral raw materials, and also synthesized using various biotechnological methods.

The Federal Law "On the quality and safety of food" defines biologically active additives as natural or identical to natural biologically active substances intended for use simultaneously with food or introduced into food products.

Among dietary supplements are biologically active substances such as nutraceuticals, which are vitamins or their precursors, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, mono- and disaccharides, as well as dietary fiber. Nutraceuticals are designed to fill the deficiency of essential nutrients, increase the nonspecific resistance of the organism to the effects of unfavorable environmental factors, individualize nutrition, and also to change the metabolism of substances. These elements have an immunomodulatory effect and ensure the binding and excretion of foreign substances from the body. In addition, they are an integral part of therapeutic nutrition and serve as a preventive agent for a number of chronic diseases, which include obesity, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, various malignant neoplasms and immunodeficiency states in the body.

Parapharmaceuticals are another group of dietary supplements. They are represented by so-called natural products, including bioflavonoids, biogenic amines, organic acids and other substances. Parapharmaceuticals are designed to provide regulation in the physiological boundaries of the functional activity of organs and systems, as well as to have an adaptogenic effect, regulation of nervous activity and the state of the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract.

Nutraceuticals, which are part of dietary supplements, are able to have a preventive effect on a number of serious diseases, which is achieved by replenishing the deficiency of essential nutrients, and also by increasing the nonspecific resistance of the organism and immunomodulating action.

Only biologically active additives that are certified for quality can be used in food products.
