Study of macro- and microelement composition of the tanacetum vulgare soft extract

Abstract

The study of the microelement composition of medicinal plants is important for medicine, since the violation of the microelemental equilibrium in the human body plays an essential role in the etiology of many diseases. At present, great attention is paid to complex drugs that contain not only biologically active substances, but also mineral substances. The trace elements not only have a certain physiological effect, but can also show synergy in relation to a number of substances. In addition, the trace elements of plant origin are better digested by the human body, because in plants they are contained in "biological" concentrations. Many medicinal plants are able to accumulate high concentrations of so-called essential elements, which gives them significant advantages in the prevention and treatment of a large number of diseases associated with a violation of the balance of trace elements in the human body. Vegetable raw material is capable of accumulation of chemical elements in the process of vegetation and has the ability to isolate these compounds during extraction and obtaining of complex phytomedicines. It should be noted that some known toxic chemical elements, e.g., arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, chromium, vanadium, rubidium, molybdenum, tin and others, in high concentrations exhibit toxic and even poisonous effects on the human body
