Abstract
Analysis of a bioelement profile or its components (trace element status analysis) may provide essential information metabolism of the human organism and help to correct a complex of metabolic disturbances. At the same time, therernare not strict limits of “norm” for element content in the human organism in general and biosamples in particular. Th erefore,rnwhen analyzing element status of the human being one cannot use only categories like “increased” or “decreased”. It is stronglyrnrecommended to estimate the stages of bioelement imbalances. Such stages should be estimated using the exact populationrnliving in the current territory etc. In particular, the fi rst and second stages of imbalances may be indicative of unbalancedrnnutrition and ecology, and desadaptation, respectively. These types of imbalances require only dietary management whereasrndrug treatment may result in adverse health eff ects. Th e third stage of bioelement imbalance may be associated with “predisease”rnand reduction of functional reserves of the organism. Depending on the presence of complaints the correction of bioelementrnstatus of the organism may be performed using dietary supplements (in the absence of complaints) or through prescriptionrnof medicines (presence of non-specifi c complaints). Th e fourth stage of bioelement dysbalanceis characterized by diseasernmanifestation and requires only pharmacotherapy. Th erefore, such personalized approach helps to increase the effi ciency ofrntreatment and avoid possible side-effects of medications. We have successfully used this approach for 25 in health managementrn of sportsmen, persons of extreme and dangerous professions, and clinical medicine (chlid neurology, endocrinology, etc.).
