Possibilities of Using Biologically Active Substances of Iceland Moss

Abstract

Abstract Despite the emergence of new biotechnological methods of processing plant raw materials, modern medicine and pharmaceuticals are far from fully using phytotherapeutic drugs in treatment, due to the shortage of some types of medicinal plant raw materials. Mainly, a separate study of the constituent components is carried out, which makes it difficult to predict the pharmacological effect of the drug. Iceland moss is widespread in Russia and is a source of valuable substances. The article shows numerous studies of the beneficial properties of plant materials. The analysis of drugs and dietary supplements registered in the Russian Federation based on Iceland moss was carried out. The active substances in plant raw materials were determined, the conditions for the production of infusions and decoctions were proposed.
