Abstract
Studies of the effect of the use of preparations with microalgae C.vulgaris on the human body are important due to its wide distribution and the presence of a large number of biologically active substances. We investigated biochemical and hematologic indices of a group of persons after a course of microalgae suspension reception. There were immunomodulatory effects, expressed as an increase in LYM% and a decrease in ESR, cellular rejuvenation primarily among healthy men, and trends toward increased ALB and TP at younger ages. After 50 years of age, a tendency for GLU levels to decrease after the course was detected. There was an increase in CREA and UREA, which may be related to both improved availability of protein compounds and the composition of the microalgae growth medium, which requires further investigation.
