Annotation
The subject provides targeted information about the physiological and pathophysiological processes, which assert during the human nutrition and which can influence the development of health of individual person. With this commentary is connected the systematic part, which mentions the application of food for special nutrition (food supplements, food of new type), their legislative position in EU countries and legislative specifics in Czech Republic.
They are browsed the individual substances and group of substances (natural, biotechnological and synthetic origin), which don?t have the character of pharmaceutical, and which are presently commonly used in the EU territory and especially as a precautionary preparations, which could protect against the development of civilization diseases and their pathogenesis (oxidative stress, general adaptation syndrome, carcinogenesis), or are used in the certain live periods, but also like the material, which is possible to use as a adjuvant with the effective pharmacotherapy, without bringing the negative interactions. As a part of the subject there is the caution on the substances, which commonly occur in food and can affect health or pharmacotherapy, or the results of clinical laboratory tests of the use (patient).
