Abstract

Dodaci prehrani u širokoj su primjeni i važni su za održavanje zdravlja kod ljudi. Budući da više od
60 % bolesnika koristi dodatke prehrani u ublažavanju simptoma upalnih bolesti crijeva, cilj ovog
rada bio je procijeniti kvalitetu dodataka prehrani s obzirom na sadržaj kalija i natrija. Sadržaj
navedenih makroelemenat u dodacima prehrani koji sadrže biljne vrste: indijski tamjanovac,
kurkumu, justiciju i crni papar određen je primjenom plamene tehnike atomske apsorpcijske
spektrometrije nakon provedene mikrovalne digestije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su dominantnu
zastupljenost kalija i značajno manji sadržaj natrija te širok raspon oba makroelementa u
analiziranim dodacima prehrani. Rezultati su pokazali manji sadržaja kalija u suhim ekstraktima
nego u usitnjenim biljnim drogama. Dodaci prehrani za liječenje upalnih bolesti crijeva mogu se
smatrati dobrim izvorom minerala, a pozitivan omjer Na/K primjenu i kod drugih bolesnika.

Abstract (english)

Dietary supplements are widely used and are important for maintaining people's health. Since more
than 60% of patients use dietary supplements to alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory bowel
diseases, this work aimed to evaluate the quality of dietary supplements with regard to potassium
and sodium content. The content of the mentioned macroelements in dietary supplements containing
botanical species, Indian frankincense, turmeric, black paper, and justice was determined using the
flame technique of atomic absorption spectrometry after microwave digestion. The obtained results
showed a dominant presence of potassium, a significantly lower sodium content, and a wide range
of macroelements in the analyzed dietary supplements. The results showed a lower potassium
content in dry extracts than in crushed herbal drugs. Dietary supplement therapies for inflammatory
bowel diseases can be considered a good source of minerals, and a positive Na/K ratio can also be
used in other patients
