Application of the second law of thermodynamics in assessing the effectiveness of dietary supplements

The most important area of any biophysical research is the study of the influx and conversion of energy in biological systems - bioenergy, which ensures the vital activity of the body. Analysis of the possibilities of stabilization of the human body from the standpoint of biothermodynamics is that it allows you to more fully and correctly assess the impact not only on biologically active substances, but also on human health. Analysis of the results of experimental and theoretical sources of biothermodynamics, the authors came up with the idea of positioning biologically active additives to the entropy component, which consists in the fact that drugs or surgery are required to treat a person. to any effect (reduction of chaos, therefore, a decrease in entropy). Important for understanding the thermodynamic approach to evaluating dietary supplements is that they do not increase the entropy of the system. The authors are convinced of the need to revise the paradigm for assessing biological activity (bioeffectiveness, biocorrective properties, functional capabilities) and the substances that underlie the transition from differential quantitative characteristics to an integral qualitative assessment of the overall effectiveness of oxidative processes in the body. This pattern of thermodynamics: a quantitative sign of nutritional status; the second law of thermodynamics as a qualitative characteristic of nutritional status
