Abstract
Šobrīd uztura bagātinātāju lietošana ir ļoti populāra. 2022. gada vidū veiktie pētījumi Eiropā norāda, ka ap 88% no Eiropas iedzīvotājiem lieto uztura bagātinātājus. Visbiežāk uztura bagātinātājus lieto vispārīgai veselībai un imunitātei. Ap 17% no Eiropas iedzīvotājiem izvēlas uztura bagātinātājus matu, nagu un ādas veselībai. Pēc marķējumā sniegtās informācijas uztura bagātinātāji palīdz ierobežot ādas novecošanos, stiprināt retinātos matus. Uztura bagātinātāju sastāvdaļām izmanto veselīguma norādes, kuras ir EFSA apstiprinātas un to efektivitāti apliecina pētījumi. Diemžēl visām sastāvdaļām tādu norāžu nav, tādēļ rodas šaubas par uztura bagātinātāju lietošanas lietderīgumu.
Atbilstoši pētījuma mērķim tika noskaidroti iedzīvotāju uztura bagātinātāju matu, nagu un ādas veselībai izvēles principi. Iedzīvotāji visvairāk pērk uztura bagātinātājus aptiekās, visbiežāk kapsulas un tabletes, izvēli visvairāk ietekmē produkta sastāvs, darbība, cena, ārstu un farmaceitu rekomendācijas.
Jauna uztura bagātinātāja izstrāde notika cieto želatīna kapsulu formā. Pulvera formulācijā tika pievienots cinks, selēns, biotīns, A vitamīns un kolagēns. Lai realizētu kapsulu pildīšanu, izstrādātā receptūra tika pielāgota, pievienotas palīgvielas, tādējādi nodrošinot pilnu kapsulas piepildījumu un iegūtā produkta kvalitāti. Produkta kvalitātes novērtēšanai ilgtermiņā, tika veikts 6 mēnešu stabilitātes pētījums klimatokamerā. Pētījuma rezultāti norāda uz to, ka produkta kvalitātes saglabāšanai izstrādātais uztura bagātinātājs jāiepako flakonos vai blisteros ar dubulto plēvi un receptūras izstrādē jāparedz retinola acetāta rezervi.
Currently, the use of nutritional supplements is very popular. Research conducted in Europe in the middle of 2022 indicates that around 88% of the European population uses dietary supplements. Most commonly, supplements are used for general health and immunity. Around 17% of the European population choose dietary supplements for hair, nails and skin health. According to the information provided on the label, dietary supplements help limit skin aging, strengthen thinning hair. Health claims are used for the ingredients, which are approved by EFSA and whose effectiveness is confirmed by studies. Unfortunately, not all ingredients have such claims, so doubts arise about the usefulness of using dietary supplements. In accordance with the aim of the study, the principles of choosing dietary supplements for hair, nails and skin were found out. People mostly buy dietary supplements in pharmacies, most often capsules and tablets, the choice is most influenced by the product's composition, action, price, and recommendations of doctors and pharmacists. The development of a new dietary supplement was made in the form of hard gelatin capsules. Zinc, selenium, biotin, vitamin A and collagen were added to the powder formulation. To realize the filling of the capsules, the developed recipe was adjusted, and auxiliary substances were added, thus ensuring the complete filling of the capsule and the quality of the obtained product. To evaluate the quality of the product in the long term, a 6-month stability study was performed in a climate chamber. The results of the study indicate that to maintain the quality of the product, the developed food supplement should be packed in PET jars or blisters with a double film and a reserve of retinol acetate should be provided in the formulation.
