Summary:Data on the main biologically active organogermanium compounds that were synthesized in the past 5 – 10 years were reviewed. The dietary trace element germanium is necessary to ensure normal functioning of the body. Therefore, practically all water-soluble stable organogermanium compounds exhibit biological activity and attract the attention of researchers.
