Summary:In research in which 11 osteoarthrosis patients with osteoarthrosis of the knee-joint of II-III degree and 18 healthy people took part, it has been shown that sufficiency with vitamin C, carotinoids and calcium of osteoarthrosis patients was worse than that of healthy people. These micronutrients blood plasma level in both groups was less than the lower border of normal sufficiency. Whereas patients from both groups were adequately supplied with vitamins A, E, B2 and phosphorus. Addition of vitamin-mineral complex to patients ration course 30 days resulted in eliminating insufficiently of vitamin C, carotinoids, beta-carotin, calcium and in hardly noticable changes of initial high levels of vitamin A, E, B and phosphoris. These nutrients deficit disappeared while there was no noticeable change in the initial optimal provision with vitamins B2, A and E. Thus, there is no doubt in arguments in favour of additional enrichment with vitamins and calcium of osteoarthrosis patients diet.
