Abstract
A unique feature of medicinal plants is that they contain a wide range of biologically active substances, including those having antioxidant activity. In addition, they contain micro elements that play an essential role in living systems. The content of ascorbic acid in the wet mass and leaves of herbaceous medicinal plants, as well as content of micro elements iron and copper were studied. The species of cranberries, lingo berries, plantain, strawberry timber, St. John’s wort and cinquefoil erect revealed the highest content of ascorbic acid. The content of these components causes the exceptional diversity of the impact and effectiveness of various medicinal plants and their extracts on human body.
