MODERN ASPECTS OF STANDARDIZATION AND QUALITY CONTROL OF PLANT-BASED BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUPPLEMENTS

In recent decades, the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as many countries worldwide, has experienced a steady increase in interest toward plant-based biologically active supplements (BAS). This trend is driven by growing public attention to disease prevention, a preference for natural remedies, and the dynamic development of the nutraceutical market.
