Biologically active food supplements have been designed, namely, «Cardisten», «Adasten», and «Diasten». The main component of all the supplements is «Serpisten» substance. Serpistenis a mixture of two phytoecdysteroids, namely, 20-hydroxyecdysone and 25S-inokosterone, obtained from Serratula coronata plants. Cardisten is an anti-ischemic and hypoholesterolic supplement. Diasten is an anti-diabetic; and Adasten is an adaptogenic food supplement.

 The biologically active supplements derived from aerial parts of Serratula coronata plants are more effcient and are considerably cheaper than known analogs (for example, Ekdisten by PO UsFarm, Tashkent, Uzbekistan). By its anti-ischemic and hypoholesterolic effect, Serpisten-based Cardisten preparation is a more effcient remedy than the preparations of statin goups; according to the pre-clinical research reported by ZAO Adaptogen (Saint Petersburg), it has no side effects.
