Abstract: Providing Ukrainian nation with nutrition adequate to the needs of a human body in the extreme conditions caused by russian fullscale military aggression is the essential task for the national public health system.Such nutrition should primarily contain the increased concentration of bioflavonoids, due to their diverse positive impacts on a human body, which, in turn, would impart the different functional properties (antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, immunomodulating, tonic etc) to the food products.The plant raw materials are of the utmost priority to obtain the polyfunctional fortifiers.This is quite understandable, owing to the fact that the majority of natural plant materials are congenial to a human body.During the long-lasting evolution period, a human got accustomed to absorb the plant components; this is why they are easily involved in biochemical processes in the body.Actually, this results from their high absorption level as well as the absence of undesired side effects even in case of the long-term intake.The novelty opportunities of science and techniques allow the researcher to identify the various biologically active substances, to extract them from plants and hereinafter to examine their curative properties and the positive influence on the human body.The purpose of this work is to substantiate the expedience of fortifying the traditional food bases by plant compositions with prevalent bioflavonoid content in order to create the diets adequate to the needs of a human body in the extreme life conditions.The author of the article proves that the most rapid, economically profitable and technologically expedient way to obtain such products is to fortify the traditional food bases by polyfunctional plant compositions that would include agricultural raw materials, medicinal and spicy herbs, secondary resources.The increased amount of bioflavonoids would be the main selection criterion.
