Possibility of utilizing a carotenoid concentrate (CC) extracted from Cucumaria frondosa of the North Atlantic in foodstuffs and medicinal and prophylactic diet is considered. A complex of experimental studies including physiological, biochemical and morphological examinations has found that addition of CC in physiological doses to a diet of warm-blooded animals during 12 months causes no side effects. Utilization of CC in medicinal and prophylactic dietary nutrition may be beneficial.
