Biologically active additives in the Multi-Green and Licorice foods were studied for effects on digestive function upon 100-day experimental intoxication with lead and chromium in a dose of 5 mg/kg. The metals were found to produce local irritating and inflammatory effects on the intestinal mucosa and a resorptive toxic effects on pancreatocytic function. Multi-Green and Licorice diminished the manifestations of adverse effects of lead and chromium on the functional status of digestive organs.
