The prevalence of childhood neurological disorders associated with significant mental overloads, prolonged work with computers, intensified ecological pressure and inappropriate nutrition has been increasing recently. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly ω3) included into the composition of the modern vitamin-mineral complexes for children are to play the main corrective role in solving of this problem. Technological aspects of one of such complexes production process and assessment of its composition balance and nutrients’ concentrations are described in this article. The authors also give clinical cases of this medicine usage in children with symptoms of minimal cerebral dysfunction.
