Estimation and analytical methods were employed to investigate real rations of patients with gastroduodenal ulcer. Chemical composition of diet N 1 was found unsatisfactory both by ascorbic acid and carbohydrates content responsible for low-caloric value of the diet. The ration correction with additional provision of vegetables, fruit, greens raised vitamin C intake by the patients though the deficiency was not abolished.

The content of ascorbin acid and thiamin was assessed in the food ration of 36 patients with chronic gastritis and ulcer disease. By the end treatment including dietotherapy these vitamins showed a deficit. Correction of this deficit of the above mentioned vitamins with a polyvitamine drug "Supradin" allowed to improve significantly the biochemical indices and availability of ascorbic acid and thiamin in patients with chronic gastritis and ulcer disease. The treatment produced a favourable effect on the clinical course of the disease, reduction of the pain syndrome and earlier recovery.
