Introduction. The utilization of the dietary supplement "Pantohematogen-C" within the medical and psychological rehabilitation program for military personnel with secondary asthenic syndrome in a sanatorium-resort setting has demonstrated its positive impact on normalizing key asthenia symptoms, including physical and mental exhaustion, vegetative disorders, and sleep disturbances. Aim. This study aimed to enhance the effectiveness of comprehensive medical and psychological sanatorium-resort rehabilitation for military personnel with asthenic syndrome using the dietary supplement "Pantohematogen-C". Materials and Methods. The study involved 39 male military personnel aged 24 to 59 years (average age 39.2±4.18 years), with 20 patients in the main group and 19 in the comparison group. The patients underwent a 21-day sanatorium rehabilitation program at the Military Sanatorium "Yeltsovka" of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The rehabilitation program included various interventions such as diet therapy, gentle-training motor regime, physical therapy methods, daily dosed walking, exercise equipment, transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), iodine-bromine baths, and psychological correction. Additionally, the main group received the dietary supplement "Pantohematogen-C" three times a day, while the comparison group underwent only the procedures of the basic complex. The effectiveness of the rehabilitation measures was evaluated using several assessment tools. Results. Following the comprehensive sanatorium rehabilitation program, including "Pantohematogen-C", a significant decrease in physical and mental components of asthenia, an increase in activity on the MFI-20 scale, normalization of vegetative status, and improved sleep quality were observed. Patients also reported enhanced well-being, mood, and activity. Moreover, the program led to a statistically significant decrease in situational anxiety. Conclusions. The study has explored the potential and suitability of using Pantohematogen-C to enhance the effectiveness of the sanatorium-resort program for medical and psychological rehabilitation of military personnel with secondary asthenic syndrome. This intervention has shown promise in normalizing vegetative and psycho-emotional status, improving sleep quality, and increasing patient activity in sanatorium-resort organizations catering to these patient categories.
