The aim: of this work is to study the composition and properties of brown algae biologically active substances (BAS). Result: A review of the data published by foreign and Russian authors on the composition and properties of brown algae BAS, as well as the data of the article authors on BAS of algae from White and Barents Seas, is presented. Brown algae of families Laminariales and Fucales (Phaeophyceae) are considered sources of natural biologically active substances. Novelty: New data are presented that sulfated polysaccharides — fucoidans, as well as alginates, polyphenols and other substances with various bioactive properties, with antiviral and anticoagulant potentials, have a positive effect on human health. Practical significance: Recommendations for the use of algae directly in food, for obtaining therapeutic and prophylactic, medical products, pharmaceuticals, SFP, FFP, dietary supplements are shown. Their possible use is recommended as a remedy for the treatment of lung cancer and other tumors, diabetes and in the complex therapy of influenza and COVID‑19. Methods used: Data on the composition and properties of biologically active substances (BAS) of brown algae are given with the involvement of a review of foreign and domestic, published works and the results of our own research. During the research, modern instrumental methods were used
