Ingredients:
The
essential is rich in five types of active flavonoids.
·
Flavonoids
are a ubiquitous group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds
characterized by the flavan nucleus and represent one of the most prevalent
classes of compounds in fruits, vegetables and plant-derived beverages.
·
More
than 8000 compounds with flavonoids structure have been identified, many of
which are responsible for the attractive colors of flowers, fruits and leaves.
In plants, these compounds afford protection against ultraviolet radiation,
pathogens, and herbivores.
·
Flavonoids
are considered as health promoting and disease preventing dietary supplements.
Epidemiological, clinical and animal studies reveal that flavonoids may exert
protective effects against various disease conditions including cardiovascular
disease and cancer.
·
Flavonoids
also possess antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Population studies have shown that flavonoid intake is inversely correlated
with mortality from cardiovascular disease.
·
Flavonoids
have been reported to beneficially impact parameters associated with
atherosclerosis, including lipoprotein oxidation, blood platelet aggregation,
and vascular reactivity. Antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and
hypolipidemic properties are illustrated to play a significant role in the
lower cardiovascular mortality observed with higher flavonoid intake. Thus
recently flavonoids are the focus of much current nutritional and therapeutic
interest.
