DESCRIPTION Flavoxan provides the body with flavonoids, a varied group of polyphenols. There is a lot of scientific interest in this large group of powerful antioxidants & free radical scavengers, which

Includes:: more than 8, 000 compounds. Although the flavonoids are very diverse, all of them have been derived from a limited number of basic structures. All flavonoids are composed of several phenyl rings (polyphenols). A phenol group contains an aromatic ring bonded directly to a hydroxyl group (-OH). Flavonoids protect the plant (or seeds) from harmful UV irradiation. That is why flavonoids in fruit & vegetables are often found in the outer peeling or just underneath. Flavonoids are responsible for the, sometimes brightly coloured, pigmentations of fruits & vegetables. The flavones & flavonols give a yellow colour; the anthocyanins provide the red, violet & blue of, for example, grapes, blueberries & strawberries. Flavoxan contains powerful antioxidants that are many times stronger than vitamin C & vitamin E. It protects against radicals through replenishing & regenerating antioxidants & by binding prooxidative metals. The flavonoids in Flavoxan stimulate the production of nitrogen monoxide (NO), an important regulator in the body. This way Flavoxan protects against various age-related symptoms. Another important aspect of Flavoxan is to support important barriers in the body, such as vessel walls. The ORAC-value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of Flavoxan is very high for the hydrophilic as well as for the lipophilic fraction. The ORAC-test is an in vitro test that makes it possible to compare the antioxidative capacity of nutrients & nutritional supplements. Most important features of Flavoxan:      Very broad spectrum of various flavonoids & polyphenols      Extracts mostly present in standardised form      Powerful antioxidant effect:      Total ORAC-value of 7251 mcmol TE per daily dosage (2 capsules)      Hydrophilic ORAC-value of 4301 mcmol TE per daily dosage (2 capsules)      Lipophilic ORAC-value of 2950 mcmol TE per daily dosage (2 capsules) The ORAC-value is expressed in Trolox equivalents (TE), which is a comparison to the Trolox standard. USE Take 2 capsules a day, during or immediately after a meal. For intensive use the dose can be increased to 4 capsules per day. Capsule may be opened if experiencing difficulties with swallowing. WARNING Interactions with regular medication & natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this. SYNERGISM Flavonoids are not the only compounds that play a role in the protection against free radicals. Santioxan provides the most important vitaminic antioxidants, as well as L-cysteine, an important precursor of glutathione. When using Santioxan in conjunction with Flavoxan, two significant fronts are utilised to protect against free radicals. RELATED PRODUCTS Santioxan, OPC 50 mg plus.
