Pure encapsulations / Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoid antioxidant formula

*Bioflavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments with powerful
antioxidant properties. Proanthocyanidins, polyphenols and
catechins are some of the terms used in describing compounds
of the bioflavonoid family. Grape seed extract contains oligomeric
proanthocyanidins, providing protective support for capillaries
and blood vessels. Resveratrol, the polyphenol most commonly
associated with the health benefits of red wine, provides additional
antioxidant support for blood vessel integrity. Catechins found in
green tea are a class of polyphenols that promote cardiovascular,
immune and cellular function. The antioxidant activity of green tea
catechins, specifically epigallocatechin gallate, also protects cells
from lipid peroxidation and has been shown to enhance antioxidant
enzymes in skin exposed to sunlight. In addition, green tea has
demonstrated the ability to preserve and promote vitamin E levels
in the body. Silymarin is a well-known bioflavonoid complex derived
from milk thistle that stabilizes hepatic cell membranes and
scavenges free radicals and toxins in the liver. One of silymarinOs
mechanisms may involve promoting superoxide dismutase
antioxidant enzyme activity.

BioflavonexTM combines natural, concentrated bioflavonoid extracts for
cardiovascular, liver, and cellular antioxidant protection. It may be
taken alone, or provide complementary support to Nutrient 950R and
UltraNutrientR multivitamins, as well as other antioxidants including
vitamins C and E for an optimal range of antioxidant activity in
the body.

Hesperidin Plus^TM

Inhibits histamine release and supports capillaries

*Hesperidin, a bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, is a crucial part of
the vitamin C family. Hesperidin nutritionally supports the strength of
the capillaries. It has similar nutritional support as quercetin, and is
therefore useful for those hypersensitive to quercetin. The Hesperidin
Plus. formula combines hesperidin with bromelain, an enzyme which
aids in the absorption of hesperidin, providing optimum utilization of
this bioflavonoid.

Hesperidin Plus. offers a highly bioavailable form of hesperidin,
providing a natural way to support the strength of the capillary walls.

each vegetable capsule contains

hesperidin methyl chalcone ............................................................. 250 mg.
bromelain (2,400 gdu/gram).............................................................125 mg.
vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) ......................................................... 9 mg.

1-2 capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals.

Quercetin

Inhibits histamine release and degranulation

*Quercetin has been shown to be one of the most pharmacologically
active flavonoids.

Quercetin inhibits the synthesis of enzymes necessary for the release
and degranulation of histamine.
