Luteolin 50mg

• Supports mitochondria quality and function
• Helps fight oxidative stress
• Supports brain health

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

It has been shown after careful research that many health conditions stem from inflammation. Luteolin is anti-inflammatory.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) often trigger inflammation in the body and can lead to bacterial infections. However, studies suggest that luteolin supplements are capable of inhibiting the inflammation and possibly protecting the body against infections.

Aside from bacterial infections, luteolin might help the body fight off viral infections. In studies done with mice, luteolin inhibited the spread of Epstein-Barr and Hepatitis B.

Like quercetin or rutin, luteolin suppresses allergen-induced inflammatory response by inhibiting lipoxygenase. As a potent inhibitor of mastocyte production of histamine and other inflammatory substances, it can aid the development of new types of anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy drugs.

In vitro studies also show that certain flavonoids, particularly luteolin, found in artichokes, prevent oxidation of LDL-cholesterol and may possibly reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Mitochondrial Quality Combatant

We know from research that a reduction in efficiency of the mitochondria – the cells' powerhouses – leads to increased generation of free radicals.

Some studies suggest that luteolin may promote mitochondrial care by activating cellular antioxidant production.

Neurological functions, such as memory, cognition, and motor function, can be disrupted by interleukin 6 (IL-6) type cytokines. These molecules cause inflammation of healthy cells and prevent them from functioning optimally.

Certain studies involving mice have shown that luteolin can eliminate excessive inflammatory cytokines in the brain, such as interleukin 6 and interleukin 1b, by acting on microglial cells, thus maintaining cognitive function, particularly memory and learning. In addition, luteolin helps reduce levels of amyloid protein by protecting mitochondria from free radical attack.

Oxidative Stress Relief

Oxidative stress refers to the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. This imbalance has been linked to several aspects of overall health including:

• Atherosclerosis
• Inflammatation
• Blood pressure
• Heart health
• Brain health

Studies show luteolin, along with other flavonoids, to be effective at counteracting oxidative damage to DNA (using the Trolox test). This natural substance is able to prevent oxidative damage to cellular DNA from occurring, thus enabling DNA integrity to remain intact.

In addition, enzymatic and genetic activity depends on the constant re-methylation of DNA, which protects the body from a whole range of degenerative conditions. Luteolin may help maintain healthy methylation, preventing mutations to DNA that damage cells.

Recently, luteolin has been linked to stimulation of apoptosis and to inhibition of cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis.

This natural substance is completely non-toxic. The ideal serving size for optimal efficacy has been defined as 100 mg a day. Since its effects are maximized by other flavonoids, the best time to take luteolin is during the main meals of the day.

In order to ensure you are maximizing luteolin’s health benefits, it is important to know how much luteolin to take. We recommend adults to take 1 capsule of 50 mg capsule twice a day, totaling 100 mg, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. SuperSmart Luteolin is a pure luteolin supplement containing no other ingredients.
