FlavonAll

FlavonAll®, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is a convenient dietary multi-flavonoid supplement designed to provide a broad spectrum of beneficial antioxidant flavonoids in nutritionally meaningful amounts. FlavonAll delivers these flavonoids in the form of eight potent standardized extracts that are of the highest quality available.

FUNCTIONS
Flavonoids are a class of phytochemicals that are responsible for many of the brilliant colors of fruits and vegetables. They are perhaps the most beneficial phytochemicals found in food. Flavonoids are extremely potent antioxidants, scavenging many potentially damaging free radicals. Some flavonoids appear to be much more potent antioxidants than even beta-carotene, vitamin C or vitamin E. Many flavonoids are also capable of binding to metal ions, which prevents these metals from acting as catalysts that enhance free radical production in the body. Many flavonoids support the health of the body’s circulatory system by helping maintain proper vascular permeability, integrity, and resiliency. Flavonoids also have a wide array of other biochemical functions. For example, flavonoids are involved in immune function, gene expression, capillary and cerebral blood flow, platelet aggregation, liver function, enzyme activity, and collagen, phospholipid, cholesterol, and histamine metabolism.

Pycnogenol and Grape Seed Extract. Pine bark extract (Pycnogenol®) and grape seed extract are rich in proanthocyanidins, which are highly regarded for their strong antioxidant properties and their role in supporting
the body’s connective tissues and capillary blood vessel system. FlavonAll provides the original pine bark extract from the European coastal pine (Pinus maritima) containing 80 to 85% proanthocyanidins. A high-quality
European grape seed extract (from Vitis vinifera) with a minimum of 92% proanthocyanidins is also included. Typical maintenance amounts of pine bark or grape seed extract are about 0.5 milligram per pound body weight
per day. Accordingly, FlavonAll provides 75 mg of a combination of both extracts in a suggested daily intake of two tablets.

Red Grape Skin Extract. The skins of red and black grapes are rich in the dark red-violet flavonoids, the anthocyanins that are also present in red wine. Studies show that these flavonoids are surprisingly strong antioxidants. They are many times more potent than vitamin E, helping prevent the detrimental oxidation of blood lipoproteins. FlavonAll contains 100 mg of a concentrated extract made from the skins of Spanish red grapes providing a minimum of 30% anthocyanins.

INDICATIONS
FlavonAll may be taken as a dietary supplement for individuals who wish to increase their intake of a broad spectrum of nutritionally important flavonoids.
