FLAVINOX
ANTIOXIDANT
ANTI-ALLERGY FORMULA
Each
bottle contains 60 caps

Dose: For Seasonal Allergies: Take 3 Capsules twice daily until symptoms subside then reduce the dose as your allergies improve.
FLAVINOX™is a potent antioxidant and antihistamine formula designed to
enhance immune function and reduce symptoms associated with allergies
without causing drowsiness.
Vitis vinifera (Grape) seeds contain a flavanol group similar
to bioflavonoids, but distinct by being more highly water-soluble,
bioavailable and electrophillic (capable of scavenging free radicals
- shown to be 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times more
potent than Vitamin E).
The
highest quality standardized Grape Seed Extract contains 98-100%
polyphenols, including Catechin, Epicatechin and Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes
(OPC), which are composed of dimers, trimers, and tetramers (the most bioactive
components) but not the longer tannins.
Catechin, and especially the stabilized Catechins found in OPC, reduce excessive histamine release from mast cells
and prevent its production by blocking the enzyme histidine decarboxylase.
OPC also inhibits the excessive production of hyaluronidase, which
activates mast cell degranulation and release of histamine into
the surrounding tissue.
Camelia
sinensis (Green Tea) extract contains at least seven functionally
active compounds including (+)-catechin (C), (+)-gallocatechin (GC),
(-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallo-catechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin
gallate (ECG) and (-)-epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG). It has been
shown to possess very strong antioxidant activity against hydroxyl
(OH) and superoxide (02-) free radicals, as well as lipid peroxidation.
It has been shown to be many times more potent than Vitamin C or
Vitamin E, to protect against Vitamin E consumption by free radicals
and to chelate Iron. Green Tea provides potent
anti-allergy activity as well as antimutagenic activity. (+)Catechin
and (-)Epicatechin have been shown to inhibit deoxyribose (DNA)
damage by reacting with hydroxyl (OH) free radicals.), antibacterial,
hypocholesterolemic, antitumor and cancer preventive activities.
The active Green Tea compounds were tested in vitro against each
of four human tumor cells lines (MCF-7 breast carcinoma, HT-29 colon
carcinoma, A-427 lung carcinoma and UACC-375 melanoma) and found
to possess significant chemopreventive activity.
Quercetin is another important flavonoid. It is a potent
antioxidant of its own and functions in sparing Vitamin C. It has
significant anti-allergy activity through its ability to inhibit
both the manufacture and release of histamine and other allergic
/ inflammatory agents. Quercetin also demonstrates significant antitumor
activity against a wide range of cancers, including squamous cell
carcinoma; leukemia; and cancers of the breast, ovaries, colon,
rectum, and brain in animal and in vitro studies.
Vitamin
C
functions as a principle antioxidant of aqueous (water) environments
in the body, both outside and inside the human cells. It is
an essential nutrient that the body must consume on a daily
basis to survive. Vitamin C is responsible for regenerating
Vitamin E and works along with the antioxidant enzymes such
as glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase.
It functions as both an antioxidant to protects cells of the
body and a pro-oxidant in the fight against viruses. It needs
to be taken in association with flavonoids such as OPC and
Quercetin for optimal function and buffering of its pro-oxidant
effects.
