Users of Many Dietary Supplements Found Far Healthier than General Population

Researchers at the University of California found that individuals who consume 17 or more different dietary supplements per day were found to be far more healthy than those who take no supplements or those who only take a multiple vitamin. The vitamin-taking group had much better nutrient concentrations in their blood and far lower amounts of disease-related biomarkers...

Flavonoids Reduce Cancer Risk

Flavonoids are a natural component of fruits, vegetables, red wine, and many dietary supplements that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. Those with the most flavonoids in their diet had a 47% less risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (lymphatic system related white blood cell cancers).

Citrus Flavonoids are Potent Metabolic Boosters & Anti-carcinogens

Special types of citrus-derived flavonoids, known as polymethoxyflavones, especially nobiletin and tangeretin, are inversely associated with cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have shown them to be effective in lowering cholesterol in humans as well as helping to prevent the accumulation of LDL cholesterol in the lining of arteries. Even relatively small amounts of them can activate gene signals that help to correctly metabolize cholesterol. A new study shows that nobiletin can boost adiponectin levels and reduce inflammation within white adipose tissue, thereby significantly improving insulin resistance and lowering high blood sugar. Additionally, a significant body of research has been accumulating in the past few years showing that polymethoxflavones are powerful nutrients in cancer prevention.

Dietary Flavonoids Boost Cellular DHA Levels

An important concept of health is having adequate intake of omega 3 essential fatty acids, especially DHA. It is also important to have the ability to incorporate these fats into your cell membranes. A new animal study shows that one way this is accomplished is by dietary flavonoids such as those highly concentrated in grapes and blueberries.

Flavonoids May Help Reverse Brain Aging

Flavonoids are found in the coloring pigment of fruits and have long been recognized for their antioxidant activity. This is a key reason why fruit is so important to the human diet. A new animal study shows that in addition to antioxidant properties, they also have an ability to regulate cellular function in the brain, turning back the clock.
