Description

For the latest in antioxidant protection from a blend of bioflavonoids, try Swanson Luteolin Complex. Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) are plant-derived nutrients that show great promise for promoting overall well-being. Luteolin has been widely studied for potential benefits for human heart and brain health, cognition, longevity and more.

Mitochondria (the energy center of every cell) function, or rather the decline thereof, is believed to be a primary cause of aging. This “mitochondrial theory of aging” is closely tied to the “free radical theory” in that free radicals are produced within cells by the energy-producing function of the mitochondria. A number of reports suggest that luteolin may defend against mitochondrial aging by activating these cellular antioxidants. This free-radical defense may extend to the brain as well, making it a unique product for cognitive nourishment and support.

Emerging research also supports the traditional use of luteolin in support of cardiovascular health again thanks to its flavonoid antioxidant content. Additionally, luteolin contributes to metabolic health by acting as an inhibitor of DPP-IV (dipeptidyl-peptidase-4), an enzyme that is a factor in the breakdown of the GLP-1 hormone. GLP-1 is currently at the forefront of weight management attention.

It’s also important to note that not all luteolin supplements are equal. Luteolin is not bioavailable on its own. It requires the presence of other bioflavonoids in order to be metabolized the body and reach the cells in active form. Luteolin is often accompanied by rutin, which “unlocks” its potential to promote human health. Swanson Luteolin Complex delivers pure, natural luteolin and rutin in perfect balance for optimal biological benefit.

FAQ

How does luteolin work in the body?
Luteolin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that provides antioxidant support to help protect cells from oxidative stress. It also supports healthy cellular signaling and overall cellular function, making it a popular ingredient in healthy aging and wellness formulas.
How is luteolin different from quercetin?
Luteolin and quercetin are both plant-derived flavonoids with antioxidant properties, but they are different compounds found in different foods. While they share some complementary functions, each has unique biological properties, which is why they are often included together in antioxidant and healthy aging supplements.
What is rutin, and what does it do in the body?
Rutin is a naturally occurring bioflavonoid found in foods such as buckwheat, citrus fruits, and apples. It provides antioxidant support and helps maintain healthy blood vessels and circulation, contributing to overall cardiovascular wellness.
Why combine luteolin and rutin?
Luteolin and rutin are complementary flavonoids that work together to provide broad-spectrum antioxidant support. Together, they help protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting healthy circulation, cellular function, and overall wellness.
Is Swanson Luteolin Complex suitable for special diets?
Yes. Swanson Luteolin Complex is suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles and is made with non-GMO ingredients. This product is not formulated or certified to be dairy-free or gluten-free, so individuals with dietary sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
