Original product name: TAXIFOLIN Dihydroquercetin

Taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) is a molecular variant of the flavonoid quercetin, but much better absorbed than traditional quercetin. Taxifolin is a flavonoid compound found in food such as onions and olive oil, larch, camphor pine and water safflower.[1,3]

Benefits at a Glance:

• Inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress

• Supports the circulatory system and endothelial health

• Supports liver health

• Supports the body's fight against seasonal infections

• Supports bone health

• Suitable for vegetarians due to Vcaps® capsule

Taxifolin as an antioxidant

The chemical structure of Taxifolin allows it to fight free radicals much more effectively than other flavonoids.[1,2]

Some research shows that taxifolin could be used to treat allergic and inflammatory conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties.[1]

Taxifolin and cardiovascular health

Taxifolin may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. It protects the cardiovascular system by protecting the integrity of the endothelium of blood vessels.

In porcine coronary artery rings studies, showed Taxifolin's vasorelaxant effect.[4]

Taxifolin helps maintain the healthy lipid profile of the liver and lipid excretion at optimal levels. Taxifolin prevents hyperlipidemia by reducing the esterification of cellular cholesterol, phospholipid, and triacylglycerol synthesis.[1]

Taxifolin and liver health

Taxifolin reverses acute alcohol-induced liver injury by alleviating oxidative stress injury. One of new study, for the first time shows, that Taxifolin can reduce alcoholic liver toxicity.[11]
By regulating the glutathione pathway, Taxifolin protects also against paracetamol-induced liver injury.[12]

Taxifolin, seasonal infections and respiratory health

There is growing evidence that taxifolin plays very important role in respiratory disease. Taxifolin shows as an effective treatment for acute lung injury. It inhibits inflammation caused by acute lung injury.[1,7]

Taxifolin has also been shown to encourage a healthy immune response, especially to seasonally changing environments.

Taxifolin and bone health

The balance of bones is maintained by the interaction of osteoclast bone resorption and osteoblastic osteogenesis. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, taxifolin plays important role in the regulation and balance of bone metabolism. Moreover, taxifolin alleviated bone loss caused by oophorectomy.[1,8]

In another in vitro study, taxifolin inhibited RANKL*-induced osteoclast differentiation in human bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) without cytotoxicity. In a mouse calvarial osteolysis model in vivo, taxifolin also prevented bone loss as assessed.[1,9,10]
