Bioflavonoid compounds in fruits and vegetables have powerful antioxidant and cardioprotective activities that are independent of the vitamins and minerals naturally present in these foods. Most notably, bioflavonoids are able to combat oxidative and free radical damage that can negatively impact the cardiovascular system. A higher dietary intake of bioflavonoids has been linked to a significantly reduced risk of stroke and heart disease. Each bioflavonoid has its own unique benefits, but they have synergistic benefits when used together.
Resveratrol is a bioflavonoid found in grape skin and often cited for the health benefits associated with red wine consumption. Research supports that resveratrol supplementation may improve blood flow and left ventricular function in individuals after a heart attack. Improvements in insulin sensitivity, blood sugar, lipid markers, and cerebral blood flow have also been noted in clinical trials with resveratrol.
Blueberry, grape seed, and blackcurrant are all plants that contain cyanidins. Cyanidins are actually a group of bioflavonoid compounds, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins, anthocyanosides, and cyanidin-3-glucoside, which collectively improve the integrity of blood vessels and microcirculation. Grape seed extract, in particular, has been shown to reduce blood pressure and heart rate in people with metabolic syndrome, while also improving blood circulation and reducing leg swelling in sedentary women. Blackcurrant, on the other hand, has been shown to improve vascular flow to the eyes, night vision, and eye fatigue.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid compound found primarily in apples and onions. It is best known as a natural antihistamine capable of stabilizing mast cells and reducing allergy symptoms. It has also been shown to increase HDL cholesterol, inhibit LDL cholesterol oxidation, and reduce numerous inflammatory markers, making it a potent cardioprotective agent.
Resvera Matrix is an evidence-based formulation blend of these bioflavonoids combined with coenzyme Q10 for optimal blood vessel and cardiovascular support. These nutrients work synergistically as an antioxidant network to improve blood flow in chronic venous insufficiency and improve cardiovascular health outcomes.
