What is Luteolin
Luteolin is a powerful antioxidant that belongs to the family of plant compounds, which also includes common names such as resveratrol and quercetin. This yellow-colored substance occurs naturally as a glycoside in various fruits, vegetables, plants and herbs. The glycosides are essential for protecting the plant against external influences, such as weather conditions and insects.
How is luteolin made
In our luteolin supplement, the powder concentrated from the honey tree (Sophora japonica) is of a particularly high quality (no less than 98%+ purity). The supplement is completely plant-based and therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Due to its powerful antioxidant effect, it contributes to a healthy and vital body.
