What is Luteolin

Luteolin is a powerful antioxidant that belongs to the family of plant compounds, which also includes well-known 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 is concentrated from the honey tree (Sophora japonica) of particularly higher 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.
