Research study at UCLA "shows patients taking the garlic extract had
significantly less coronary plaque formation than did those
in the placebo group. The garlic extract also raised HDL, or "good," cholesterol,
and lowered homocysteine levels in study participants. Homocysteine
is an amino acid that can block arteries. (Article)

Broccoli Sprout Extract 510 mg
High source of sulfur, iron and B vitamins and rich in Chlorophyl
Broccoli sprouts appear to "contain 20 times more SGS than what is
found in mature broccoli. One ounce of sprouts equal about 3.5 cups of broccoli."

Broccoli sprouts "contain high levels of protective chemicals called
isothiocyanates. A specific isothiocyanate in broccoli sprouts named sulforaphane
glucosinolate (SGS) is a powerful phytochemical that can protect against cancer."

Orange Fruit Bioflavonoids 204 mg
Bioflavonoids, a group of phytochemicals that work together with vitamin
C to keep bodies healthy, help reduce the risk of cancer,
strengthen bones and teeth, help heal wounds,
keep skin healthy, and lower the risk of heart
attack. (1)
"Since bioflavonoids and vitamin C are powerful antioxidants
that work as a team, it's important to get these nutrients from the whole
foods that provide them—namely orange- and yellow-colored fruits and
vegetables," says Dr. Lorelei DiSogra, (2)
Previously known collectively as vitamin P, the bioflavonoids
include a number of vitamin C-like components that work together - citrin,
rutin, flavonols, catechin, proanthocyanidins, polyphenols and quercetin are
a few of the more common ones.
As a class, bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants which help protect
our bodies from harmful free radicals. They also have antiviral,
anticancer and anti allergenic actions.
The main source of bioflavonoids is the citrus fruits
- lemons, grapefruits,oranges, and to a lesser extent, limes. Apricots, cherries,
grapes (grape seed extract), black currants, plums, blueberries, blackberries,
pears and papayas are other fruit sources.(5)
They are generally contained in the edible pulp of the fruit rather than
in the strained juices.(5)
The bioflavonoids are helpful in the absorption of vitamin C and protect
the multifunctional vitamin C molecule from destruction, thereby improving
and prolonging its functioning.(5)
They are therefore indirectly, and possibly directly, involved in maintaining
the health of collagen. Collagen holds all the tissues of
the body together - it is a major component of bone, teeth and scar tissue
formed during wound healing and bone fractures.(5)
The collagen repair and anti-inflammatory action of bioflavonoids may also
help joint and connective tissue problems like tendonitis,
arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injury, fibromyalgia and
gout.(5)
Their main known function is to increase the strength of the capillaries.
In fact,the letter P, for permeability factor, was initially
given to this group of nutrients because of their role in improving the capillary
lining's permeability and integrity - that is, the passage of oxygen,
carbon dioxide, and nutrients through capillary walls. The capillaries
link the arteries to the veins - they deliver oxygen and nutrients to the
organs, tissues, and cells and then pick up carbon dioxide and wastes and
carry them through the veins and back to the heart. By their support of the
capillaries, bioflavonoids help to prevent haemorrhage and rupture of these
tiny vessels, which could lead to easy bruising. such as
bleeding gums, easy bruising and duodenal bleeding ulcers.(5)
There is also evidence that in conditions such as haemorrhoids,
varicose veins, spontaneous abortions, excessive menstrual bleeding and chronic
nosebleeds, the bioflavonoids may be helpful in maintaining capillary
health and reducing bleeding.(5)
They have also been used in asthma, allergies, bursitis and arthritis,
eye problems secondary to diabetes and as protection
from the harmful effects of radiation.(5)
Further research must be done to substantiate these claims.(5)
The protection that vitamin C gives against inflammatory problems,
as in arthritis, may be lost when the bioflavonoids are not
contained in sufficient amounts in the diet or if it is not supplemented.(5)
The Bioflavonoids are very safe and are thought not to
interact with any drugs.(5)
The body can't produce bioflavonoids, therefore they need to be obtained
through our diets.(5)
A high bioflavonoid intake has also been linked to a lower risk of heart
attack, although further investigation in this area is warranted.(5)
Bioflavonoids contribute to many vitamin C applications, for example, the
treatment of colds and flu's. (5)
