"Enter luteolin, a common plant flavonoid that has the healthy aging community buzzing. Scientific studies suggest luteolin supports healthy cellular function, which is critical to aging well. But like most flavonoids, luteolin has poor bioavailability. The solution? Life Extension collaborated with Akay Bioactives to develop a proprietary formula that would deliver superior bioavailability. Aptly named Bio-Luteolin™, this new addition to the brand's healthy aging product line is up to 14 times more bioavailable than regular luteolin supplements."
"Life Extension's new Bio-Luteolin™ supplement achieves higher bioavailability by combining luteolin with an innovative coating made from galactomannan fibers from fenugreek seeds. This formulation preserves luteolin through your digestive system, allowing it to circulate in the body. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, participants taking the luteolin with or without the fenugreek fiber coating in this formula had their blood plasma levels of luteolin measured for total and free luteolin: both were significantly increased in the formulated luteolin group compared with regular luteolin, with up to 10 times more free luteolin."
"'At the cellular level, luteolin has been shown to maintain cellular homeostasis and help guard against oxidative stress,' explained Kristen Dominguez, PhD, a Discovery Research Scientist with Life Extension. 'The 20 mg of luteolin in this novel formula equates to up to 280 mg of unformulated luteolin. This increase in bioavailability maximizes potential healthy aging benefits.'"
Eighty-seven percent of Americans said they are willing to take steps to live a longer, healthier life, per an Ipsos poll. Luteolin is a common plant flavonoid shown to support cellular homeostasis and help guard against oxidative stress, which is important for aging well. Luteolin normally has poor bioavailability, so Life Extension and Akay Bioactives formulated Bio-Luteolin™ to improve delivery. The product uses a galactomannan fiber coating from fenugreek seeds to preserve luteolin through digestion and increase circulation. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study found the formulation significantly raised total and free plasma luteolin, with up to 10 times more free luteolin, and 20 mg of the formula equates to up to 280 mg of unformulated luteolin.
