 FLAVONOIDS THAT ARE USED AS DRUGS


Studies indicate that flavonoids like Quercetin, Catechin, and Anthocyanins have potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving various conditions. Green tea, black tea, cocoa, red wine, soy, apples, pears, blueberries, hesperidin, Daflon, Silymarin, Pycnogenol®, and Flavopiridol have shown positive effects on inflammatory markers, diabetes risk, joint health, cancer, and COPD symptoms. However, more research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms and optimize their therapeutic use. Daflon reduced Edema, congestion, and inflammation in 100 participants over one week and improved pain, bleeding, and mucosal discharge in 105 participants over four weeks. Green tea extract intake over three months improved various health markers, including blood pressure, insulin tolerance,


lipid profile, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Silymarin supplementation for 90 days reduced joint swelling, pain, and tenderness in 44 participants. Pycnogenol® reduced C-reactive protein and inflammation in 67 osteoarthritis patients over three weeks and provided pain relief and reduced stiffness in 100 osteoarthritis patients over three months. Eight weeks of Quercetin supplementation reduced early morning stiffness pain in 50 rheumatoid arthritis patients. A study involving 13,651 adults supplemented with Catechins, flavonols, and flavones for four years found that Catechin reduced all symptoms of COPD, while flavonols and flavones reduced cough symptoms. These studies demonstrate the potential benefits of flavonoids in modulating inflammation and improving various health conditions. However, more research is needed to further understand their precise mechanisms.
