• Quercetin is a flavonoid exhibiting antioxidant activity by reducing DNA damage caused by oxidative stress through indirect metabolites or conjugates of quercetin itself.

• Contains powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers, including quercetin and polyphenols from Green Tea (Camellia sinensis). Biological antioxidants can scavenge and destroy free radicals, which are reactive agents formed in the body and which can damage cell membranes and metabolic intermediates susceptible to oxidation. Biological antioxidants can help repair cell membranes damaged by oxidation.

• Oligofructose is a dietary fiber that is produced by the partial enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin. Like all dietary fibers, oligofructose is not digested in the stomach or small intestine but is completely fermented in the colon and therefore contributes to better gut function. Oligofructose is selectively fermented by Bifidobacteria and boosts the total number of these microorganisms present in the large intestine. Bifidobacteria are widely recognized as having beneficial effects on their hosts, including: the stimulation of the immune system, prevention of growth of pathogenic species, increased mineral absorption, cancer inhibition and improvements in blood lipid metabolism.

• Ginkgosides from Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) may enhance mental acuity.

• Thermogenic, can stimulate lipolysis, and can help boost energy by increasing metabolic rate.

• Daily intake helps maintain a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenging defense system, and is beneficial for maintaining sustained energy levels and, when used in conjunction with dietary programs, assisting with weight loss.

1. Study Says Young Adults are a Primary Target for Phytonutrients - Nutritional Outlook - 5/16/11

"[T]he potential roles some phytonutrients can play in healthy aging: “…carotenoids such as lycopene and beta-carotene may offer breast, ovarian and other health benefits for women, while flavonoids such as quercetin and anthocyanidins may support brain health. Ellagic acid, found in foods like pomegranates, strawberries and walnuts, may help ward off some cancers, including breast and prostate.”
