What are Cinnamon and Pomegranate Extracts and why were they added to the Bioflavonoid complex?
Bioflavonoids are a diverse group of naturally occurring plant compounds that exhibit a host of biological activities, most notably for their powerful antioxidant properties that complement, extend, and synergize the antioxidant activities of other nutrients making them an important nutritional component in the HealthPak 100. Pomegranates are a good source of antioxidants. The type of antioxidant in pomegranate is somewhat different than the compounds already in the complex, and as such adds to the biodiversity of the complex. Cinnamon extract contains bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins that are very similar to the proanthocyanidins from grape seed. Again this is a new type of antioxidant in the complex. Cinnamon has been studied for its effect on increasing insulin sensitivity and help in controlling blood sugar levels.
