About the Ingredients in NeuroProtek® Low Phenol
“Flavonoids are a group of plant metabolites thought to provide health benefits through cell signalling pathways and antioxidant effects. These molecules are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables.” http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-are-Flavonoids.aspx
Luteolin: naturally occurring molecules known as bioflavonoids shown to be important in the body as a free radical scavengers.
Quercetin: a natural non-acidic flavonoid obtained from the saphora plant.
Rutin a non-acidic natural flavonoid that helps liberate quercetin in the intestine, making absorption easier. Rutin has been shown to be the strongest antioxidant in studies.
Olive Pomace Oil (Unprocessed, MicroFiltered): a unique oil (a lipid) plays an important role in increasing the absorbability of flavonoids.
Other Ingredients: Please see Supplement Facts in Ingredients tab above.
Why the chosen flavonoids?
Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds frequently found in green plants and seeds. In powder form, whether taken as pills, tablets or hard capsules, all flavonoids are difficult to absorb and are extensively metabolized to inactive ingredients in the liver. In fact, less than 10% of orally ingested flavonoids are absorbed.
In addition, very few flavonoids are beneficial; instead, many others such as morin show no activity, while pycnogenol is weakly active (as compared to luteolin or quercetin) but could cause liver toxicity.
As an additional consideration, the most common commercial source of the flavonoid quercetin is fava beans, which can be detrimental to blood cells in those of Mediterranean origin (15%), who lack the enzyme glucose-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Quercetin and its closely, structurally related flavonoids – rutin and luteolin, have potent antioxidant actions.
Can other preparations of the elect flavonoids be used?
There are about 3,000 flavonoids in nature and many impure flavonoids are sold under such names as
“bioflavonoids,” “citrus flavonoids,” “soy flavonoids,” or “pycnogenol.”
Even those preparations claiming to have only the select flavonoids, DO NOT specify either the source or the purity of the flavonoids. This problem is even worse given that many people could have reactions to the impurities, fillers or dyes.
The selection of specific beneficial flavonoids, as well as the source, purity and absorbability of those flavonoids were taken into consideration in order to develop the most beneficial product with the least amount of associated risk, NeuroProtek® LP.

Response from Dr. Theoharides regarding cutting open and mixing the ingredients with food or drink:
It’s ok to cut open and mix them. Please make sure you put the ingredients into a small amount of food or drink to confirm that all of the softgels ingredients are consumed. If you are using a blender, please check that the temperature does not become too high.
For dosage times, I recommend it is better to spread them during the day because they are cleared from the body within 4 hrs.
