Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
An open-label pilot study: assessment the effectiveness and tolerability in white children with autism spectrum disorders of a dietary supplement containing 2 flavonoids (>95% pure), luteolin (100 mg/capsule, from chamomile) and quercetin (70 mg/capsule), and the quercetin glycoside rutin (30 mg/capsule) from the Sophora japonica leaf, formulated in olive kernel oil to increase oral absorption.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
17.5 uM luteolin inhibits MCF-7 cell proliferation by about 50% at 48 hours following treatment and appears cytostatic but non toxic
