Vitexin + Isovitexin Isoflavones
Also known as: Vitexin, Isovitexin, C-glucosyl flavone
Vitexin and isovitexin are flavonoid compounds (specifically C-glycosyl flavones) with antioxidant properties found in various plants. In vitro and animal evidence suggests potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, though human clinical data is limited.
Primary uses
- Antioxidant support
- Potential neuroprotection
