- Belong to a class of antioxidants called flavonoids, which support capillary wall stability and healthy collagen development, balance immune response and provide cardiovascular protection by reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol
- Less likely to cause urinary/stomach distress than many of the foods that contain flavonoids
- Inhibits the release of histamines and other immune mediators, thus helping reduce nocturia, daytime frequency, pain, burning, pressure and pain with sex
- Decreases production of the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that cause systemic inflammation
- Anti-histamine component in Cysta-Q (Farr Laboratories) and CystoProtek (Algonot), both studied for IC/BPS with successful results
