Taxifolin BC-DHQ®

Taxifolin BC-DHQ® known as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, taxifolin is a flavonoid found in a variety of foods, including apples and onions, as well as milk thistle and larch trees. Emerging research suggests taxifolin may support immune, respiratory, skin and cellular health benefits. Taxifolin’s powerful antioxidant properties also make it a perfect natural alternative to synthetic chemicals for food preservation.

Benefit Areas
  • Antioxidant Support
    • Taxifolin has a greater antioxidant capacity than vitamin C.
  • Cellular Health
    • Taxifolin may neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative cellular damage.
  • Immune Health
    • Emerging evidence suggest that taxifolin may have immunomodulatory activity supporting its role in a healthy immune response.
  • Respiratory Health
    • A study in 112 subjects showed taxifolin as an adjuvant supported respiratory function.
  • Skin Health
    • In human skin cells, taxifolin performed better than retinoic acid in down- regulating MMP-1, an enzyme responsible for collagen degradation  associated with sun exposure.
    • Emerging evidence suggests oral taxifolin supplementation may support a healthy inflammatory response related to skin conditions.
  • Food Preservation
    • Taxifolin inhibited lipid peroxidation and possessed antioxidant activity  similar to Trolox, α-tocopherol, BHT, and BHA.
    • Superficial treatment of 0.2% or 0.5% taxifolin improved quality and shelf life of packaged meat and salmon respectively.

Technical Details & Test Data

Scientific Studies

Antioxidant Activity
A study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant and antiradical activities of taxifolin using different in vitro bioanalytical methods.

  • Design:
    • Pure taxifolin was compared with other standard antioxidants including BHA, BHT, α-tocopherol, and Trolox
  • Outcomes:
    • Taxifolin demonstrated 81% inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation at 30 μg/ml, which is similar to inhibition by other antioxidants
    • Taxifolin also exhibited effective DMPD•+, ABTS•+, O2•- and DPPH• scavenging effects, reducing capabilities, and Fe2+ chelating effects.

Respiratory Health
A clinical study investigated the effect of oral taxifolin supplement as an adjuvant in men who suffered from acute compromised respiratory function.

  • Design:
    • 112 subjects were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (n=50) received standard therapy, group 2 (n=32) received standard therapy plus α-tocopherol acetate and sodium thiosulphate, group 3 (n=30) received the standard therapy plus 40-60 mg of taxifolin four times a day
  • Outcomes:
    • Compared to controls, the group that received taxifolin supplementation showed a more rapid respiratory immune response, a tendency towards improved indicators of respiratory function, and increased levels of endogenous antioxidants
