A New Super-Polyphenol, Part 1

Oligonol, a new super-polyphenol. Lychee is the source of this plant antioxidant, but a new formulation by AminoUp, the same company that developed the popular immune enhancer AHCC, has revved the bio-availability of this phytonutrient. While anthocyanidins from berries are 0.1% bioavailable, and quercetin is 1-5% bioavailable, olIgonol boasts a bioavailability of greater than 60%. The result is that oligonol is a circulatory enhancer, an athletic performance promoter, a fatigue alleviator, and may support weight loss through its insulin-sensitizing activity. It also may support skin youthfulness via its effects on capillaries. Studies demonstrate its benefits for poor circulation to the hands in feet that result in painful, discolored extremities upon cold exposure. Dr. Jaime Salas specializes in sports nutrition for performance athletes and relies heavily on oligonol for facilitating recovery from heavy workouts. Click HERE for part 2.
