Flavay® can have a dramatic, visible effect on your skin. The nutrients in Flavay® can be considered as 'collagen vitamins' because they partake in the biosynthesis of collagen and prevent its destruction. (3,8,18,19)

Flavay® is Proven as a Skin Nutrient

Laboratory tests have demonstrated Flavay’s® ability to reduce degradation of elastin fibers by up to 70 percent. (18,19)

Through synergistic action with vitamin C, Flavay® strengthens and rebuilds the body’s natural collagen proteins and has the remarkable ability to reactivate damaged collagen and elastin. Research has demonstrated that Flavay® binds to collagen fibers and realigns them to a more youthful, undamaged form. (The same research also established that common bioflavonoids are completely inactive in this respect.) Flavay® helps prevent the undesirable cross-linking between amino acids that ages skin like leather while improving the beneficial cross-linking between the amino acids of the fibers that give skin its flexibility and strength. (18,19,25,33)

Flavay’s® ability to reactivate damaged collagen and elastin has great implications for all of your body’s organs. Collagen is required for the normal functioning of the joints, healthy cartilage and bones, smooth gliding surfaces, synovial fluid, normal joint spaces and normal soft tissues surrounding the joints. Collagen is the building block of connective tissue, veins, arteries, ligaments and tendons, and every tissue and organ. (3,8,10)

Flavay® Improves Circulation to Skin Cells

Improved circulation is another reason that Flavay® is an important part of optimally nourishing your skin. Over 60 years of scientific and clinical research establishes that Flavay® actually strengthens collagen in vascular walls and capillaries (the smallest vessels), by making the vessels stronger and more elastic. As we age, the tiny capillaries begin to break down, resulting in diminished blood flow. Fortifying these tiny blood vessels will improve circulation throughout the body, including the skin, delivering blood and nutrients to your skin. Improved circulation results in well-nourished, healthy skin—which is radiant and more youthful. (56,75)

Inflammations and Edema

Flavay® has been licensed and sold in France for treating edema and inflammations since 1950. Puffiness of the eyes and an overall bloated look and feel are examples of edema. It involves the leakage of blood serum into surrounding tissues and Flavay® has shown that it can reduce this leakage by strengthening capillary walls. (19,25,81)

One of the very first benefits observed and studied by the inventor of Flavay®, Dr. Jack Masquelier, in as early as 1947, was its anti-inflammatory effect. His and others' research demonstrated that Flavay® inhibits the release and synthesis of histamine (which produces accelerated blood flow, dilates capillaries and increases their permeability, thereby leaking plasma into surrounding tissue), a key factor in the promotion of inflammation. Numerous studies demonstrate the anti-histamine action of Flavay® is obtained through inhibiting the activity of the enzyme histidine decarboxylase. Research shows that Flavay® may lower the production of histamine with as much as 86 percent inhibition of histidine decarboxylase. Inflammatory reactions are not limited to edema and other problems typically associated to vascular diseases; the factors that cause inflammation can also cause conditions like allergies, bronchitis, and arthritis. (1,2,35,56,77)

Fortifying Immune Function

A strong immune system is the cornerstone of good health—if the immune system is weak, it will eventually affect the other systems of the body. Flavay® can boost your immune system in several important ways. First, by increasing the activity of vitamin C, another important immune booster, Flavay® gives the immune system more ammunition to fight infection. Second, research demonstrates that Flavay® prevents free radical damage to macrophages, a type of white blood cell that generates nitric oxide to destroy bacteria, viruses, and host parasites. (10)

Flavay’s® ability to help regulate nitric oxide can profoundly influence the body’s immune functions. As long as nitric oxide is produced in the right amount, it is beneficial to the body, but if nitric oxide is overproduced, the effect can be toxic. When produced by immune cells, nitric oxide fights infection, kills tumor cells, and promotes wound healing. But when produced in excess by immune cells, nitric oxide can trigger chronic inflammation, which can cause arthritis, colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. (3,8,10)

Protection Against Brain Aging

Decline in brain function is the most disturbing part of aging. Our brain makes up who we are, our personal identity, and what makes us uniquely human. Our brain must be carefully protected from decline, whether due to aging or disease.

Flavay’s® antioxidant protection of brain cells is significant as recent studies have established a connection between free radical damage and cognitive impairment. Research demonstrates that Flavay® helps regulate nitric oxide: a colorless gas produced by many different cells in the body: from endothelial cells on the walls of the arteries to the neurons in the brain to the disease-fighting cells of the immune system. Nitric oxide modulates communication between brain cells and is thereby deeply involved in concentration, learning and memory. And, by controlling the muscular tone of blood vessels, nitric oxide regulates circulation and normalizes blood flow. As long as nitric oxide is produced in the right amount, it is beneficial to the body. Overproduction of nitric oxide, however, promotes production of more free radicals in the brain, which can hamper mental function and cause memory loss and brain aging. Thus, Flavay’s® ability to help maintain the optimal level of nitric oxide profoundly influences brain (and immune) functions. (10,14)

There is also evidence that Flavay® may help the body to regulate enzymes which control the crucial neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, chemicals that carry messages among brain cells and are involved in excitatory responses. Flavay’s® ability to support healthy blood flow to the brain is also important to brain function. Researchers have shown that decreased blood flow to the brain plays a major role in age-related brain disorders. Flavay® may also help deliver other nutrients to the brain, such as zinc and selenium, which are essential to normal brain function, according to recent research. Preliminary studies have confirmed what many users of this remarkable complex have experienced: striking benefits in improved concentration and mental focus. (2,3,15)

Synergistic Help for Brain Function, Memory & Acuity

FLAVAY PLUS®

Current research demonstrates that antioxidants work synergistically with one another in the body. Flavay Plus® utilizes this dynamic with a synergistic blend of Flavay® and antioxidant vitamins and minerals and phytonutrients; formulated to boost the brain and immune functions—thereby benefiting the whole body.

Flavay Plus® is formulated with phosphatidyl serine, a complex of amino and fatty acids extracted from soy lecithin, which has proven to be a safe, potentially effective therapeutic agent in treating memory deficit disorders and is an often-used supplement for attention deficit disorders. Phosphatidyl serine has been the subject of many human clinical trials regarding memory loss, mood, cognitive performance, learning ability and stress. Many studies show that phosphatidyl serine can optimize cognition. In the most famous human study, researchers gave 300 mg of phosphatidyl serine a day for 12 weeks to 149 subjects over 50. Various memory and learning tests were administered before and after. The results showed that phosphatidyl serine managed to raise cognitive performance to the levels typical for as much as 12 years younger. (110,114)

Published, double-blind research shows that phosphatidyl serine can also be helpful for depression. Phosphatidyl serine is a phospholipid that is vital to brain cell structure and function. Phospholipids are molecules containing both amino and fatty acid components, which are found in every cell membrane in our bodies. Phosphatidyl serine plays an important role in our neurotransmitter systems, in metabolism levels of the brain, and in maintaining nerve connections in the brain. It appears to help reestablish the normal down-regulation of cortisol secretion that is increased in chronically stressed individuals, and its benefit in dementia and depression may relate to improved brain cell membrane fluidity. In the clinical studies, phosphatidyl serine (100 mg three times daily) has been shown to improve the mood and mental function in those with Parkinson’s disease. (110,113,119)

Scientific studies demonstrate phosphatidyl serine supplementation can increase the output of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter so important to memory. Clinical trials with elderly patients suffering from memory deficit disorders have shown that adding phosphatidyl serine to the daily diet improved the ability of these patients to think and decreased behavioral disturbances. In other studies, phosphatidyl serine also improved the performance of patients with age-associated memory impairment, a disorder affecting millions of Americans each year. (106-145)

Flavay Plus® utilizes the dynamic interplay between these nutrients and their co-factors in order to provide you and your family with the best that nutritional science has to offer in a convenient, cost effective capsule.

Proven Safety of Flavay®

After more than 60 years of human use, no adverse effects have been observed. Furthermore, intensive biological, toxicological, pharmacological and analytical research was conducted for the purpose of registering it as a medicine in France and other countries in Europe. In one study, daily doses of up to 35,000 mg for six months were determined to cause no adverse effects. Flavay® was also clinically tested, in particular for all sorts of symptoms related to venolymphatic insufficiencies (strenghthening veins, improving circulation and reducing edema and inflammations). The spin-off is a goldmine of data: The rigorous testing to meet the standards required by the health ministries of France, Germany and other European countries demonstrate that Flavay® is highly bioavailable, nontoxic, nonallergenic, noncarcinogenic, nonmutagenic, will not cause birth defects, and is completely safe. (3, 4, 90-95)

Dr. Masquelier’s unequaled manufacturing process has been conducted for half a century at the very same facilities in France, and under the control of French Pharmaceutical inspection. These time-proven standards serve as a reliable assurance of the quality, consistency, bioavailability and safety of Flavay®.

Who can take Flavay®?

Everyone, from the very young to elderly. Flavay® has no known contraindications (conditions under which it should not be used). Flavay® is completely safe and nontoxic. In fact, clinical trials have been conducted in which pregnant women (troubled by varicose veins and other circulatory problems in the legs) safely used Flavay®. (2,8,90-95)

Safety of Flavay Plus®

The essential vitamins and minerals in Flavay Plus® are naturally-derived and completely safe. Flavay Plus® includes phosphatidyl serine, derived from soy lecithin, which has been proven safe in standard toxicology tests. From the large number of human studies conducted, phosphatidyl serine has developed a flawless safety record and proven compatible with a wide array of medications. (110)

Flavay® customers say it best:

“I've given many supplements time to work so I know what I'm saying here: Flavay is the only supplement I've ever used that affects my outward appearance significantly. Initially, benefits to my skin were secondary benefits to me because I was taking Flavay for pain and mobility. Now I take Flavay as much for the benefits to my skin as for joint pain. Expensive creams and skin treatments don't do what Flavay does for your skin.”
—Mr. H.S.

“I wanted to let you know that I am already seeing improvements in my skin since using Flavay. I have just placed another order for Flavay but I believe there is a typo on the address...”
—Mr. B. T.

“I just wanted to write and say WOW... I was so skeptical of your product at first and really had a negative attitude when I started taking it. I am a 40yr old female with anxiety, mild ADHD and a host of Arthrtis and inflammation issues. It was a struggle for me to get out of bed everyday and focus on what needed to be done. I had no focus, no attention span, no energy, and no desire to do anything. About a week into taking Flavay, I started noticing that I could think a little clearer. My rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups weren't so bad, though I still have them. Also, I haven't been procrastinating as much and also, my boss has noticed I've been a little more social. I attribute all of this to feeling better, and having more energy. I never thought I would feel like my old self again. I don't know exactly how you do it,...but this stuff works! I am telling all of my friends to try it because you've given me my old life back! Thank you!”
—Ms. L. A.

“I want to thank your company for Flavay Plus®. My aunt and grandmother had Alzheimer's. In my early 50's I was beginning to experience some memory problems, but not anymore, and I'm grateful.”
—Ms. Lynne M.

“My sister has been using Flavay Plus and she tried to get me to order it but I resisted. Now my sister is doing better about remembering and focusing while I'm still suffering, so I've got to get some for myself.”
—Ms. Mary C.
