Answer:
Luteolin is a plant flavonoid similar to quercetin and, like quercetin, is promoted for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects, as well as its antioxidant activity (Munafo, Sci Rep 2022; Lin, Curr Cancer Drug Targets 2008). However, despite interesting laboratory and population-based findings, evidence of clinical benefits from taking luteolin is generally lacking.
Sign in as a member to learn about research evaluating luteolin for conditions such as cancer, heart health, skin aging, age-related cognitive decline, exercise performance, post-COVID olfactory impairment, Gulf War Illness, and boosting testosterone production. Also, learn if luteolin supplements are safe and if some may be better absorbed than others.

September 30, 2023What brands do you suggest?
We have not included any recommended brands, as there does not appear to be any conclusive evidence to support a particular dose or formulation of luteolin for any condition.

Although these results are interesting, it's too early to know if the results from the cell-based study can be replicated in humans.
