Flavonoids are a large class of plant pigments that seem to have a particular structure that the human body enjoys and responds to positively.

I’ve had friends and relatives who have taken flavonoids in various supplement forms and swear by them for their healing powers. A newly discovered flavonoid, fisetin, has longevity researchers testing the compound enthusiastically.

Fisten is naturally occurring in strawberry, mango, and some trees. Nevertheless, it is somewhat rare.

  • ✔ only known polyphenol to encourage certain antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic mechanisms in our bodies
  • ✔ protects sub-cellular systems like mitochondria, proteasomes, and lysosomes
  • ✔ reduces inflamation

Many of the benefits of fisetin consumption mirror the benefits of a “Caloric Restriction regimen.” This process is thought to increase lifespan by lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting glucose levels. The idea is to keep daily caloric intake within a certain window.
