Results of a cell study indicated that velutin displayed even stronger anti-inflammatory effects than known anti-inflammatory flavonoids like luteolin and apigenin, according to findings published in /The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry/.
The study is the first time that the potent anti-inflammatory properties of the compound have been reported, said scientists from the USDA, the University of Arkansas, Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry, and AIBMR Life Science Inc.
Açai berries (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) have long formed part of the staple diet of Indian tribes. With the appearance of a purple grape and taste of a tropical berry, it has been shown to have powerful antioxidant properties thanks to a high level of anthocyanins, pigments that are also present in red wine.
It is presently being sold in a number of countries, including New Zealand, Australia, South America, Japan, USA, and the Middle East
