Most flavonoids function in the human body as antioxidants. In this
capacity, they help neutralize overly reactive oxygen-containing
molecules and prevent these overly reactive molecules from damaging
parts of cells. Particularly in oriental medicine, plant flavonoids
have been used for centuries in conjunction with their antioxidant,
protective properties. Scultellaria root, cornus fruit, licorice, and
green tea are examples of flavonoid-containing foods widely used in
oriental medicine. While flavonoids may exert their cell structure
protection through a variety of mechanisms, one of their potent effects
may be through their ability to increase levels of glutathione, a
powerful antioxidant, as suggested by various research studies.
