Industrially-produced food no longer contains the active ingredients in Flavay. There are a number of reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Industrially-Produced Food is Deficient in Flavay®

Why can't we rely on our diet?

Why can't the active ingredients in Flavay® be obtained in food?

Industrially-produced food no longer contains the active ingredients in Flavay®. There are several causes for the deficiency.

Fruits and vegetables lack the active ingredients in Flavay® when picked before full maturity.

A German study found that even fresh vegetables and fruits contain very low levels of the Flavay® nutrients unless fruits and vegetables are picked at full maturity. (293)

The "French Paradox"

The active ingredients in Flavay® are at the center of the curious phenomenon known as the "French Paradox." So, why not just drink red wine to get your daily dose of Flavay®? Daily alcoholic drinking is not ideal due to potential abuse, dependency and toxicity from over-consumption.

Whereas alcohol can compromise liver function, Flavay® actually helps protect hepatic capillaries (the smallest blood vessels in the liver) from free radical damage and activates liver antioxidant enzyme systems. (45,309-311)

The point is that Flavay® provides specific protection to the liver, and red wine does not. So, while drinking some red wine is a reasonably healthy for most adults, the best way to guarantee a consistent daily intake of the "French Paradox" is to take Flavay®.

Flavay® is alcohol-free.

A glass of red wine (but not white wine) averages about 8-to-30mg of the active ingredients in Flavay®. (7)

The "Devil in Dark Chocolate"

fat, sugar and calories

The active ingredients in Flavay® are found in raw cocoa and bitter-tasting dark chocolate—but there is a catch.

"Dark chocolate can be deceptive. When chocolate manufacturers make the confectionery, the natural cocoa solids can be darkened and the flavanols, which are bitter, are removed, so even a dark-looking chocolate can have no flavanol.

"... And, although flavanols, if they are present, seem to offer some health benefit, the devil in the dark chocolate is the fat, sugar, and calories it also contains. To gain any health benefit, those who eat a moderate amount of flavanol-rich dark chocolate will have to balance the calories by reducing their intake of other foods—a tricky job for even the most ardent calorie counter."
The Lancet. 2007;370(9605):2070.

Flavay® is fat-free,
sugar-free and calorie-free.

Manufacturers remove the bitter-tasting flavanols, so chocolate contains none of the active ingredients in Flavay®.

Woody Parts are Discarded or Inedible

Most foods are peeled and pitted. The active ingredients in Flavay® are found mostly in seeds, barks, shells, peels and the woody parts which are removed before eating.

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are Prematurely Harvested

The fresh fruits and vegetables at the supermarkets are deficient in the nutrients of Flavay® because mass food production doesn't allow for fruits and vegetables to fully ripen on the tree or vine. Modern food distribution requires premature harvesting to allow for time in transportation, packaging, distribution and purchase by the final consumer.

Unripened fruits and vegetables are very low in the Flavay® nutrients. A German study proved that as fruit matures on the tree or vine the quantity of the flavan-3-ol molecules in fruit increases. The study found fresh fruits and vegetables must fully mature on the tree or vine before plants begin to produce and therefore include the molecules in Flavay®. (293)

Unfortunately, modern food distribution requires premature harvesting so our food is deficient in vital nutrients.

Industrially-Produced Food is Deficient in Vital Nutrients of Flavay®

Industrially-produced food, in most cases, no longer contains the parts of plants rich in the active ingredients in Flavay®. Canned foods are peeled and pitted and that's where most of the Flavay® nutrients are found. Furthermore, nutrition in fruits and vegetables is stripped by industrial processing. Even fresh fruits and vegetables are missing vital flavanol-3-ols because they are picked before full maturation.

In most cases, industrially-produced food contains absolutely none of the active principles in Flavay®

Modern Living Increases Oxidative Stress

Last, but not least, oxidative stress in modern living increases the oxidative burden to our bodies. Common sources of oxidation include chemical pollution, smoke, smog, pesticides, herbicides and synthetic preservatives and additives in our food, and medications.

High-efficiency "blue" light causes oxidative stress in eyes: A recent Harvard Health Letter warns that chronic exposure to oxidative high-energy visible (HEV) or "blue" light may lead to macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal degenerative diseases which can eventually cause serious vision loss. (322)

Pervasive noise causes oxidative damage in the ears and brain: Pervasive noise is common in most modern communities and work environments. Its damaging effects, particularly the production of free radicals, are not limited to the auditory organ. Researchers found broadband white noise (100 dB) exposure significantly increased oxidation in brain regions. (197,198)

Protect your vision and cognition by supplementing with Flavay® daily.

Flavay® is your best protection against oxidative damage to your eyes caused by high-energy visible light.

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 40 yr old female with anxiety, mild ADHD and a host of arthritis 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 and Flavay Plus, I started noticing that I could think a little clearer. My rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups weren't so bad, though I still have them. 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 am not one to review products, but i can't deny some of the benefits i've experienced using both your biomor curcumin and flavay products. I've been taking both for a few months now, and the two major benefits i've noticed are 1) joint strength and mobility (for workouts) as i am lifting much heavier weights without injury 2) I am a paroxsymal Afib sufferer, and my episodes have gone from 2-3 per week down to zero (most weeks). This can't just be a coincidence. I think there is definitely something in your formulas that stop inflammation and get your body in balance and healing itself. —Mr. B.V.W.*

I damaged both knees in a motor cycle accident, (mostly pain and swelling ). I don't even think about my knees anymore , its been that long since they have caused me any pain. I have been taking Flavay for 3 Years, I had my right wrist diogonsed with carpal tunnel syndrome, ( hand and arm going to sleep) after having surgery on the left arm years ago, did not have the time for surgery( 3 week recovery) but since Flavay no more pain , the pin and needles are gone so I don't wake up in the middle of the night with my arms and hands bothering me. The amazing thing about this product it can take care of problems you just forgot you had, (or just learned to live with) . Now forget about them because the pain is gone. —Mr. B. Hall*

I really notice a difference when taking Flavay Plus, both in inflammation and in my stress levels. —Ms. W.L.*
