Flavonols are compounds commonly found in plants and fruits such as grapes, broccoli, and teas, which have been proven to provide strong antioxidant and health related benefits. In populations where flavonol intake is substantial, the occurrence of stroke and cardiovascular disease is significantly lower. Published in the Journal of Nutrition (January 2010), an analysis compared the results of 6 studies involving 111,067 persons who were followed for 6-28 years. The research showed a strong relationship between high flavonol intake and low nonfatal and fatal strokes. These results help to support the need for flavonol intake and supplementation to prevent and reduce the risk of cardiovascular related incidences.
