	Bioflavinoid Health Supplements
		Bioflavinoids or flavinoids are a class of water soluble pigments that include the isoflavones, anthocyanidins, flavans, flavonols, flavones, and flavanones.
		As flavinoids are not an 'essential' nutrient, supplements are not required to prevent deficiencies in people eating a healthy diet.
		The recommended amounts of flavinoids to gain health benefits are 1,000 mg of citrus flavonoids taken one to three times per day.

	GRAPEFRUIT JUICE EFFECTS ON DRUGS
		So far, the following drugs should not be taken with grapefruit juice: calcium channel blockers such as felodipine, nitrendipine, nisoldipine, nifedipine, nimodipine, and verapamil; the anti-aids drug, saquinavir; the immune suppressant, cyclosporin; the tranquilizers, midazolam and triazolam; and the antihistamine, terfenadine.
		The components of grapefruit juice which are the most probable causes are psoralens and flavinoids.
		In the future, grapefruit juice will probably be prescribed with several drugs to lower the dose required and make them less expensive, but at this time, doctors are unable to tell you how much of any drug to take with the juice.

		In the "Sacred Weeds" it was suggested - following ingestion of the flowers and subsequent research - that a euphoric, psychoactive response was garnered from the blue lily (as described above).
		However, in the 2000 programme "Private Lives Of The Pharaohs" (another superb Channel 4 production) it was suggested that the active chemicals in the blue lily, here called the blue lotus, were by and large flavinoids.
		Flavinoids are not psychoactive chemicals, rather they have other effects in the human body, such as improving blood circulation, a factor that suggested the blue lily might have "a Viagra-like effect".

		Grapefruit, like other citrus fruits, are rich in polyphenolic compounds (antioxidants), particularly flavinoids, and it is the antioxidant properties of the phenolics thought to be responsible for inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
		As none of the patients in the study were taking statins during the 30-day study period, the effects on cholesterol levels were attributed solely to the grapefruit juice consumed.
		Thus, further trials are required, in both healthy and atherosclerotic patients, to fully assess the clinical benefits of flavinoids in hypercholesterolemia.

		There are two principal classes of constituents: (1)napthodianthrones (hypericin and pseudohypericin) (2) flavinoids, the highest concentration of which are found in the flowering tops of the plant, followed by the uppermost leaves during the budding and bloom ing periods.
		Hypericin, pseudohypericin, a range of flavinoids, phloroglucinols, essential oils and xanthrones are believed to be responsible for its activity rather than any one single constituent, many other compounds have been identified in the extracts but the primary markers of activity are hypericin and pseudohypericin.
		Hypericin and pseudohypericin have been shown to inhibit a variety of encapsulated viruses such as both the Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 viruses responsible for oral and genital herpes, it is unclear how specific this activity is towards individual viruses and research continues with other viruses including common flu viruses.

	Grapefruit Juice and Cyclosporine Absorption
		Cyclosporine is metabolized by an enzyme called P450 3A4 which is primarily found in the small intestine and the liver.
		The effect of grapefruit juice on cyclosporine blood levels (and on the blood levels of some other medications which are also metabolized by this enzyme) has been theorized to result from an inhibition of intestinal P450 3A4 by a group of molecules called flavinoids which are found in grapefruit juice.
		While it appears to be true that grapefruit juice will increase cyclosporine blood levels, the exact role of flavinoids and the exact mechanism by which grapefruit juice causes these increases is not proven with certainty.
