Lipoflavonoid is an over-the-counter
nutrient formula. It is created primarily to help treat tinnitus or
ringing sounds in the ears that is caused by Meniere's disease.
What Is Lipoflavonoid
Lipoflavonoid has not been yet been
approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the purpose of treating
tinnitus. However, it contains an ingredient eriodictyol glycoside,
which comes from citrus bioflavonoids extracts, that is proven to
improve the inner ear canal's microcirculation. This component is also
said to act as an antihistamine, which can help counter the symptoms and
pathology produced by Meniere's disease.
When the inner ear's circulation is
improved, the microscopic hair cells found in the ear canal, which are
responsible for the transmission of sound to the brain, becomes
flexible. The improvement in the circulation can also allow the fluids
to flow better. These can lead to the improvement of tinnitus.
A Closer Look at the Ingredients
The ingredients found in Lipoflavonoid
have undergone clinical studies and are found to be safe. It contains
vitamins and not prescription drugs, such as Vitamin C, thiamine,
inositol, pantothenic acid, eriodictyol glycoside, niacin, choline,
riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12 (B complex) and bioflavonoids.
The major element which is responsible
for maintaining inner ear health is the eriodicytol glycoside. The other
ingredients are also effective in promoting general health.
Possible Side Effects
Since Lipoflavonoid is a natural
supplement and not a prescription medication, side effects are not
evaluated. This is due to the fact that multivitamins are not expected
to cause any serious side effects. But there have been reported side
effects that are not serious, such as headache, upset stomach and
unpleasant taste in the mouth.
In rare cases, allergic reactions may
occur and may require emergency assistance. Such reactions to watch out
for are difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, tongue, lips or
throat and hives.
Dosage Information

your doctor or as directed in the label. Never use it in larger amounts
or for longer than the recommended duration. It is also important to
take them with a full glass of water.

Before starting your dose, talk to your
physician about it. It is necessary to check out any health problems
that you have especially if you are currently taking any medications.
Avoid taking this supplement with calcium supplements, antacids that
contain calcium and dairy products such as milk. Calcium can make it
difficult for your body to absorb certain ingredients of the
Lipoflavonoid.
