The Science Behind Lipo Flavonoid Advanced Hearing Support Formula

Learn more about the science that went into this unique supplement.

What it is

A once daily supplement with an innovative formula full of ingredients clinically proven to help reduce the risk of future hearing decline and preserve healthy hearing.

When you can’t hear, you can’t connect. Losing your hearing distances you from those around you and can lead to depression, social isolation, fear, and overall dysfunction - all contributing to poor health and outcomes.

Many things can cause hearing loss, so for a supplement to be impactful on hearing loss it needs to support several different areas of the ear that could need help.

It’s estimated that as many as 40% of older adults are deficient in vitamin B12, a nutrient important for neurological support of the inner ear.

Published literature shows a significant association between B12 deficiency and cochlear dysfunction. Supplementation can help.

Ingredients

High absorption formula for optimal nutrient delivery of the most essential ear health ingredients

  • Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
  • Vitamin B1 (as thiamine mononitrate)
  • Vitamin B2 (as riboflavin)
  • Vitamin B3 (as niacinamide)
  • Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCI)
  • Folate (as L-5 methyl tetrahydrofolate calcium)
  • Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
  • Pantothenic Acid (as d-calcium pantothenate)
  • Magnesium (as magnesium oxide)
  • Ginkgo Biloba (leaf)
  • Lemon Bioflavonoid Complex

How it Works

L Methyl Folate

L Methyl Folate is important for our ears because it helps prevent premature hearing loss by improving cochlear homocysteine metabolism and reducing oxidative stress by increasing nutrient delivery and absorption in the cochlea. A lack of Folate in the body is often caused by the liver being unable to properly process it from the food we eat. But this ingredient does not need to be converted in your liver, bypassing it and going directly to the bloodstream instead; ensuring you’re not missing essential nutrients.

B Complex (Vitamins B1, B6 & B12 especially)

B vitamins, specifically B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin), are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system and supporting inner ear neurons. These neurotropic B vitamins act as coenzymes and protect nerves from damage, contributing to the transmission of auditory signals to the brain. Deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to neurological diseases or malfunctions, but even without a proven deficiency, they can improve certain neurological conditions. Therefore, B vitamins are crucial for providing neurological support and protecting the nerves, especially the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) responsible for transferring auditory signals to the brainstem.

Bioflavonoids

The eriodictyol glycoside found in bioflavonoids can improve microcirculation and prevent fatty deposits in the inner ear, while also potentially blocking histamine production. These bioflavonoids have been clinically proven over 60 years to relieve vertigo and tinnitus symptoms. Additionally, hesperetin, a derivative of eriodictyol, can prevent neurodegenerative diseases by reversing the factors that cause them, such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Its ability to inhibit apoptotic cell death makes hesperetin a promising ingredient to supplement your diet for preventing and treating neurodegenerative conditions.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba is the workhorse of this formula because it helps potentially inflamed areas of the head and ear improve blood flow, helping inner ear functionality and ensuring the other ingredients are able to reach the areas they need to be effective. It is believed to improve blood flow throughout the inner ear by dilating blood vessels and reducing blood viscosity, which can enhance circulation to the small capillaries and hair cells in the ear. It also has antioxidant properties that can protect against oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the inner ear, which may contribute to hearing loss and other inner ear disorders. Additionally, Ginkgo Biloba may improve neurotransmitter function in the brain and enhance cognitive function, which can help with processing sound and improving overall hearing ability.
