Safflowers
Nature's Sunshine
Overview
Safflowers by Nature's Sunshine provides 420mg of Safflowers Flowers per capsule. While research, particularly from China, supports the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits of safflower flavonoids, specific oral dosing guidelines for these effects are not well-established, and the oral bioavailability of key compounds like HSYA is limited. The product's effectiveness relies on the general properties of the whole flower extract rather than specific isolated compounds at clinically validated oral doses.
