Lipo-Flavonoid Plus is a dietary supplement that has been designed specifically for people with tinnitus and Meniere’s syndrome. It safely provides nutritional support to improve circulation in the inner ear for overall ear health and has been used by doctors since the 1960’s. When the circulation in the inner ear is improved, the microscopic hair cells responsible for transmitting electrical impulses of sound to the brain stay flexible and fluids within the ear canals flow better.

Lipo-Flavonoid Plus contains eriodictyol glycoside, bioflavonoids, vitamin B6 and B12 (B complex), vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, choline, inositol, and panthothenic acid. Eriodicytol glycoside is an extract from citrus bioflavonoid and has been shown to aid in maintaining inner ear health and improving microcirculation in the ear.

Besides promoting general health, Lipo-Flavonoid® helps maintain inner ear health and this makes you less susceptible to tinnitus and/or reduces the intensity of the ear ringing. With good ear health comes better hearing.

Vinpocetine is a derivative of vincamine, an extract of the periwinkle plant, and has been used to provide support during tinnitus symptoms.  Vinpocetine improves blood flow in the inner ear and brain, thereby increasing utilization of glucose and oxygen, and increasing production of brain cell ATP. Research shows that vinpocetine is particularly protective in cases where fatty plaques clog the arteries that feed oxygen to the inner ear and brain.

Ginkgo Biloba is a powerful herbal extract that may increase the circulation of blood to the ears.  Ginkgo has antioxidant activity, improves arterial blood flow and enhances cellular metabolism.  It is known for its age-defying properties which may support healthy hearing function.  Ginkgo biloba leaves have been used by the Chinese for centuries for health purposes.

Magnesium has been found to be protective to hearing function from exposure to noise. Low magnesium levels can cause blood vessels, including the tiny arteries going to the inner ears, to constrict, and when combined with noise exposure, can deplete the delicate hearing cells in the inner ear of its energy stores, leading to exhaustion, damage and death of these critical cells.  Noise-induced vasospasm (constriction of the arteries) is thought to play a role in tinnitus.

Day by day, there’s probably no nutrient as actively involved in keeping your system running smoothly as Vitamin B6.  It functions primarily as a coenzyme, working along with other enzymes to speed up chemical reactions in cells.  A deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause anaemia, dermatitis, and nervous system problems.  One of the causes of tinnitus may be nerve malfunction in the brain.  Because Vitamin B6 positively affects the nervous system, it may improve the health of the nerves leading to the inner ear and thus minimize the discomforts of tinnitus.  Vitamin B6 may be of use in treating chronic dizziness caused by a nerve disorder or decreased blood flow to the brain or inner ear.
