A stronger heart with flavonoids
Date:3/19/2008

he FLORA Project

Funded by the European Commission within the 6th framework program, the FLORA Project aims at gaining further evidence on the dynamics triggered by flavonoids, establishing a forefront in Europe for the study of association among these compounds and cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction and tumours. FLORA researchers are involved in the field of flavonoids contained in different vegetables, such as corn, tomatoes and an experimental plant called Arabidopsis. Oranges too are other protagonists of this study. They are rich in flavonoids and phenolics by their own nature. FLORAs oranges have something more: the amount of antioxidant has been enriched in order to optimize their natural beneficial effects. Moreover, these fruits are additive free and have been cultivated in full respect of healthy parameters. There is no risk of unexpected surprises but just a measured increase in terms of nutrition. Promoting health through a balanced and correct diet, in respect for different food tradition of European Countries, is the mission of FLORA.
