health & wellness
The bioactive properties of sorghum polyphenols have been reported in many papers and studies over the years — and the potential health benefits have been known in traditional cooking and healing for much longer.
Extracts and foods from red sorghum are packed with a range of rare polyphenols and flavonoids found exclusively in the plant kingdom. These compounds give RedLeaf’s sorghum leaf extracts distinctive bioactivity, including antioxidant and promising anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.
At greater than 20% polyphenol content, our Sorghum Bioflavonoid Complex is packed with significant natural compounds like luteolin, quercetin, and myricetin. It’s also one of the only sources of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, a rare and ancient class of anthocyanidin known to be a natural source of antioxidants and a number of other potential health benefits.
