Scute (Baicalin)

DESCRIPTION Scutellaria, also known simply as Scute, is native to the mountains of southwest China and has been used safely for over 2,000 years to promote a healthy inflammation response and to support cardiovascular health. The yellow bark is rich in baicalin, a highly protective natural ingredient.   FUNCTION The flavonoid compounds of scutelleria (baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin) contain significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Research at numerous prestigious U.S. medical institutions now demonstrates that scutelleria contains some of the most exciting anti-aging and healthy inflammation response molecules known to science.  Interestingly, baicalin is one of the only known naturally-occurring compounds with 12-LOX modulatory activity.  This makes scutelleria a key therapy for promotion of normal cell growth in multiple tissue types within the prostate, brain, pancreas, bladder, breast, liver, colon, and gastric system.   Moreover, scutelleria provides immune suppor
