The Science Behind MPFF (Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction)

[madman]

MPFF (Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction) is a well-researched combination of bioflavonoids, including Diosmin and Hesperidin. For 40 years, it has been studied for its role in supporting venous and lymphatic function.

Dr. Chuback breaks down how MPFF works and why it holds a 1A recommendation from the American Venous Forum.

New Perspectives on Micronised Purified Flavonoid Fraction in Chronic Venous Disease: From Microvalves to Clinical Effectiveness (2022)
Eliete Bouskela . Marzia Lugli . Andrew Nicolaides


ABSTRACT

The importance of chronic venous disease (CVD), as a cause of reduced quality of life and increased costs to healthcare systems, is expected to rise in parallel with population aging and the increasing prevalence of obesity. Venoactive drugs (VADs) are frequently used to treat the symptoms and signs of CVD. The most commonly used and widely studied VAD, micronized...
