Luteolin is turning out to be a potentially therapeutic compound for both mental health and other health issues. There is a wide range of beneficial effects of luteolin-enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces brain inflammation(microglial inflammation), reduces overall inflammation, anti-microbial, modulates the immune system and related inflammatory markers in a way beneficial to autoimmune disorders, anti-histamine, enhances GABA levels, and enhances dopamine. I am posting this here because I consider this to be a medical treatment that several here may be interested in. Lutimax appears to be the most potent of a few supplements containing luteolin on the market. I am doing a trial of Lutimax at the moment, splitting the dissolvable lozenges in half and dosing it 2 to 3 times a day. So far, I have actually noticed that I may be a bit more mellow and subdued at times than I would like. Maybe due to the effects on GABA and histamine??? I am hoping to restore any possible issues I've been having with microglial function and maybe target some possible inflammatory issues caused by a suspected autoimmune issue. I have also suspected the possibility of Lyme, The anti-microbial effects could be of some benefit if i do indeed have a chronic infection like Lyme.
Here is a study on Luteolin's effect on GABA receptors:
