Rating (out of 5): 2

Luteolin is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Recent scientific research has explored its effects on mitochondrial health, primarily in preclinical models. Studies indicate that luteolin can protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, enhance mitochondrial biogenesis, and improve mitochondrial function. For example, in cell culture and animal models, luteolin has been shown to upregulate antioxidant enzymes, decrease the production of reactive oxygen species, and support the integrity of mitochondrial membranes. Additionally, some studies suggest that luteolin may activate signaling pathways such as AMPK and SIRT1, which are associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and energy regulation.

However, the majority of these findings come from laboratory and animal studies. There is a lack of robust human clinical trials directly assessing the effects of luteolin supplementation on mitochondrial function or health outcomes related to mitochondrial dysfunction. While the mechanistic data is promising and provides a rationale for considering luteolin as a mitochondrial support agent, the evidence is not yet strong or comprehensive enough to warrant a higher rating. Thus, current use is scientifically inspired but not yet backed by high-level human research.
