In this study, researchers from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany investigated the effect of two flavanoids on the mineralization of primary human osteoblasts after their encapsulation in amorphous calcium polyphosphate (Ca-polyP) microparticles. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that the baicalin/baicalein encapsulated in Ca-polyP microparticles enhances bone mineralization and the two flavones are good components of nutriceuticals for osteoporosis prevention or bone implants.
