CellFlo6® – The Science Behind Its Blood Flow and Sports Benefits

Introduction / Why This Matters

Do you ever feel tired during workouts? Or notice your hands and feet get cold easily? Your blood vessels are like highways in your body. When they work well, oxygen and nutrients reach every cell. When they don’t, you feel sluggish, tired, or recover poorly. Blood flow and circulation are critical for athletic performance.

CellFlo6® is a patented green tea extract supplement standardized for unique compounds that support vascular health. Unlike regular green tea, CellFlo6® is refined for specific galloylated procyanidins shown in research to improve circulation, oxygen delivery, and recovery.

This matters because better blood flow can mean more energy, enhanced pumps, faster recovery, and improved overall performance.

Quick Facts

• Main benefit: Supports healthy blood flow, circulation, and vascularity

• Research backing: Based on 30+ years of university cardiovascular research on galloylated compounds

• Best for: Athletes, bodybuilders, people with circulation concerns, or anyone wanting better endurance and energy

• Dosage: 600mg daily (1–2 servings) based on research protocols

• Timeline: Benefits may be noticed within 60–90 minutes, with continued improvement from daily use

The Science / How CellFlo6® Works

CellFlo6® works through endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) – your blood vessels’ natural ability to widen (vasodilate) to allow more blood flow. Think of it like opening a faucet wider to get stronger flow.

The active compounds in CellFlo6® are galloylated procyanidins, which trigger your cells to produce more nitric oxide (NO) – the body’s natural signal to relax and widen blood vessels.

Why CellFlo6® Is Different

• Regular green tea extracts contain some of these compounds, but CellFlo6® is standardized for higher levels of the most effective trimers (3-molecule chains).

• These compounds deliver stronger blood flow benefits than typical catechins like EGCG.

Key Ingredients + Their Roles

• Total Polyphenols – Antioxidants that protect blood vessels from oxidative stress

• Total Catechins – Includes EGCG and ECG, providing general cardiovascular support

• EGCG Dimers – Known for fat metabolism but also contribute to vascular health

• Epicatechin Gallate Trimers (ECG trimers) – The star compounds, standardized at 5–45% in CellFlo6®, delivering the strongest blood flow benefits

• Galloylated Procyanidins (2–5 monomers) – Catechin chains with gallate groups that significantly outperform regular procyanidins for circulation

👉 Recommended dose: 600mg daily (1–2 servings). Research shows this level optimizes nitric oxide production and circulation.

Research Timeline

• 1993 – Dr. David Fitzpatrick begins vascular research at University of South Florida

• 2000 – Landmark publication on endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation

• 2004 – Original VASO6® patent filed

• 2006 – Dimer di-gallate isolation study published

• 2018–2019 – VASO6® patent updates

• 2020 – Human clinical study on recreational lifters published

• 2023 – Current CellFlo6® patent (US 11766422 B2)

Human Clinical Trial (2020)

A double-blind trial tested CellFlo6® supplementation in recreationally resistance-trained men. Participants took varying doses before weight training, and blood flow responses were measured.

Key Results:

• 600mg CellFlo6® increased post-exercise blood flow by over 100% compared to placebo

• Demonstrated a dose-response relationship (higher doses = stronger results)

• Showed benefits for oxygen delivery, recovery, and circulation in trained athletes

Practical Applications

For Athletic Performance

• Improves oxygen delivery to muscles during and after workouts

• Enhances nutrient delivery for faster recovery

• Supports removal of metabolic waste products

• May reduce soreness and improve pumps

How to use:

• Take 300–600mg CellFlo6® 60 minutes before workouts

• Can stack with pre-workout supplements

• Daily use (at least 4 weeks) optimizes benefits

For General Circulation

• Supports cardiovascular health

• Promotes consistent energy via improved nutrient delivery

• Complements healthy lifestyle and diet

Pro Tip: Unlike caffeine, CellFlo6® doesn’t stimulate your nervous system. Instead, it supports natural circulation and blood vessel health, making it sustainable for daily use.

FAQs

Q: How is CellFlo6® different from regular green tea extract?
A: It’s standardized for the most active galloylated procyanidins. Regular extracts don’t contain clinically effective amounts.

Q: Will CellFlo6® give me energy like caffeine?
A: No. Instead, it supports circulation and oxygen delivery, improving recovery and pumps without jitters.

Q: Can I stack it with other supplements?
A: Yes, generally compatible with pre-workouts, aminos, and creatine. Consult your healthcare provider if on medication.

Q: Is 600mg safe long-term?
A: Research and human studies suggest 600mg daily is safe for healthy adults. Derived from green tea, a food used safely for centuries.
