Six natural compounds in plants -- luteolin, quercetin, chrysin, eriodicytol, hesperetin, and naringenin were tested for their anti-inflammatory properties.
Of the six compounds, luteolin was the most effective inhibitor of TBK1. TBK1 is a signaling enzyme associated with inflammation in the body.
Luteolin is found in celery, thyme, green peppers, and chamomile tea. Foods rich in quercetin include capers, apples, and onions. Chrysin is from the fruit of blue passionflower, a tropical vine. Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and other citrus fruits are good sources of eriodicytol, hesperetin, and naringenin.
