Detailed answer

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
LIPO FLAVONOID is an over the counter dietary supplement and is a concentrated extract of lemon peel and contains VIT C, eriodyctiol, choline, inositol and some B complex vitamins.
Although not approved by US FDA for treatment of tinnitus,clinical experiences of various ENT doctors published in various journals indicates that patients do get benefited from it.
It is said that eriodyctiol helps in histamine production in the inner ear and other products help improve circulation in inner ear. Both these combined effects help in reducing symptoms of tinnitus.
In case one doesn't find any relief in his tinnitus symptoms even after a use of 2 months,then probably he won't be benefited.
It is definitely worth a try.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
