Investigation into active plant ingredients in the 1980s resulted in detailed studies of citrus fruits, with particular attention being given to secondary plant ingredients such as bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are relatively large plant molecules occurring in aboveground plant components. They are found particularly in the seeds and peels of fruits and vegetables, parts that we generally remove.
Like vitamins, bioflavonoids are involved in numerous metabolic processes in your body and are useful for their protective properties. Bioflavonoids have an antioxidant action and can neutralize free radicals that damage cells and cause a number of illnesses.
Citrus Bioflavonoids are also known as Diosmetin, Diosmin, Hesperidin, Naringin, Narirutin, Neohesperidin, Nobiletin, Rutin, Tangeretin.
Citrus bioflavonoids are used in Europe to treat diseases of the blood vessels and lymph system, including hemorrhoids, chronic venous insufficiency, leg ulcers, easy bruising, nosebleeds, and lymphedema. These compounds are strengthening the walls of blood vessels.
Citrus fruits contain citrus bioflavonoids in varying proportions. Even different brands of citrus juice may vary widely in their bioflavonoid concentrations and composition. A typical dosage of citrus bioflavonoids is 500 mg twice daily. The most studied citrus bioflavonoid treatment is a special micronized (finely ground) combination of diosmin (90%) and hesperidin (10%).
Some evidence exists that citrus bioflavonoids reduce cholesterol, control inflammation, benefit people with diabetes, reduce allergic reactions, and prevent cancer. |
