Description

Bioflavonoids are a group of plant pigments that are responsible for the colors of many flowers and fruits. Citrus bioflavonoids are the bioflavonoids found in citrus fruits. The common citrus bioflavonoids include Apigenin,Diosmin,Diosmetin, Esperidin, Hesperidin, Hesperitin, Naringin, Naringenin, Narirutin, Neohesperidin,Nobiletin,Quercetin,Rutin,Tangeretin,Tangeritin.

The subgroup of flavonoids that possess biological activity ("bio" is a Greek prefix that indicates a relationship to life).

Application

The efficacy of flavonoids and flavonoid-rich extracts in treating varicose veins is related to their ability to: (1) reduce capillary fragility, (2) increase the integrity of the venous wall, (3) inhibit the breakdown of the compounds composing the ground substance, and (4) increase the muscular tone of the vein.

Citrus bioflavonoids and related substances are widely 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 following breast cancer surgery. Citrus bioflavonoids are thought to work by strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

Citrus bioflavonoids are believed to have anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergy properties. They have been shown to help fight infection, free radical damage, viruses and the common cold.

Citrus bioflavonoids are essential for the effective utilization of Vitamin C by the body. Bioflavonoids slow down the normal breakdown of Vitamin C in the body allowing it to be more effective. There is a mutual relationship between Vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids as they work to mutually enhance the action of each other.

Distribution

Natural Citrus bioflavonoids are obtained directly from peel of citrus fruits or unripe little Citrus fruits. Then the main ingredients from different citrus species,such as Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange or Mandarine are total different. The main Citrus bioflavonoid obtained from little orange is Hesperidine which is almost insoluble in water, but from grapefruit the main bioflavonids are naringin and Neohesperidin which are soluble in water.
