Vitamin C Citrus Bioflavonoids (90 tabs) (ko)

Bioflavonoids are nutritional compounds found together in nature that help protect the body from free radical damage and are reported to have numerous health benefits. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are formed when the body burns oxygen.

Bioflavonoidsare also referred to as vitamin P and are the natural pigments in fruits and vegetables. Research reports over 800 different bioflavonoids. Most of these are the yellow pigments found in citrus fruit as well as other fruits and vegetables.

Some researchers believe that bioflavonoids help maintain capillaries. Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that allow the oxygen, hormones, nutrients, and antibodies to pass from the body's bloodstream to individual cells.

If capillary walls are too fragile they allow blood to drain into the cells. The result of this is easy bruising, brain and retinal hemorrhages, bleeding gums and other abnormalities. Bioflavonoids also in recent studies have been shown to help the blood clot, this alone can be helpful for clotting disorders.

Researchers have discovered that some of the functions that vitamin C is credited with is actually from the bioflavonoids. Since they work so close together numerous reports have stated that vitamin C and many bioflavonoids need each other to produce the effects that they have on the immune system.

Foods that are high in bioflavonoids include apricots, blackberries, black currants, broccoli, cantaloupes, cherries, grapefruits, grapes, oranges and lemons.
