Description

Bioflavonoid Formula

Our Bioflavonoids formula (Vitamin P) is 100% plant-based, derived mostly from citrus fruit peels. And when consumed it helps enhance the absorption of Vitamin C. This formula contains herspertin, eriodictyol, quercetin, and rutin. In addition to helping with Vitamin C absorption, bioflavonoids are helpful for athletic injuries, prolonged bleeding conditions, and low serum calcium. Bioflavonoids stimulate the production of bile, and normalize cholesterol levels. Also helps to preserve the structural integrity of capillaries. Works well if taken with a plant based source of Vitamin C

Beneficial Effects

• referred to as “nature’s biological response modifiers” – modify body’s reaction to compounds such as allergens, viruses, and carcinogens
• powerful antioxidants by giving protection versus oxidative and free radical damage
• prevents formation of oxidized cholesterol through antioxidant effects
• greater antioxidant effects than Vitamins C, E, Selenium, and Zinc
• antioxidant effects
• increase intracellular Vitamin C, rutin, hesperidin, and HER
• beneficial effects on capillary permeability and blood flow like PCOs
• anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory effects

Other Uses

Bioflavonoids have been used as an aid to enhance the action of vitamin C, to support blood circulation, as an antioxidant, and to treat allergies, viruses, or arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Other Dietary Sources

Foods with a high flavonoid content include parsley, onions, blueberries and other berries, black tea, green tea and oolong tea, bananas, all citrus fruits, Ginkgo biloba, red wine, sea-buckthorns, buckwheat, and dark chocolate (with a cocoa content of 70% or greater).

Parsley

Parsley, both fresh and dried, contains flavones.

Blueberries

Blueberries are a dietary source of anthocyanidins.

Black tea

Black tea is a rich source of dietary flavan-3-ols.

Citrus

The citrus flavonoids include hesperidin (a glycoside of the flavanone hesperetin), quercitrin, rutin (two glycosides of the flavonol quercetin), and the flavone tangeritin.

Wine

Cocoa

Flavonoids exist naturally in cocoa, but because they can be bitter, they are often removed from chocolate, even dark chocolate. Although flavonoids are present in milk chocolate, milk may interfere with their absorption; however this conclusion has been questioned.^[13]

Peanut

Peanut (red) skin contains significant polyphenol content, including flavonoids

Fun Fact:

Over 5000 naturally occurring flavonoids have been characterized from various plants.

FUNCTION: Bioflavonoids enhance the absorption of Vitamin C. They also help with reducing pain, healing from injuries, preserving the integrity of blood capillaries, and have a natural antibacterial property. Our Bioflavonoid formula contains organic forms of hesperatin, quercetin, rutin and a broad range of every other bioflavonoid.
