When vitamin C is found in nature, it is usually accompanied by bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are natural food substances in fruits, vegetables, bark, pollen and many other plant sources. Exploring the synergy between vitamin C and the bioflavonoids, biochemists found their role in nourishing the membranes of the capillaries and cells, which are important for the balance of fluids and optimum circulation. The most well-known bioflavonoids include catechin, citrin, flavonals, flavones, hesperidin, quercitin, and rutin. Bioflavonoids also improve the body's absorption of vitamin C, and therefore play a role in the formation and maintenance of collagen.
a large class of ubiquitous, naturally occurring polyphenols and benzopyrone related compounds that scavenge oxyradicals.
a group of low molecular weight plant substances with recognized antioxidant (free radical scavenging) properties and with the ability to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes which cause inflammation in the body. There are over 20,000 bioflavonoids. Some are more active than others; some are more valuable than others. A few which have shown biological value in the laboratory have not performed well when manufactured in commercial quantities and when tested in living animals.
Chemicals found in fruits such as lemons, plums, grapefruit, cherries, blackberries and blackcurrant, as well as buckwheat. Bioflavonoids usually have strong antioxidant properties and are thought to help prevent certain forma of cancer. In the body they work with Vitamin C to strengthen the capillaries or small blood vessels.
are plant compounds found in citrus fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, and other typically vitamin C-rich foods. Bioflavonoids play an important role in healing capillaries and helping the body form collagen, which holds body tissue together. The bioflavonoids are also known collectively as vitamin P, or flavonoids. Some of the most common ones include hesperidin, quercetin, and rutin. They are found in high concentrations in certain herbs like gingko, hawthorn, and bilberry. Bioflavonoids exhibit a broad range of antioxidant activity and are taken to treat nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and a tendency to bruise. They are sometimes prescribed for allergies, viruses, and inflammations. Often combined in supplements with vitamin C, they're typically found in tablet and capsule form.
Natural substances found in plants - usually in the leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, and roots.
Vitamin like substance with antioxidant qualities, acts as shuttle for minerals for easier absorption.
usually from orange and lemon rinds, these citrus-flavored compounds needed to maintain healthy bloodvessel walls are widely available in plants, citrus fruits, and rose hips; known as vitamin P complex.

also known as flavonoids, which are protective antioxidants found in fruit.
Bioflavonoids are any of a group of biologically active flavone compounds that may help maintain the capillary walls, reducing the likelihood of hemorrhaging. They are widely found in plants, especially citrus fruits. They are commonly added to Vitamin C for optimum absorption. They are used in our Vitamin C blend.
The group of antioxidant compounds found in nutritious plants that is vital to the metabolism of vitamin C and to the health of capillary walls in the circulatory system. Bioflavinoids have antiflammatory and antiviral qualities, and may be effective against heart disease and some forms of cancer.
Are a class of water-soluble plant pigments. Some bioflavonoids do support health as anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic, and antiviral agents.
A family of antioxidant compounds found as pigments in numerous fruits and vegetables.
A group of brightly colored, water-soluble conpounds found in certain plants. These companions of natural vitamin C are known antioxidants and are believed to contribute to capillary integrity. Better known bioflavonoids include hesperidin and rutin.
Compounds found in citrus fruits that aid in the absorption process. Commonly referred to as Vitamin P.
Sometimes referred to as vitamin P, these help to enhance the absorption of Vitamin C. The human body does not produce these so they must be supplied by the diet. They help to promote circulation, stimulate bile production, and act with Vitamin C to preserve and protect the structure of capillary blood vessels.
Brightly colored, chemical compounds found in the pulp and rind of citrus fruits, green peppers, apricots, cherries, grapes, papaya, tomatoes, broccoli, and other plant foods. Bioflavonoids may act as antioxidants.
This vitamin is used for a mild stimulant, capillary maintenance.
substances which are sometimes referred to as vitamin P. Have an important relationship with vitamin C. Important nutrients for their strengthening influence on secondary blood vessels, and are found in many herbs.
Sometimes known as vitamin P, they are a number of compounds found in citrus fruits and elsewhere that aids the absorption process. (See Absorption).
A group of over 20,000 colourful plant chemical compounds involved along with chlorophyll in photosynthesis. Bioflavonoids protect plants from radiation damage. There are many sub categories of bioflavonoids, such as anthocyanins, catechins, ellagic acid etc.
Naturally found throughout the plant kingdom. Clinical studies have demonstrated that bioflavonoids reduce edema which is partly ascribed to a protective effect on the capillary endothelium and partly to an improved velocity and volume of blood flow. Hence one can say, bioflavonoids help reduce inflammatory edema while stimulating circulation.
Bioflavinoids, like Quercetin and grape seed extract, are a category of antioxidants. If you take them as a capsule, it's a good idea to also take Vitamin C, which aids in their absorption.
