Orange - Bioflavonoids source

Bioflavonoids are polyphenolic plant-derived compounds (also called flavonoids – there are between 4,000 and 6,000), some to be used in medicine, supplements, cosmetical..Bioflavonoids are found in certain fruits, vegetables, or – as known – in dark chocolate and wine. They have potent antioxidant power, as they may protect cells from free radical damage. The antioxidant power of flavonoids is well documented in different studies. In one overview, researchers explain that antioxidants like flavonoids work in a variety of ways. They can:

• interfere with the enzymes that create free radicals, which suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation
• scavenge free radicals, meaning they deactivate these bad molecules before they cause damage
• protect and even increase antioxidant defenses in the body

So far, the research has suggested that flavonoids also show potential for fighting allergic diseases. Then, flavonoids may also help with blood flow, incl. to the brain.
