Description
Bioflavonoids are a group of biologically active flavonoids. This essential substance is technically not a vitamin, rather a vitamin-like nutrient. There are several known bioflavonoids including quercetin, rutin, hesperidin, flavones, and flavonals. Bioflavonoids are not manufactured by the body and must be obtained from the diet.
Bioflavonoids enhance the function and aid in the absorption of vitamin C. They work synergistically with vitamin C to strengthen and preserve capillary structure and help keep connective tissue strong and healthy. Bioflavonoids are also used to treat pain, bruises, and injuries. They promote circulation and aid in bile stimulation.
