Bioflavonoids
Bioflavonoids are essential for the absorption of vitamin C, and the two should be taken together. The human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, so they must be supplied in the diet. Bioflavonoids are used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries because they relieve pain, bumps, and bruises. They also reduce pain located in the legs or across the back, and lesson symptoms associated with prolonged bleeding and low serum calcium. Bioflavonoids act synergistically with vitamin C to protect and preserve the structure of the capillaries. In addition, bioflavonoids have an antibacterial effect and promote circulation, stimulate bile production, lower cholesterol levels, and treat and prevent cataracts. When taken with vitamin C, bioflavonoids also reduce symptoms of oral herpes. |
