Hesperidin

History:

Hesperidin is classified as a citrus bioflavonoid (and flavonoid glycoside) found abundantly in citrus fruits. Citrus Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that include rutin, hesperidin, naringin, quercitin, and they are used for capillary and venous health. Hesperidin is an important member of a large group of flavonoid compounds that are found in many herbs and plants, including onions (thought to have the largest amount), broccoli, citrus fruits (especially the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits), grapes, teas, blue-green algae, red apples, red wine and many others. Although not a real vitamin in the true sense, bioflavonoids are sometimes referred to as vitamin P, which some think was due to the effect they had on the 'Permeability' of vascular capillaries. Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids; the two terms are interchangeable) are sometimes called nature's biological response modifiers, because they appear to be able to adjust the body's reaction to a variety of factors. Bioflavonoids cannot be manufactured in the body and must be supplied through the diet, and they are necessary for good health and essential for the absorption of vitamin C. There are many different bioflavonoids, including quercetin, rutin, hesperidin, citrin, etc., and Hesperidin may be found in highly nutritious foods, such as oranges, grapefruits, tangerines and other citrus fruits. The beneficial effects of fruits and vegetables are now often attributed to flavonoid compounds rather than to known nutrients and vitamins. You can also take Hesperidin in dietary supplement form as a simple and easy way to provide this natural source of health.
