Bioflavonoids or Flavanoids - Excellent Protection Against Free Radicals!-

Bioflavonoids are specific plant substances that give them their colors. Several are more potent anti-oxidants than Vitamins C and E.

They...

  • provide protection against heart disease and cancer
  • Help your body fight off viruses and bacteria
  • keep your blood from getting sticky
  • Neutralize free radicals
  • Put out inflammation
  • Tone down inflammatory responses such as allergies
  • Protect blood vessels and strengthen them
  • Help to lower blood pressure
  • Help prevent cataracts
  • Inhibit tumor growth
  • Reduce menopausal symptoms

    The easiest way to get these substances is by eating many fruits and vegetables. But to ensure optimal amounts, supplement your diet.

    Supplement Information

    Quercitin with Vitamin C - Potent Antioxidant Supplements may offer a single bioflavonoid, such as Quercetin, alone, and they may offer several in combination.

    Dr. Janson, author of several books on supplements, recommends taking 1000 milligrams of a combination product once or twice a day.

    Since they are powerful antioxidants themselves, they do increase vitamin C's absorption, and Vitamin C increases their absorption, so they make a good combination.

    They are generally considered safe.

    I have included these under the class of antioxidants that I've not had personal experience with, but I have taken one, Quercetin with Vitamin C, for several years to avoid a recurrence of cancer.

    They are readily available from Life Extension Products or from Vitamin World as Quercetin Capsules.

    If you can't get the maximum serving of fruits and vegetables on a regular basis, or you don't like some of them, you would probably improve, and definitely preserve your health, by regularly taking a bioflavonoid supplement.
