Bioflavonoids are plant compounds found in citrus fruits, apples, tea, and many other foods with health-promoting properties. Research has shown that they have powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antithrombotic, and antioxidant abilities, capable of inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. When combined with vitamin C, their health-promoting abilities are even greater.
Bioflavonoids, including rutin, work synergistically with vitamin C to improve the integrity of blood vessels, capillaries, and the cardiovascular system as a whole. Specifically, bioflavonoids inhibit the oxidation of vitamin C, thus sparing the crucial nutrient. Evidence of this ability to "recycle" vitamin C and strengthen blood vessels can be seen in animal studies, where the addition of flavonoids to a vitamin C-deficient population resulted in a significant reduction in bleeding.
