Bioflavonoids Facts
Bioflavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments, and there have been over 4000 bioflavonoids identified. They work as an antiflammatory, antihistamine, and antiviral. Bioflavonoids can be found in a wide range of foods like citrus fruits, buckwheat, green tea, bilberry, grape seeds, onlions, teas, apples, red wine, legumes, grains, and nuts.

How Bioflavonoids Work
Bioflavonoids fight disease by reducing inflammation, preventing release of histamines, improving immunity, fighting free radicals through their antioxidant properties, and increasing blood flow. They inhibit changes that lead to blocked arteries and strengthen the blood vessels. Bioflavonoids improve the absorption of Vitamin C. Some bioflavonoids include genistein, hesperidin, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), rutin, catechins, quercetin, anthocyanidins, and naringenin.
