Description

"Bioflavonoids" are polyphenolic substances naturally present in fruits, vegetables, chocolate, and red wine, contributing to plant pigmentation and metabolic interactions. They include diverse subgroups such as flavonols, flavones, and anthocyanins, each engaging with enzymatic activity and oxidative pathways. These molecules play a role in cellular signaling mechanisms and vascular dynamics, influencing physiological equilibrium. Through their structural diversity, bioflavonoids support biochemical networks involved in metabolic adaptation. As key constituents of plant-based nutrition, they remain integral to naturally occurring phytochemical systems.

Deficiency Symptoms

As bioflavonoids are not essential nutrients, there are no deficiency symptoms associated with their absence.

Synergists & Antagonists

Bioflavonoids work synergistically with vitamin C to enhance antioxidant effects. No significant antagonistic interactions are reported.

Bioflavonoids

Warnings

Most bioflavonoids are well-tolerated, but certain types may interact with blood-thinning medications. Consult a healthcare provider if taking anticoagulants.

Food Sources

Rich sources of bioflavonoids include strawberries, grapes, apples, cranberries, blackberries, lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, peaches, plums, broccoli, kale, onions, red peppers, and spinach.

Time Frame

Bioflavonoids are best taken with meals to support absorption and their synergistic effects with other nutrients.

Depleted By

Bioflavonoids may be depleted by the use of immunosuppressants, which can impact their availability and function in the body.
