Better with Bioflavonoids

Better with BioflavonoidsPosted by Marisa Belger on April 17, 2006 - 8:36am.

"Bioflavonoids" is one of those terms that looks technical and perhaps even slightly unpleasant on the page, but in actuality does a lot of good. Bioflavonoids are the substances that give plants bright colors and that have also been found to improve health and vitality in a number of ways.

There are hundreds of bioflavonoids - citrus bioflavonoids, soy isoflavones, proanthocyanidins found in red wine and grapeseed, flavanols present in cocoa, tea, and grapeseed, and quercitin found in onions, tea, and berries - but they all have similar health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory, slow aging, decrease the risk of cancer, and can encourage healthy circulation.
