Boost Your Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are naturally occurring plant compounds with very powerful antioxidant properties. They are essential for the absorption of vitamin C, and the two should be taken together – which is why Parillo Bio-C™ is formulated with both. There are many different types of bioflavonoids; among the most common are citrus bioflavonoids (from citrus fruits), rutin (derived from buckwheat), hesperidin (also from citrus fruits), and quercetin (found in apples and onions). These are the bioflavonoids found in Parrillo Bio-C™.

Bioflavonoids are advantageous to exercisers and athletes – and really to everyone. They help in the treatment of athletic injuries, relieving pain and bruising. They work in concert with vitamin C to protect the structure and integrity of blood vessels. Additionally, they fight bacteria, promote circulation, and reduced dangerous cholesterol levels for improved cardiovascular health. As antioxidants, bioflavonoids neutralize health-damaging free radicals, molecules capable of damaging cells and increasing disease risk. 

Citrus flavonoids, in particular, have many diverse benefits, according to cell and animal studies. They may help reduce oral cancer risk and block secretion of the hepatitis C virus from infected cells, which may help control the chronic infection.

Quercetin is known to be helpful in relieving allergies and asthma and lowering blood pressure. Some research has found that quercetin may be helpful in treating chronic prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). 

Rutin and hesperidin are important in: cold-and-flu prevention; promotion of healthy capillary walls and connective tissue; and the reduction of excessive bruising. They also protect against the negative effects of stress; high fever; tobacco; antibiotics, aspirin, and cortisone. They enhance the body’s utilization of calcium, magnesium, and all vitamins and minerals. Rutin, in particular, has been shown to be beneficial for varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency and capillary fragility – all of which have a negative impact on the circulatory system. Rutin is a cholesterol fighter, particularly the type found in buckwheat and the form used in Parrillo Bio-C^™. Rutin has potent antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory properties.   

Clearly, bioflavonoids are important to health and should be part of a protective supplement program. So consider supplementing with Parrillo Bio-C^™. For best results, take one or more tablet daily, preferably with meals.
