Citrus bioflavonoids, also known as citrus bioflavonoids, are a group of important antioxidants that occur naturally in fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits. They are very powerful antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals and help maintain optimal health. Among the best known are quercetin, hesperidin, rutin and naringin.
These substances are often used in preparations and dietary supplements designed to promote health and prevent various diseases. They are also used in cosmetics, especially skin care products, because of their ability to protect the skin from damage caused by oxidative stress. In addition, citrus bioflavonoids are also used in some food applications, for example as natural colouring agents or preservatives, as they have the ability to inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi.
