Bioflavonoids for Immune Support

5,000 years ago Medicine Men used flavonoid compounds to treat a wide variety of ailments. Bioflavonoids, also known as Vitamin P, are a group of naturally occurring plant compounds,  which act primarily as plant pigments and antioxidants. Bioflavonoids have been used in alternative medicine as an aid to enhance the action of vitamin C, to support blood circulation, as an antioxidant, and to treat allergies, viruses, or arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Flavonoids also have a low toxicity compared to other active plant compounds  because they can help us react appropriately to viruses, carcinogens and allergens, by giving a powerful boost to the immune system.

The Benefits of Bioflavonoids:

• relief from allergy symptoms
• lower cholesterol level
•clinically proven in treatment of hemorrhoids and varicose veins
• stronger blood vessels
• improved circulation
•works with vitamin C to alleviate oral herpes
• relief from asthma

Because of its ability to relax the muscles in the cardiovascular system, there is a possibility that Vitamin P may play a role in lowering blood pressure. Current research show  bioflavonoids ability to interfere with growing tumors, and how it impacts other types of bleeding such as nosebleeds, hemorrhoids and bleeding in the retina.

Immune Defense: The benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling. During stress (emotional or physical), the body increases histamine levels. High levels of histamine will decrease immune cell function. Vitamin C can destroy histamine so that the immune system can function at full capacity.

Easy bruising 
Excessive swelling after injury, such as sports injuries 
Frequent nose bleeds 
Hemorrhoids or varicose veins

About the Author

I write about the benefits of vitamins and herbal supplements. I address the signs of deficiencies of the body’s needed nutients and in simple terms educate myself and others on what supplements are necessary to bring one back into a healthy state of living. I realize too that just knowing the facts isn’t always enough. Sometimes we need to address our behaviors and habits that keep us unhealthy. Whether it is getting up to exercise or pulling through depression. Sometimes you just need an understanding voice with easy practical suggestions for healthy living!
