| Question: | What' s your view on bioflavonoids? |
| Answer: | These remarkable nutrients are found in plants, especially citrus fruits, berries, broccoli, cherries, red grapes, rosehips, papaya and tomatoes, as well as tea and red wine. Bioflavonoids do a number of vital jobs: act as powerful antioxidants; bind to toxic metals (such as lead) and escort them out of the body; support the body' s use of vitamin C; prevent some bacteria from multiplying; and protect against cancer. In one study, footballers were shown to get fewer injuries and heal better when taking bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are particularly useful for dealing with problems related to fragile blood capillaries such as bleeding gums, varicose veins, haemorrhoids, thrombosis and bruises, as well as strains and sprains. If you are suffering from any of these, take a good bioflavonoid complex to give your capillaries maximum support. |
