Immunity
Vitamin C contributes to maintain the normal function of the immune system. It also the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increases iron absorption.
Bioflavonoids are antioxidants. You may already be familiar with antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E and carotenoids.
These compounds may protect your cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are toxins in the body that can damage healthy cells.
When this happens, it is called oxidative stress.
Allergy-fighting potential
Allergic diseases may respond well to taking in more bioflavonoids. This includes:
-
Atopic Dermatitis
-
Allergic Rhinitis
-
Allergic Asthma
Development of allergic diseases is often associated with excess oxidative stress on the body.
Flavonoids may help to scavenge free radicals and stabilise the reactive oxygen species. This can lead to fewer allergic reactions.
They may also reduce inflammatory responses that contribute to diseases like asthma.
