Hesperidin is a flavonoid that is commonly found in citrus fruits, particularly in the peels and membranes of oranges and lemons.
Among its possible health benefits:
· Antioxidant Properties
· Anti-Inflammatory Effects
· Cardioprotective
· Blood Vessel Health
· Immune System Support
· Neuroprotective Effects
· Anti-Cancer Potential
· Antiviral Activity
· Anti-Allergic Effects
· Skin Health
The main area of interest for Hesperidin seems to be for its use in inflammation or conditions where inflammation is playing a key role, especially due to its combination of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
Hesperidin’s anti-inflammatory activity has been observed in a number of models and physiological processes and it shows promise for benefitting cardiovascular health, neurological health, psychiatric mechanisms, lipid-lowering and insulin-sensitizing, among other uses.
Research has indicated that Hesperidin enhances activities of other antioxidants and enzymes, and has been combined with other nutrients in clinical research. For example, combined with calcium it may help preserve bone health in postmenopausal women.
