Citrus bioflavonoids

Citrus bioflavonoids include plant compounds such as hesperidin and naringin, commonly found in citrus peel and pulp. Gut microbes help convert these compounds into absorbable metabolites.

• Scientific identity: Citrus Bioflavonoids; compound class: Flavanone and flavonol glycosides.
• How it works: Extracted from citrus peel and pulp: The fraction includes hesperidin, naringin, rutin, quercetin and related flavonoids in varying proportions. Poorly absorbed as glycosides: Most arrive bound to sugars, which limits direct uptake in the small intestine.
• Primary function: They complement vitamin C and contribute plant-derived diversity to antioxidant-focused formulations.
• What it supports: Citrus Bioflavonoids complement vitamin C with naturally occurring plant compounds that support a more rounded antioxidant-focused routine.
• Important consideration: Botanical quality depends on source identity, standardisation and appropriate quality testing.

CARPEDIEM selected Citrus Bioflavonoids for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: They complement vitamin C and contribute plant-derived diversity to antioxidant-focused formulations.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM Hair Skin Nails, CARPEDIEM MultiTeen and CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and other appropriate CARPEDIEM formulations.
• Works alongside: Citrus Bioflavonoids complements Vitamin C, Grape Seed Extract and Astaxanthin to support a balanced plant-and-nutrient formulation.
• Meaningful contribution: Citrus Bioflavonoids complement vitamin C with naturally occurring plant compounds that support a more rounded antioxidant-focused routine. Contributes botanical diversity through compounds such as hesperidin and naringin.
• Quality and scientific context: Botanical quality depends on source identity, standardisation and appropriate quality testing. Research is shown only when an ingredient-specific study demonstrates a relevant benefit.
