Herperidin
May Help Regulate
Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
Hesperidin is a flavonoid,
which have been called "nature's biological response modifiers"
because they are able to modify the body's reaction to carcinogens,
allergens, and viruses. The identification of hesperidin as a flavonoid
is extremely promising, as experimental evidence shows flavonoids
as potentially important in the prevention of many cancers, as well
as cardiovascular disease. In previous research, herperidin acts
as an antioxidant and has been shown to contribute to the integrity
of the blood vessels.
Aside from the exciting effects it has on blood vessels, preliminary
studies have found many other benefits, including:
- blood pressure reduction and regulation
- cholesterol reduction
- decrease in the loss of bone density
- anti-inflammatory properties
- protection against sepsis, which is a disease
characterized by full body inflammation
Primarily found in citrus fruits, hesperidin
has been used to treat hemorrhoids, endometriosis, fibroid tumors
in the uterus, and even severe premenstrual syndrome. It also improves
blood flow in the body.
Before taking hesperidin, it's important to discuss possible side
effects with your doctor, especially if you are taking other medications.
But the scientific findings on hesperidin are very encouraging to
both the medical and nutritional communities. If you suffer from
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic inflammation, bone
density loss, or you are simply looking to improve your health and
strengthen blood vessels and blood circulation, discuss adding hesperidin
to your nutritional supplement regimen with your doctor. Since hesperidin
is abundant in oranges and lemons, adding them to your diet may
be a great place to start.
