Our Members Asked:
What is hesperidin, what is it used for and is it safe?
Answer:
Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid found in oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits. It has shown anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, and blood pressure lowering effects in laboratory studies (Garg, Phytother Res 2001). Based on these and other biological effects, hesperidin has been evaluated for numerous conditions, including heart health, problems with circulation, stroke, cognitive function, depression, cancer and other conditions, but evidence of benefit is limited and often mixed.
