These are the most abundant antioxidants in the diet, pro-circulatory and support microvascular system, so support heart function, healing and circulation. They work in conjunction with vitamin C in the body as antioxidants and a variety of these food provides the most beneficial mix of the different types of bioflavonoids, fibre and other nutrients. Processing of foods or removing of the pith of fruit, reduces the bioflavonoid content.
