Hesperidin, classified as a citrus bioflavonoid, contains the flavone glycoside (glucoside), and is composed of the flavone (class of flavonoids) hesperitin and the deschloride rutinose. Lemons and peppers have high amounts of hesperidin, with it being most concentrated in the peels and membraneds
Sweet oranges (citrus sinesis) and tangelos are the richest dietary sources of hesperidin; and orange juice rich in pulp contains more flavonids than the strained variety.
Hesperedin’s Positive Health Effects
Hesperidin, and a flavone glycoside diosmin, is used in Europe to treat venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids. Both Hesperidin and rutin, are thought to aid in reducing capillary permeability and may also have anti-inflammatory effects. These are classified as Vitamin P.
Hesperidin, animal research has indicated, may be beneficial treat vascular disorders, cancer, and some autoimmune diseases, and function as an anti-allergen in humans.
More of Hesperidin’s Positive Health Effects
Hesperidin, along with other bioflavanoids, can improve both capillary and connective tissue health, helping with bruising, varicose veins, and fragile capillaries.
Hesperedin may help alleviate hay fever and other similar allergies.
Hesperidin is an important nutrient that works together with Vitamin C to maintain the health of collagen: the breakdown of collagen results in sagging and wrinkling of the skin. Hesperedin is most effective when taken synergistically with Vitamin C; its benefits will otherwise be minimal.
Hesperiding: What to Watch Out For
Hesperidin should not be used by those hypersensitive either to it or to any hesperidin-containing products. Pregnant women and nursing mothers, unless they have their doctors’ approval, should avoid high doses. Hesperidin has been known to cause nausea and other gastrointestinal problems.
Because hesperidin is not considered an essential nutrient, there is no RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) set.
The incidence of hesperidin toxicity, according to various studies, is insignificant, but it may be wise to avoid dosages above 500 mg,
A dosage of between 10 mg and 100 mg seems, in terms of safety and maximizing health benefits, seems best.
How to Select a Hesperidin Supplement
1. Obtain your product from pharmaceutical GMP compliant manufacturers, which comply with the strictest regulatory standards for the manufacture of nutritional supplements. Consumers need to be vigilant regarding this issue, because dietary supplements are unregulated in the U.S., and many products have been shown either to contain contaminants, or be missing the ingredients stated on the label.
2. Make sure to find a product that does not contain any fillers or additives--examples include sugar, starch, gluten, silica (sand!), or any artificial colors or flavors of any kind.
3. Hesperidin, as mentioned above, works synergistically with Vitamin C, in maintaining the health of collagen, and the health enzyme Bromelain, derived from pineapples, which enhances its absorption and maximizes the benefits of hesperidin. All three nutrients, therefore, should, for full efficacy, be taken together. We also believe it is best to take the nutrient with the other prominent bioflavonoids, quercitin and rutin.
