Citrus Bioflavonoid Powder
Scientific Name (Source Plants): Citrus sinensis (orange), Citrus limon (lemon), Citrus paradisi (grapefruit)

Bright, concentrated, and antioxidant-rich, citrus bioflavonoid powder is a functional ingredient derived from the peels and inner white pith (albedo) of citrus fruits. It is valued for its naturally occurring flavonoids that support overall wellness and cellular protection in nutritional and herbal formulations.

Product Description:
Citrus bioflavonoid powder is typically produced by extracting and drying flavonoid compounds from citrus fruit peels and membranes. Key compounds may include hesperidin, rutin, quercetin, and eriocitrin, depending on the citrus source. The resulting powder is slightly bitter and pale yellow to light tan in color.

Traditional Uses:
While citrus bioflavonoid powder is a modern nutritional ingredient, citrus peels and fruits have long been used in traditional Chinese, Mediterranean, and European herbal systems. Citrus peel (such as dried orange peel, known as chen pi in TCM) has historically been used in teas and tonics for digestion and vitality.

Benefits:

• Rich source of citrus-derived flavonoids (antioxidants)
• Supports healthy blood vessel and capillary function in nutritional use
• May support immune system balance
• Contributes to collagen and connective tissue support pathways
• Helps neutralize oxidative stress in the body
• Supports overall cellular health and resilience
• Often included in wellness and vitamin formulations

Preparation Suggestions:
Citrus bioflavonoid powder is typically used in small amounts (often 250–1000 mg depending on formulation). It can be mixed into water, smoothies, or capsules. It is commonly combined with vitamin C or other antioxidant blends for enhanced nutritional support.

Cautions:
May cause mild digestive upset in sensitive individuals. Individuals with citrus allergies should avoid use. Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications that may interact with flavonoid compounds.
