Bioflavonoids maintain healthy blood vessels, help form collagen in connective tissue, heal wounds, avert capillary bleeding and support a healthy immune system. Bioflavonoids have many other health benefits as a result of their anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-allergenic effects.
Research that is out now suggests that bioflavonoids have been shown to help the blood clot, this alone can be helpful in treating phlebitis and other clotting disorders. Capillaries health or integrity seem to improve, researchers say, with the intake of bioflavonoids.
The researchers are saying bioflavonoids are good for us and our horses. In my mind there can be little doubt when you look at the foods that are high in bioflavonoids including apricots, blackberries, black currants, broccoli, cantaloupes, cherries, grapefruits, grapes, oranges and lemons.
