100 Tablets

Plants contain tens of thousands of phytochemicals – nutrient compounds that have biological activity and play important roles in the body. The largest group of phytochemicals is the polyphenols, with more than 8000 known compounds. Within the polyphenols, one of the largest classes is the flavonoids (also known as “Vitamin P”), with over 5000 molecules. Flavonoids are one of the main sources of color and flavor in fruits and vegetables. Citrus bioflavonoids are found mainly in the edible pulp of citrus fruits, commonly in association with vitamin C.
