Flavonoids (or bioflavonoids) are plant compounds found in almost all the vegetables, herbs and fruits offering health-promoting effects.<\/p>

Flavonoids are part of the water soluble\u00a0 polyphenol class of phytonutrients.\u00a0<\/p>

Flavonoids along with carotenes are a group of phytonutrients responsible for the vivid colours in our fruits, herbs, vegetables grains, bark, roots, stems, flowers, tea and wine.<\/p>

Flavonoid are one of the biggest class of antioxidant and the effects are associated with various diseases like cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disease prevention. Preventing injury caused by free radicals.<\/p>

Categorised in different classes, alkaloids, terpenoids and phenolics.<\/p>

Foods contain substances such as flavonoids influence how GABA<\/a> works in the brain. Flavones and catechins seem to be the most powerful flavonoids.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Flavonoids are the largest group of phytonutrients, with more than 6,000 different types.\u00a0<\/p>

Some of the most powerful protective flavonoids.<\/p>

Flavones:<\/strong> Luteolin, Diosmetin, Tricin, Chrysin<\/a> and Apigenin – Celery, broccoli, green pepper.
Various herbs parsley, thyme, peppermint, rosemary, oregano
Chocolate<\/p>

Anthocyanidins<\/strong><\/a>: Malvidin, Pelargondin, Peoidin, Cyanidin , delphinidin, and peonidin – Bright red-orange to blue-violet. Red, purple and blue berries; pomegranates; plums, \u00a0cranberries, cherries, black currants,\u00a0 raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, bilberries, blackberries, sweet potatoes and red, purple grapes and merlot grapes (red wine).<\/p>

Flavonones: <\/strong>Hesperetin, Eriodictyol, Abyssinones, and Naringenin – Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, rosehips and grapes. \u00a0Responsible for the bitter taste of juice and peel.\u00a0<\/p>

Isoflavones:\u00a0 <\/strong>Genistein, Glycitein, Biochanin,\u00a0 and Daidzein – Soybeans, soy products, alfalfa sprouts, peanuts, chickpeas, and leguminous plants.<\/p>

Flavonols \/ Catechins: <\/strong>Quercetin, Rutin, Myricetin, Isorhamnetin,\u00a0 Fisetin, Theaflavin, and kaempferol – Found abundantly in bananas, apples, blueberries, peaches, pears, strawberries, apples, persimmons, onions, cucumbers, leeks, Brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli, tea, berries, beans and spices.\u00a0<\/p>

Quercetin is an antihistamine so can help to relieve hay fever.<\/p>

Three primary flavanols types Monomers ( known as catechins), Dimers and Polymers – Teas, Black tea, oolong tea. cocoa, grapes, apples, berries, fava beans and red wine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Catechins might be useful in aiding chronic fatigue<\/a>,\u00a0 cardiovascular disease and neurological health.<\/p>

Epigallocatechin Gallate a\u00a0type of catechin – Also known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – Found in Green Tea<\/a> and black tea contains about 25% percent flavonoids.<\/p>

Flavanonols<\/strong>: Xeractinol, Taxifolin – Vinegar<\/p>

Chalcones<\/strong>: Phloridzin, arbutin, phloretin and chalconaringenin – tomatoes, pears, strawberries, bearberries and certain wheat items.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
