Vitamin P (bioflavonoids, including citrus)


Vitamin P (bioflavonoids, including citrus)
Vitamin P - bioflavonoids are plant, a group of biologically active compounds (rutin, catechin, quercetin, citrine, hesperidin, eriodiktiol, cyanidin). Only about 150 known bioflavonoid, with similar biological effect. In 1936, A. Szent-Gyorgyi isolated from the peel of the lemon, the active principle, reduces brittleness, capillary permeability in patients with hemorrhagic diathesis and scorbutic guinea pigs. It is called vitamin P (from "permeability" - permeability).

Sources of Vitamin P
Vitamin P is usually in the same plant foods, which meets and ascorbic acid . Especially a lot of vitamin P found in citrus fruits, black currants, rose hips, sorrel, green tea, salad.Slightly less than its presence in the tomatoes, grapes, cabbage, parsley, plums, apples and berries. Also contained in buckwheat, white envelope under the peel of citrus fruits. This vitamin is not produced by the body and therefore must be included in the daily diet.

The daily requirement of Vitamin P
Daily adult requirement routine - 30 mg, Quercetin - 15 mg, gesperedine - 100 mg.

The use of vitamin E
Vitamin E and free radicals
Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant. Catechins in green tea can reduce the cell structure based actions are guided by their property to capture oxygen free radicals and neutralize them. As a powerful natural antioxidants, bioflavonoids protect our body's cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, preventing aging, immunity disorders, the occurrence of various diseases. Preventing free radical activity, bioflavonoids increase the body's resistance to adverse environmental factors, slow the aging process.

Vitamin E and cardiovascular system
Rutin gesperedin, quercetin in the vitamin P have kapillyaroukreplyayuschim property normalize and support the structure, flexibility, function, and permeability of blood vessels, prevent their sclerotic lesion, promote vasodilation and maintaining normal blood pressure, swelling, improve blood circulation, preventing the development of varicose veins .
Bioflavonoids, together with vitamin C , prevent the destruction of hyaluronic acid, which strengthens the "cement" of the cell vessels together. Because of this structure is preserved capillaries, increasing their strength, reduced permeability of the walls of blood vessels, preventing bruising.
Quercetin protects the cardiovascular system from excess cholesterol.

Vitamin P and immunity
Bioflavonoids enhance the availability of vitamin C and extend its influence. They possess antibacterial activity, due catechins, which are involved in the creation of protection against colds and infections.

Vitamin E and cancer
Quercetin because of its antioxidant activity, inhibits the growth of tumor cells, particularly in breast cancer and cancer of the blood.

Vitamin P and inflammation
Vitamin P gently stimulates the adrenal cortex and, thus, increases the synthesis of glucocorticoids, has a therapeutic and prophylactic effect in many states.

Vitamin P and allergies
Vitamin P (in particular, quercetin, catechin, gesperedin) prevents the development of histamine and serotonin (mediators of allergy), providing anti-edema and mild analgesic effect, making it easier for allergic disorders, including asthma.
