anonymous customer.
Answer:
Hesperidin is an effective substance in some plants and belongs to the group of bioflavonoids. Most often, this specific bioflavonoid is found in citrus fruits, it is also similar to the molecule diosmin, which is used in related purposes than hesperidin itself.
Hesperidin is mainly incorporated into tablets and capsules in recent times, i.e. they are mainly part of medicines.
Hesperidin, alone or in combination with other citrus bioflavonoids (such as diosmin), is most often used to support blood vessel diseases such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and poor blood circulation (venous stasis).
How does hesperidin work?
Hesperidin can help improve blood vessel function and consistency.
Efficiency and highlights
1. Poor circulation, which can cause swelling of the legs (chronic venous insufficiency)
Taking a certain product by mouth that contains hesperidin and vitamin C seems to relieve symptoms of poor circulation in the legs. Oral administration of a drug containing hesperidin and diosmin for a period of 2-6 months improves the symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency.
2. Hemorrhoids.
Some research shows that taking hesperidin and diosmin improves the symptoms of anal hemorrhoids. It can also prevent hemorrhoids from coming back once they heal.
3. Leg sores due to poor blood circulation (venous leg ulcers).
2 months of oral administration of a special medication containing hesperidin and diosmin appears to improve the healing of small ulcers with venous stasis when used in conjunction with compression bandages.
