Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, have been traditionally used in herbal and natural medicine to support cardiovascular health and are sometimes recommended for conditions like arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The rationale for this traditional use is based on the antioxidant properties of flavonoids, which are thought to help protect blood vessels from oxidative damage and support vascular integrity. Historically, diets rich in flavonoid-containing foods (such as citrus fruits, berries, and some herbs) have been associated with better cardiovascular outcomes in epidemiological studies, which may have contributed to their traditional use for arteriosclerosis.

However, although there is some scientific interest in the potential cardiovascular benefits of flavonoids, direct clinical evidence specifically supporting the use of mixed bioflavonoids as a treatment or preventive measure for arteriosclerosis is limited. Most studies are observational or involve animal models, and they often focus on specific flavonoids rather than mixed formulations. Some research suggests that flavonoids may help improve endothelial function and reduce inflammation, but these effects have not been conclusively shown to prevent or treat arteriosclerosis in human trials. Overall, while traditional use exists and some preliminary scientific rationale is present, robust clinical validation is lacking.
