Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are a group of plant-derived compounds with antioxidant properties. Their use in supporting or preventing aging is primarily based on their ability to reduce oxidative stress, which is thought to play a role in the aging process and in age-related diseases. Several laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that bioflavonoids can scavenge free radicals, reduce inflammation, and modulate signaling pathways involved in cell survival and apoptosis. Some epidemiological studies suggest that higher dietary intake of flavonoids is associated with lower risk of chronic diseases related to aging, such as cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

However, direct clinical evidence that mixed bioflavonoids can prevent or slow human aging is limited. Most human studies focus on disease-specific outcomes rather than overall aging or longevity. The heterogeneity of bioflavonoid supplements (in terms of composition and bioavailability) further complicates interpretation. While the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects are plausible mechanisms supporting their use, robust clinical trials specifically evaluating anti-aging effects in humans are lacking. Therefore, while there is some scientific rationale and preliminary evidence, the overall strength of evidence for bioflavonoids in aging prevention is modest.
