What is Flavonoid used for?
Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant pigments being part of a group of plant natural compounds called polyphenols1. They have strong antioxidant properties and are often responsible for the colors in many fruits, vegetables, and flowers. In plants, these compounds usually protect the plant from environmental stress as they are potent antioxidants. Some flavonoids have antiallergic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.
