Pharmacological action of Hesperidin
Hesperidin, a plant flavonoid found in citrus peels, helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and their permeability, improve the condition of capillary vessels, increase blood flow in the coronary vessels, lower blood pressure and prevent bleeding. Also, hesperidin, by relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessels and bile ducts, helps in the treatment of mycoses, arteriosclerosis, ulcers, allergies and tumors. In addition, it reduces allergic reactions, asthma symptoms, and has antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
In combination with diosmin, hesperidin has an angioprotective and venotonic effect, reduces the distensibility of veins and capillary permeability and increases their tone. The combined action of these active ingredients helps to reduce venous stasis and improve microcirculation and lymph drainage.
