Protection of Cells:

Bioflavonoids are a group of plant pigments that are responsible for the colours of many fruits. Citrus bioflavonoids are those bioflavonoids, or flavonoids, found in citrus fruits such as lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, etc.

Free radicals are produced in excess due to exposure to pollution, sunlight and many other factors such as cigarette smoke, and modern day-to-day living. Vitamin C supports the body's ability to neutralise free radicals by contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
