Hesperidin is a flavonoid, a type of plant compound that has been shown to have a wide range of health benefits.†
It is found primarily in citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and limes.†
Hesperidin exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, protecting cells from two key contributors to the onset of age-related and chronic diseases: inflammation and oxidative stress.†
Many studies have demonstrated the potential health effects of Hesperidin:
Heart Health: A meta-analysis of 13 studies reported that Hesperidin supplementation decreased blood cholesterol levels, the inflammatory molecule TNF-α, and systolic blood pressure.†
Blood pressure: In a clinical trial, adults with type 2 diabetes showed significant improvements in blood pressure, inflammation, and total antioxidant capacity (a measure indicating the ability to neutralize harmful free radicals) after supplementing with Hesperidin for 6 weeks.†
Inflammation: An evaluation of 18 clinical trials in a meta-analysis revealed Hesperidin reduced several markers of inflammation and the levels of MDA, a marker of damage to fat important for cell function and structure.†
Blood Vessel Function: A 3-week clinical trial showed Hesperidin improved blood flow and reduced the levels of inflammatory markers in adults with metabolic syndrome.† In a trial with overweight men, drinking a glass of orange juice daily or supplementing with Hesperidin for four weeks improved blood flow after meals, indicating improved blood vessel function.†
Standard Hesperidin does not dissolve easily after ingestion, resulting in a bioavailability of about 20%.† This means that about 20% of Hesperidin is absorbed and available for use in the body.† (1) To address this issue, LIPO Hesperidin uses an advanced liposomal delivery system designed to improve the bioavailability, created for better absorption, and a slower release into the bloodstream.†
