Hesperidin is a natural flavonoid found in citrus fruits, particularly in the peel and inner white membranes of oranges and lemons. It is celebrated for its potential health benefits and is commonly used as a dietary supplement. Hesperidin is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, it is believed to support vascular health by promoting healthy blood circulation and strengthening blood vessels, making it of interest in cardiovascular health. Hesperidin may also have a role in skin health, as it's known to enhance collagen production and protect against ultraviolet (UV) damage. Research into the potential benefits of hesperidin is ongoing, and it has shown promise in various areas, including immune support and allergy relief.
