Is there any difference between specific lemon bioflavonoid and generic citrus bioflavonoid tablets?
Yes! The supplement I take that has caused a major reduction in my symptoms is a specific lemon-derived bioflavonoid. One bioflavonoid, eriocitrin (also called eriodictyol), is found in lemon rinds (but apparently not in other citrus fruits), and has been shown to be a capillary vasodilator. It increases the blood flow through these small vessels. Eriocitrin is the apparent active ingredient in lemon bioflavonoid. The lemon bioflavonoid I take is Lindberg Bioflavonoid Complex offered by Nutrition Express (NutritionExpress.com, 1-800-338-7979 price $5.99 to $13.49).
