Oxidative stress - the process of damage to cells or tissues of the body as a result of oxidation. In the human body, this type of stress can occur for the benefit and harm. In the latter case, we are talking about the effect of the so-called reactive oxygen species formed in the body under the influence of various processes. The result of this impact is the development of many different diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and many others.

Traditionally, the most effective way to combat oxidative stress is vitamin C, but due to malnutrition it can be absorbed in insufficient quantities, which is very often and many health problems are provoked. The so-called biological active flavonoids, including hesperidin, quercetin, diosmin, naringin, and rutin can significantly enhance the effect of vitamin C and promote its assimilation.. In nature, there is only one product where they are contained in sufficient quantities - this is citrus fruit.

It turned out that if you feel a lack of vitamin C in your body, then in no case can you correct the situation by taking vitamins (for example, ascorbic acid). Without flavonoids, ascorbic acid is rapidly oxidized and not only does not benefit the body, but also causes it significant harm. Flavonoids, a special kind of phytonutrients, among other things have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, and most on the patency of blood on small capillary vessels - scientists believe.



Thanks to this, the person improves the blood saturation of all tissues without exception, including lungs, as a result of which breathing is much easier, an effect due to which many patients during a variety of clinical trials noted a significant improvement in their condition, mood increase and a burst of energy. Thus, scientists once again came to the same conclusion - to maintain the tone in the body and to maintain the optimal balance of vitamins and minerals should, whenever possible, refuse to accept synthetic supplements, opting for natural fruits and vegetables.
