Citrus fruits are well known for providing large amounts of vitamin C, but they are a great source of natural bioflavonoids too.

Bioflavonoids is a term used to describe biologically active molecules, named flavonoids, found in different compounds derived from plants, which improve health.

Each citrus contains different types of flavonoids, found in different amounts and concentrations. The citrus fruits listed before contain high concentrations of the following bioflavonoids:

Bordas has a wide experience in the field of extraction and production of different active and functional ingredients.

Although all flavonoids are structurally related with others, they have different functionalities.

As each flavonoids offers separately different proven beneficial effects to human and animal health, in Bordas company we create and develop infinitives and excellent natural formulations mixing different types of flavonoids. These mixes are commonly named Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex (CBC).

Our tailor-made Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex (CBC), which become an added value for different industries, are designed and created carefully to satisfy every requirement of our clients and to provide the desired health function.

Citrus Bioflavonoids have pharmacological and biochemical effects and are potentially useful for therapeutic purposes.

Most of the human and animal health benefits attributed to Citrus Bioflavonoids are generally related to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, recognized for many years and demonstrated in numerous studies.

Our Citrus Bioflavonoids are widely used to prevent and treat blood vessels and lymphatic system diseases.

The benefits of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the Citrus Bioflavonoids result in the following activities:

• Antioxidant: Thanks to its antioxidant property, Citrus Bioflavonoids help to fight against free radicals, decreasing and preventing oxidative stress.
• Synergistic power: Citrus Bioflavonoids and vitamin C are usually extracted from the same citrus fruits. They both have, separately, antioxidant power. This power increases significantly when they act together.
• Potential anti-allergens: Allergic diseases are often associated with an excess of oxidative stress in the body. Citrus Bioflavonoids help to eliminate these free radicals and to stabilize the reactive oxygen species.
• Capillary resistance: Studies have shown that certain Citrus Bioflavonoids can increase capillary resistance and strengthen the walls of blood capillaries. This activity may be related to its ability to protect collagen.
• Healthy Circulation: Citrus Bioflavonoids can also provide general benefits for the health of the circulatory system, preventing and even treating different vascular diseases, and so improving blood circulation.
• Boost the immune system: Several studies have shown that Citrus Bioflavonoids also help to maintain and improve the state and functions of the immune system, increasing the ability to provide a correct and rapid immune response.
• Cholesterol and obesity: Citrus Bioflavonoids have the ability to regulate blood cholesterol levels, producing beneficial effects on obesity.
• Antimicrobial and antifungal: There are many studies which have demonstrated the antimicrobial and antifungal effect of Citrus Bioflavonoids.

Nowadays, Bordas is carrying out different studies about several activities of different composition of Citrus Bioflavonoids, specifically on their antimicrobial and antifungal properties, as well as for their use in skin care products.
