Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are a diverse group of plant compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. Their use for angina is primarily rooted in traditional medicine rather than strong scientific validation. Historically, bioflavonoids have been used for their purported ability to strengthen capillaries, improve circulation, and reduce symptoms associated with vascular disorders, including angina. This traditional usage is based on the general belief that bioflavonoids possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could theoretically benefit cardiovascular health and alleviate chest pain due to angina. However, scientific studies directly evaluating the efficacy of bioflavonoids in treating angina are limited and generally of low quality. While some in vitro and animal studies suggest bioflavonoids may improve endothelial function or reduce oxidative stress, clinical trials specifically examining their effect on angina symptoms or frequency are scarce and inconclusive. Reviews of the available literature consistently note a lack of robust, well-controlled human studies supporting the use of bioflavonoids as a treatment for angina. In summary, while bioflavonoids have a long history of traditional use for various vascular conditions, including angina, scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness for this specific indication is weak. Their use for angina is thus justified primarily by tradition rather than by strong clinical research.
