Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Flavonones are a subclass of flavonoids, a group of polyphenolic compounds found abundantly in citrus fruits and some medicinal plants. There is some scientific interest in the use of flavonones for liver protection, including in the context of hepatitis, primarily based on preclinical studies. Animal and in vitro research has shown that certain flavonones—such as naringenin and hesperidin—can exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. These compounds have been observed to reduce liver enzyme levels, inhibit oxidative stress, and modulate inflammatory pathways that are implicated in liver injury and hepatitis.

However, direct clinical evidence in humans specifically evaluating the efficacy of unspecified flavonones for the treatment or support of hepatitis is limited. Most studies have focused on isolated compounds in laboratory models, and there are few rigorous clinical trials. The evidence is therefore preliminary and does not yet justify the use of flavonones as a standard therapy for hepatitis.

In summary, while there is a scientific rationale and some supportive preclinical data for the hepatoprotective effects of certain flavonones, robust human data are lacking. The use of flavonones for hepatitis should be considered experimental, and more research is needed to confirm their safety and efficacy in this context.
