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

Citrus bioflavonoids have a long history of use in traditional and natural medicine, particularly for their purported support of respiratory health. These compounds, found in citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, are believed to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Traditionally, they have been used in combination with vitamin C to help manage symptoms of respiratory conditions such as colds, bronchitis, and sinusitis. The rationale is that bioflavonoids may help stabilize capillaries, reduce inflammation, and support immune function, all of which can be beneficial during respiratory illnesses.

However, while there is some preclinical evidence suggesting that citrus bioflavonoids have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, robust clinical evidence specifically supporting their use for respiratory system health is limited. Most scientific studies focus on their general antioxidant role or their effects in vascular health rather than direct benefits to respiratory functioning. Therefore, their use for the respiratory system is primarily rooted in tradition and extrapolation from mechanistic studies, rather than well-established clinical trials.
