Uses and Administration
Flavonoids are naturally occurring antioxidants that are wide-
ly distributed in plants. Preparations containing natural or
semisynthetic flavonoids are thought to improve capillary
function by reducing abnormal leakage. They have been giv-
en to relieve capillary impairment and venous insufficiency of
the lower limbs, and for haemorrhoids.
It has been suggested that flavonoids present in some foods,
such as fruit, vegetables, tea. and red wine may protect
against the development of atherosclerosis .
