Vitamin P What is it?

Vitamin P - bioflavonoids
=========================

Bioflavonoids also called Vitamin P are not strictly speaking a
vitamin, but for easy classification, we are listing it as a vitamin.
The term bioflavonoids refers to many different ingredients and
include hesperin, hesperidin, eriodictyol, quercetin, quercertrin,
rutin etc. This nutrient can not be manufactured by the body and must
be supplied in the diet.
=====================================================================

Vitamin P - bioflavonoids - are required for 
---------------------------------------------

Bioflavonoids enhance the action of Vitamin C and for this reason they
should be taken together. Bioflavonoids are effectively used in the
treatment of sport injuries as they are pain relieving. They may also
be used in relieving pain in the legs, across the back and can lessen
the symptoms of prolonged bleeding, a low serum calcium as well as
oral herpes. 

Bioflavonoids may also be active in preserving the structures of
capillaries, have an antibacterial effect and promote circulation.
They may be indicated in the production of bile, lowering blood
cholesterol levels and in the prevention and treatment of cataracts. 

Bioflavonoids are thought to enhance the absorption of Vitamin C, and
possibly to prolong the effectiveness of it as well. These are super
active substances, and can add a great deal to your nutritional needs
in health and disease. 

This nutrient acts together with Vitamin C to help maintain the thin
walls of the capillaries, therefore preventing bleeding or bruising.
Bioflavonoids have been linked to having an antibacterial effect,
stimulating bile production, promoting circulation and even assisting
with fighting allergies, asthma etc.

Deficiency of vitamin P 
------------------------

If a diet contains enough fruit and vegetables, bioflavonoids should
not be deficient, but deficiency would show up as bruising. Where
antioxidants are indicated and none present bioflavonoids could be of
help, as well as iron deficiency, since it helps with the absorption
of iron.

Dosage 
-------

The dosage underneath is the (RDA), but be aware that this dosage is
the minimum that you require per day, to ward off serious deficiency
of this particular nutrient. 

In the therapeutic use of this nutrient, the dosage is usually
increased considerably, but the toxicity level must be kept in mind.

No dosage has been determined but 500 mg per day is indicated for
supplementation. 

Toxicity and symptoms of high intake 
-------------------------------------

Very high dosages of bioflavonoids may cause diarrhea.

Best used with 
---------------

Bioflavonoids should be taken with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and
calcium.

When more may be required 
--------------------------

Bioflavonoids should be taken with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and
calcium.

Other interesting points 
-------------------------

Absorption of the bioflavonoids can be a bit slow, but small amounts
can be stored in the body. 

If you are suffering from cold sores, consider taking a supplement of
1,000-mg Vitamin C and 1,000 mg Bioflavonoids, and then 500 mg of
each, three times a day. 

A daily intake of Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids may make you less
susceptible to cold sores.

Food sources of bioflavonoids - vitamin P
-----------------------------------------

Bioflavonoids are found in the white material just beneath citrus
peel, as well as in peppers, grapes, pine bark, onions, garlic, blue
and red berries, green tea as well as buckwheat.
