Although bioflavonoids are not true vitamins in the strictest sense, they are sometimes called vitamin P. Bioflavonoids enhance the absorption of vitamin C, and the two should be taken together. There are many different bioflavonoids, including: eriodictyol, hesperetin, hesperidin, quercetin, quercetrin, and rutin. The human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, so they must be supplied in the food that is eaten or by nutritional supplements.

Bioflavonoids are used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries because they relieve pain, bumps, and bruises. They also reduce pain located in the legs or across the back, and lessen symptoms associated with prolonged bleeding and low serum calcium. Bioflavonoids work with vitamin C in synergy, to protect and preserve the structure of the blood capillaries.
