Vitamin C: The interaction between flavonoids, such as hesperidin and hesperetin, and vitamin C is unclear. It has been believed for some time that flavonoids work synergistically with vitamin C, enhancing the absorption of the vitamin and preventing its oxidation. However, recent research indicates that flavonoids, such as hesperetin, may actually inhibit the uptake of vitamin C into cells. More research is needed to clarify this issue. |
