Flavonoids, or bioflavonoids, are a ubiquitous group of polyphenolic substances which are present in most plants and herbs, concentrating in seeds, fruit skin or peel, bark, and flowers. A great number of plant medicines contain flavonoids, which have been reported by many authors as having antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-mutagenic, anti-viral, anti-neoplastic, anti-thrombotic, and vasodilatory actions. With an amazing array of over 6,000 different substances found in virtually all plants and herbs, flavonoids are responsible for many of the plant colors that dazzle us with their brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.
