Flavonoids

Flavanoids are labeled as vitamin P. They are metabolites that enhance vitamin C’s functions by protecting it from oxidation and improving how vitamin C is absorbed. Flavonoids are important in plant pigmentation.

Anthocyanins are beneficial to both plants and people. The dark color they produce in plants acts as a natural sunblock, enabling its survival in climates with heavy sun exposure.

We talk about anthocyanins a lot here on Antioxidant-Fruits, but you may be wondering exactly what they are. This is a good question and one that we don’t discuss much in our daily lives. Anthocyanins are merely a type of flavonoid.

flavonols are just a type of flavonoids. Flavonoids are a category of secondary metabolites coming from plants. Many flavonoids have antioxidant properties, but not all.

Flavonols are a subcategory of flavonoids; flavonoids (also called bioflavonoids; at one time, they were referred to as “vitamin P”) are one class of plant-derived secondary metabolites.
