- HIGHLIGHTS
Citrus fruits are the main sources of dietary flavonoids in the Mediterranean diet.; Wellemon intake, compared to hesperidin, can provide higher concentrations, to 30 times of final active metabolites.; Flavanones like eriocitrin and hesperidin are mainly present in citrus fruits.; Wellemon®'s eriocitrin has high water solubility due to its molecular structure, thus having better bioavailability compared to analogs such as hesperidin.; The Pure-Hydro Process water-only extraction method guarantees an excellent and clean delivery of the natural components of the lemon.; Other properties related to skin health: modulation of inflammatory response, UV protection, wound care, antimicrobial, skin brightening and firming effects, epidermal permeability homeostasis.; Regular intake of Wellemon overcomes bioavailability issues and may provide an opportunity for more consistent health benefits.
