Neohesperidin

Neohesperidin is a flavanone glycoside, a type of flavonoid found in citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. It is a derivative of hesperidin, another flavonoid, and is known for its potential health benefits. Neohesperidin is often used in dietary supplements and functional foods due to its antioxidant properties and potential anti-inflammatory effects.

The compound is composed of a neohesperidin aglycone, which is a flavanone, and a disaccharide (sugar) component. The neohesperidin aglycone is a 4',5,7-trihydroxyflavanone, and the disaccharide is rhamnosyl-(1→2)-glucoside. This structure gives neohesperidin its unique chemical properties and biological activities.

Neohesperidin has been studied for its potential to improve cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress. Some research suggests that it may help lower cholesterol levels and improve blood vessel function. However, more studies are needed to fully understand its effects and potential applications.

Neohesperidin is generally considered safe for consumption when taken as directed. However, as with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
