More than 4,000 flavonoids (or bioflavonoids, as they are sometimes called on supplement labels) have been identified, and scientists suspect that there may be many more still to be discovered in nature. Flavonoids give color to fruits, vegetables, and herbs and are found in legumes, grains, and nuts as well. They are also potent antioxidants some are even more powerful than vitamin C or vitamin E in preventing cell damage caused by unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals). So far only a few flavonoids have been investigated for their healing potential.

Bioflavonoids
Although bioflavonoids are not true vitamins in the strictest sense, they are sometimes referred to as vitamin P.
Bioflavonoids enhance the absorption of vitamin C, and the two should be taken together. There are many different bioflavonoids, including hesperetin, hesperidin, eriodictyol, quercetin, quercetrin, and rutin. The human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, so they must be supplied in the diet.
