"Vitamin P" is not a real vitamin but rather a collective term for flavonoids, a large group of plant compounds found in deeply colored fruits, vegetables, cocoa, tea, and wine.
Flavonoids are known for their various health benefits, including:
- Antioxidant properties: They help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Blood vessel health: They can strengthen blood vessel walls and improve blood circulation.
- Inflammation reduction: They can help reduce inflammation throughout the body.
- Cardiovascular health: They may contribute to a lower risk of heart disease.
- Protection against chronic diseases: They may play a role in preventing certain types of cancer and other chronic conditions.
While flavonoids were previously called "vitamin P," they are now considered to be phytonutrients, which are plant-based compounds that have beneficial effects on human health.
