Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a flavonoid found in various plants such as citruses and evening primrose oil. It has potential as a potent antioxidant (as in reducing the effects of sun damage), and in the prevention of some cancers. It is also taken orally to improve circulation and to strengthen capillaries. There is no published research showing that it combats cellulite.
