Citrus flavonoids, especially those found in lemons like hesperidin, have been extensively researched. What is interesting about citrus flavonoids when managing blood glucose levels is their unique multipronged approach. Similar to other ingredients, citrus flavonoids help to improve insulin sensitivity and balance the inflammatory response,1 and because of their strong antioxidant capacity2,3 citrus flavonoids help to efficaciously manage blood glucose levels.
It has been reported that hesperidin can help boost recovery after intense exercise by improving oxidation and inflammation. A study demonstrated that acute and chronic intake of 500mg of 2S-hesperidin in amateur cyclists, significantly improved anaerobic performance.4
