HESPERIDIN: Reduces markers of heart disease and protects against myocardium structural damage

That Twitter screenshot of the article comes from the Journal of Hypertension.  Of note from the articles listed therein is the fact that Hesperidin protects the heart.  Other compounds do, too, like Resveratrol, magnesium, vitamin Bs, vitamin D3, and, of course, vitamin C.  When I first tried the Hesperidin/Diosomin, the veins on my legs became visibly stronger, more fortified.  I do love this product.

In most Hesperidin/Diosomin combinations, you're going to get only 100 mg of Hesperidin, so not sure it makes much sense to order any of the 1,000mg of Hesperidin/Diosomin because that 1,000mg refers to the Diosomin. 

These are nutritional compounds taken from citrus fruit.  VeryWellHealth explains that

Although oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruit are known to be an excellent source of vitamin C, these fruits also contain diosmin, a little-known flavonoid compound found to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

I've known and seen examples of older folks suffering from phlebitis, or inflammation of the veins.  This inflammation, if gone unchecked, will show as open wounds or ulcers on the skin.  The folks that I've seen with phlebitis had it on their lower legs near their ankles, which may be common due to poor lower leg circulation.  They were helpless.  I was helpless.  Their doctors were helpless.  The wounds were nasty looking and only reminded these poor souls of the extent of their internal illness, which were other problems. It's just that the ulcerated lower leg looked awful and was, to them and the rest of us at the time, untreatable.   Doctors are of no use.  Hesperidin comes paired with Diosomin because they're both citrus compounds that have healing powers on inflamed veins AND other blood vessels, like the capillaries.  This should be of note to anyone who got vaccinated since the spike proteins tend to settle in the capillary network between veins and arteries.   

Diosmin is often referred to as a phlebotonic, a class of therapeutic agents used to improve the health of veins. It's also said to enhance the health of other types of blood vessels.

First used therapeutically in the 1960s, diosmin is widely available in dietary supplement form. In many cases, diosmin is taken in combination with hesperidin, another citrus fruit flavonoid. A supplement known as "micronized purified flavonoid fraction", or MPFF, is a combination of diosmin with hesperidin, typically in a 9:1 ratio. Diosmin can also be produced by extracting hesperidin from citrus rinds and modifying its components.
