This supplement is the real deal. What I mean by that is not that it necessarily will help your particular health issues, but that it is in fact a lemon bioflavonoid supplement, not a cheap imitation or a "citrus" bioflavonoid supplement primarily derived from other sources.The reason this is important is that for the conditions for which most people are advised take bioflavonoids, the flavanone that's actually providing the benefit is something called eriocitrin (eriodictyol 7-rutinosidealso, also called eriodictyol glycoside), which is most abundant in lemon rinds. Other citrus fruits contain very little eriocitrin by comparison. Eriocitrin is believed to widen the tiny capillaries in the inner ear and to moderate inflammation caused by histamines. It's also been found to reduce lipid levels in animal studies. So if it's eriocitrin that you need, then you specifically want lemon bioflavonoids, not "citrus" bioflavonoids, which may contain very little eriocitrin.Or more to the point: If you are trying to clear up Eustachian tube problems resulting in tinnitus or hearing loss, Meniere's disease, balance problems, or other inner ear issues; and if you have been told by your doctor or other health-care professional to try taking bioflavonoids; then I suggest that either these tablets or the same company's 500 mg tablets would be a good choice. Not all companies' supplements are what they claim to be. These ones are.Regarding lemon bioflavonoids in general, they're very potent. They should be considered a medication and need to be taken at the correct dosage. In fact, these 1,000 mg tablets may actually be too potent for you. Bioflavonoids really need to be taken twice a day (preferably with the morning and evening meals) because of the way they're metabolized, but the resulting 2,000 mg daily dose may be too much for you. So ask your doctor. The same company has a 500 mg version that might be a better choice for you.Some of the side effects of overdose include insomnia, vivid or bizarre dreams, diarrhea, dizziness, pounding in the ears, and swelling of the joints, among others. So if you're silly enough to take these tablets without asking your doctor first, and if you experience any of those side effects, then you're probably taking too much.As for me, I'm not a doctor. I'm not even very smart. I've just been studying and using herbal supplements, in addition to conventional medicine, with my doctors' advice and supervision, for more than 40 years. In fact, I suggest that you not believe a damn thing I say until you run it by your doctor or health care provider. But if your doctor or health care provider does in fact suggest a bioflovanoid supplement for whatever's ailing you, then I suggest that you try this one.Richard

Again, I know these won’t work for everyone, but for me personally I feel like they do help my tinnitus a little bit. I’ve had tinnitus in my left ear now for about 18 months and haven’t really found any supplements to be all that helpful. However, a friend did recommend these to me and I like the other benefits as well. They’re easy to swallow and the smell/taste is pretty good. I’d say that is a seven out of 10 but very easy to take with water. It does feel like when I take these consistently it damp my tinnitus by 10 to 15%.

I've been using bioflavonoids for a few years now, and this product is at a great price point vs. the mg in each pill. They definitely work, and I can actually feel them kick in about 20 minutes after I take them. I tend to take two at once with my other vitamins.I originally got these after reading studies that found bioflavonoids help with hemorrhoids. They absolutely do. They reduce the pain of them, make them go away quicker, and even reduce the frequency of them coming back. Taking one or two a day, every day, and I essentially don't get hemorrhoids any more. When I forget, they do come back. If you suffer from hemorrhoids, these are a god-send.The other side benefit I found, as a male, comes from the fact that bioflavonoids directly affect the circulatory system. To put it bluntly, take 3-4 pills and these will beat Viagra. I'm 29, and if I take 3-4 at once, for the next 10 hours or so, it's like I'm 12 again. Gust of wind... boom. I don't have erectile dysfunction or any real problems, but I absolutely notice a nearly immediate increase in ability to get erect, the hardness of the erection, a greater ability to control ejaculation, slightly increased pleasure, and the psychological benefit of having my body working sexually like it did year ago. If you have erectile dysfunction, or just want to have some more fun (and you will, seriously), give these a shot. You don't have to take 3-4 pills at once, if you just take the one or two daily that is recommended, you'll still get some fun southern side effects.

Do these help with tinnitus? Apparently not immediately but I'm going to keep taking them until I'm convinced they don't help at all.

I have a very low capillary count, and strange-looking read smears pop up om ,y arms. I was told that citrus bioflavenoids help with the integrity of the blood cells, so I now tame on every morning. They seem to help a lot!

Good

This is a great flavonoid in pill. great start in preventing the big C I’ve am trying solids for. The first I me in this bioflavonoid.

I remember when I bought these pills that I saw one review mention that it messed with their blood pressure meds, but still took them because hey, we all hate tinnitus right? After I started taking them, my blood pressure shot up to 180/100 regularly despite routinely taking my meds. I didn't pin it on the bioflavonoids at the time so I kept taking them. A few days later my tinnitus worsened significantly, probably due to the increased blood pressure. Like, it went from 5-6 to 8-9.. it sounds like a circular saw in my head. I stopped the bioflavonoids after and my blood pressure went back to normal, but the circular saw has been in my head since. People say to try anything and everything for your tinnitus, but things can actually get much worse..
