Flavonoids

Flavonoids are a group of natural compounds that primarily occur in plants, particularly in fruits, vegetables, leaves, and flowers. These substances are responsible for the color and flavor of many plants and are often found in foods such as berries, citrus fruits, tea, and dark chocolate. Flavonoids are known for their antioxidant properties and are often studied for their potential health benefits.

Traditionally, flavonoids have been used in various cultures as part of the diet and in herbal remedies. In pets such as dogs, chickens, and horses, flavonoids can be added to the diet to support overall health. Some dietary supplements for these animals contain extracts with a high flavonoid content, which help promote healthy digestion and a strong immune system.

The potential benefits of flavonoids for pets can range from supporting cardiovascular health to reducing inflammation. It is important to always consult with a veterinarian when using flavonoids in the diet of animals to ensure that their use is safe and appropriate.
