Brief introduction
First isolated in the 1920s, Diosmin belongs to a class of polyphenolic compounds known as flavonoids, which are renowned for their antioxidant activity. It is predominantly found in the peels of citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. Diosmin is a phlebotropic drug, which means that it specifically targets the veins and helps improve their tone and elasticity. This unique property makes Diosmin an invaluable component in treatments aimed at alleviating venous diseases and other circulatory system disorders. Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that is a derivative of another flavonoid, diosmetin. The substance is most abundantly extracted from citrus fruits, though it can also be synthesized in laboratory settings.
