From animal studies and scientific studies on humans, the following positive effects on health continue to emerge.Hesperidin generally protects the integrity of the veins and can be supportive in varicose veins – varices (varicose veins) – as well as contribute to the treatment of hemorrhoids as well as venous ulcers (ulcers). In animal studies, it was shown to lower serum cholesterol levels; in humans, drinking orange juice already had a positive effect on blood lipid levels – increasing good HDL cholesterol. In another human study, hesperidin also lowered serum triglyceride levels.Animal studies showed that hesperidin can help inhibit tumor cell growth. Hesperitin can protect against some viruses, such as herpes simplex type I and influenza, by inhibiting replication within cells. This was shown in a study on cell cultures.
