There are at least 4,000 different bioflavonoids and they exist in every living organism all around us. Bioflavonoids are polyphenolic organic compounds that are sometimes referred to as flavonoids– they are some of the most versatile molecules found in a plant’s biochemistry
Bioflavonoids are very reactive and are responsible for colour in flowers, regulating growth, signalling to different parts of the plant and helping manage stress. In fact, the word “flavonoid” comes from the Latin, flavus, meaning yellow.
Importantly, flavonoids are the antioxidants for plants, which means they can boost natural defences by targeting free radicals that can be harmful if unmanaged.
Bioflavonoids always have the same basic chemical makeup, but they have an amazing ability to change form and usage.
Depending on what a plant needs at any moment, bioflavonoids can transform into useful defence molecules as well as many other very helpful tools.
Not just boosters for plant growth, bioflavonoids actually have a unique scope of responsibilities and functions, too. These are commonly to do with a plant’s nutritional value or its defence.
Bioflavonoids play a role in regulating plant development, including pigmentation and further support with UV protection. They play a critical role as a defence mechanism – being an antioxidant, they help to regulate plant health and defence, particularly against pathogens.
Essentially, bioflavonoids are the molecular version of a Swiss army knife, even to the point where they can be closed and stored in a safe manner until needed. This makes bioflavonoids the ideal maintenance and survival tool for plants.
When these bioflavonoid molecules join together with different molecules that link to specific locations on the flavonoid molecule, they can become antibiotic or probiotic in nature. So, this gives the plant the opportunity in some cases to protect itself from attack by bacteria and even insects or other predatory pests.
One of the most commonly talked about benefits of a bioflavonoid is their role in stimulating plant growth and health, often reducing natural stress in the process.
For example, bioflavonoids are responsible for signalling and help plant pigmentation and colouration. In flowers, they promote and produce vivid colours, typically yellows, that evolve in the petals. These are helpful in attracting natural pollinators too.
From everyday gardeners to veteran horticulturalists, the successful cultivation and management of domestic plant life is aided by the
nutritional benefits and defences of bioflavonoids. As a more natural line of defence, as opposed to synthetic alternatives, bioflavonoids can support plant life organically and help them to thrive and survive in nature.
The amounts of these specialist and versatile natural chemistries needed to help individual plants are very small. So, a small volume of bioflavonoids can go a long way in treating a large number of plants.
This is why bioflavonoids play such an important role in the design and makeup of our products at The Magic Molecule Co. We are making nature’s tools available to you in high concentrations to help your plants grow more vigorously and help you create your own healthy and thriving garden.
