Research & Evidence
Flavonoid glycosides are flavonoids attached to one or more sugar molecules. This is the form in which most flavonoids actually occur in plants, including in herbs such as calendula; the sugar improves water solubility and influences how the compound is absorbed and metabolized, with the active flavonoid (aglycone) typically released in the body. As a broad group they account for much of the flavonoid content studied for antioxidant and related effects in plant foods and herbs.
Toxicity & Safety
As the predominant dietary form of common flavonoids, flavonoid glycosides are generally regarded as low risk at typical intakes from foods and herbs.
