Flavonoids are a diverse group of phytonutrients found in many plants, including cannabis. In cannabis, flavonoids contribute to the plant’s color, flavor, and aroma, and also offer potential health benefits such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. While there are over 6,000 known flavonoids across different plant species, cannabis contains a subset of these.
Key Takeaways:
Cannaflavins (A, B, and C) are unique to cannabis and are notable for their powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Many of these flavonoids, such as quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol, are common in other plants but contribute to cannabis’ potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects.
Flavonoids, in combination with cannabinoids and terpenes, contribute to the entourage effect, enhancing the therapeutic potential of cannabis.
These flavonoids play a vital role in shaping the overall effects and therapeutic benefits of cannabis products, though more research is still being done to fully understand their roles.
