Though, the actual in vivo mechanism of action is largely unknown. Most studies have attentivein vitro tests at amounts much higher than in humans,however few clinical investigations have been carried out around the diseases [12].Additional clinical trials are required to evaluate a more precise correlation between flavonoids consumption and human health benefits [13].
