Phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, are bioactive compounds produced by plants, including citrus fruits, that exhibit antioxidant effects on mammalian cells and tissues. Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are a family of flavonoids found in the pulp and peel of citrus fruits, and have been reported to have potent antioxidant activity implicated in the prevention of human diseases. Several studies have shown that PMFs have a protective effect on bone resorption in mouse models of diseases, including osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease.
