5. Prevention of Kidney Stones
If you have ever experienced kidney stones you already know that they can be extremely painful. There are some people who are at a higher risk of developing kidney stones than others. Diosmin is a flavanone antioxidant that is found in lemons. This antioxidant can help decrease phosphorus and urinary calcium in the kidneys. In addition, it can help increase the volume of urine as well as serum calcium levels. This all helps to ease pressure from the kidneys, which in turn can reduce the chances of kidney stones developing.
