Citrus Aurantium Extract

Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (Zhi Shi)

This product is a dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium L., a plant of the Rutaceae family, and its cultivated varieties or Citrus sinensis Osbeck, a sweet orange. Collect fallen fruits from May to June, remove impurities, cut them in half from the middle, and dry them in the sun or at low temperature.

The Rutaceae family includes citrus fruits. Oranges, including tangerines, clementines, and satsumas (sometimes known as easy-peelers), grapefruits, lemons, and limes, are the citrus fruits that you are most likely familiar with.

Historical accounts show citrus fruits were first brought to the Americas from Europe in 1493. They were frequently added to tea for their energizing aroma. Sailors utilized citrus fruits to treat scurvy since it was recognized that they had therapeutic properties even then.

Description of citrus aurantium extract:

Source: 

Citrus aurantium extract is obtained from the peel of the bitter orange fruit, which is native to Southeast Asia but now cultivated in various parts of the world. The extract is typically produced by cold-pressing or steam-distilling the peel to capture its beneficial compounds.

Active Compounds: 

The extract contains various bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, alkaloids, and essential oils. One of the primary active ingredients in citrus aurantium extract is synephrine, a naturally occurring stimulant that is believed to have thermogenic and appetite-suppressing effects.

Uses: 

Citrus aurantium extract is commonly used in traditional medicine and dietary supplements for its potential health benefits. It is often promoted for weight loss, athletic performance enhancement, appetite suppression, and digestion improvement. Additionally, it is sometimes used in skincare products for its antioxidant properties.

Athletic Performance: 

Citrus aurantium extract is also used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts as a natural alternative to synthetic stimulants. It is believed to enhance athletic performance by increasing alertness, energy levels, and endurance during exercise.

Appetite Suppression: 

Synephrine in citrus aurantium extract may act as an appetite suppressant, helping to reduce food cravings and calorie intake. This effect is thought to be due to its influence on certain neurotransmitters and hormones involved in appetite regulation.

Safety Considerations: 

While citrus aurantium extract is generally considered safe for most people when used in moderation, excessive consumption or high doses may cause adverse effects such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Individuals with certain medical conditions or sensitivities should consult with a healthcare professional before using supplements containing citrus aurantium extract.

In summary, citrus aurantium extract is a natural botanical extract derived from the peel of the bitter orange fruit. It is commonly used in supplements for weight loss, athletic performance enhancement, and appetite suppression, although its effectiveness and safety should be evaluated on an individual basis.

These flavonoids benefit health by enhancing glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, decreasing the chance of developing diabetes. They help maintain the health of the intestinal lining and decrease inflammation. More significantly, research demonstrates that these chemicals are so beneficial to health that they even have anti-cancer capabilities.

Tangerine tangeretin and nobiletin（PMFs) are flavonoids that have been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver disease, and kidney failure. Lastly, citrus fruit flavonoids have been found in the lab to protect against brain and nerve cell degeneration, principally due to their antioxidant properties.
