Naringin Supplement (Grapefruit Extract)

Grapefruit Extract is an extract of grapefruit standardized to 99% naringin, the fruit's main active principle. Grapefruit is rich in fiber, hence its low-caloric content and its popularity as a part of weight-loss diets. This naringin supplement is now available to buy in supplement form at Supersmart.

What are the ingredients in Grapefruit Extract?

This supplement’s excellence is largely due to the nutritional composition of the pomelo. Though often conflated, pomelo and grapefruit are actually two separate species, with grapefruit being more common in the West. This dietary supplement is formulated from pomelo, also known as Citrus paradisi.

Obtained via extraction from the whole fruit — the pulp, seeds and skin of the pomelo — the extract is then processed into dietary supplement form. In accordance with current legislation, Grapefruit Extract is completely free from synthetic compounds, such as benzethonium or paraben.

In addition, this extract contains bioflavonoids, antioxidant compounds known for the essential role they play in protecting the body. But the most important active ingredient in our grapefruit extract supplement is naringin, a flavonoid heteroside that gives the pomelo and grapefruit their distinctive bitter taste. Concentrated in the pith, naringin is used in a number of products, such as tonic drinks.

Grapefruit Extract Benefits

While grapefruit is often recommended as part of a weight loss program, its pharmaceutical potential has also been widely studied by the scientific community:

• Researchers have identified it as a powerful antioxidant because of its flavonoid content that may prevent cellular aging by reducing oxidative stress-induced cell damage.
• Scientists have also been studying pomelo extract to better understand why some consider it to be a natural antiviral and anti-inflammatory.
• Though the benefits of grapefruit extract have yet to be fully established, results suggest it may have analgesic, antiviral, anti-ulcer, neuroprotective and lipid-lowering effects.

Let’s dive deeper into the specific grapefruit extract, or naringin supplement, benefits.

Naringin and Burning Fat

If you are looking to lose weight, naringin supplementation may be right for you. Grapefruit extract contains naringin and other flavonoids that have been shown to aid weight loss efforts

Research shows that grapefruit helps with weight loss, but the reasons aren’t fully known. Of course, this fruit is low in calories, so substituting grapefruit for other high-calorie fruits may be one of the reasons.

However, a 2003-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) showed that of 12,700 people, those who consumed some form of grapefruit regularly had a lower body weight, lower body mass index and a smaller waist circumference.

Another study of 85 overweight adults revealed that consuming grapefruit before a meal could suppress appetite and lead to a full feeling in their stomachs. Another study of 91 obese participants showed that those who consumed grapefruit in various forms lost more weight than a placebo group.

A grapefruit extract supplement may reduce insulin resistance as well.

But not everyone wants to eat or drink grapefruits every day, so they buy grapefruit extract instead. With a comparable nutritional value, grapefruit extract pills make the process easier than ever.

Taking Grapefruit Extract for Skin Care

You may already know that naringin supports skin health, but how? Let’s find out and take a closer look at the biggest grapefruit extract benefits for skin.

Grapefruit extract capsules are rich in antioxidants and these antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which lead to aging. And when you expose your skin to the sun's harmful UV rays, you may struggle more with free radicals, which may lead to fine lines, hollowness, dark spots, wrinkles and even cancer.

But whenever free radicals are neutralized, the skin has the chance to rebuild and possibly create a more youthful appearance. It's also possible to prevent premature aging if you fight these free radicals — just another one of the many grapefruit extract skin benefits.

And, because grapefruit extract is also an anti-inflammatory, it reduces redness that is caused by the environment. It might even minimize blemishes and reduce healing time because of the increase in blood flow it produces. While there are many forms of grapefruit extract that can be applied directly to the skin, you may also see benefits from simply taking a grapefruit naringin supplement.

Naringin as an Antiviral and Anti-inflammatory

Naringin dietary supplementation may be able to kill over sixty types of yeasts and bacteria, according to some research. Other studies indicate that taking GSE is just as effective as some prescription topical antifungal and antibacterial medications, even nystatin.Studies also show it attacks and kills yeast through apoptosis, which makes the harmful substances self-destruct.
