[What is Grapefruit?]

Citrus paradisi (Citrus Grandis Osbeck) is the botanical name for grapefruit. Most grapefruit varieties are somewhat bitter-tasting with a sweet, citrus aroma. The pulp may be yellow, pink, or red in color. Its common name is thought to have derived from the grape-like growth characteristic, as the fruits are commonly found in clusters on the tree. The fruit has been known by many names throughout its history — pummelo grapefruit, shaddock, pink grapefruit, white grapefruit, and forbidden fruit.

[What is Naringin?]

Naringin belongs to a group of chemicals called bioflavonoids, which are colorful pigments found in plants. They were discovered by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Albert Szent-Gyorgi, who labeled them "vitamin P" (although they were subsequently stripped of their vitamin status). Bioflavonoids belong to a larger group of phytochemicals called polyphenols. Key polyphenols include phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, and lignans. Flavonoids are the most abundant polyphenols in our diets.

Naringin is the major flavonoid glycoside in grapefruit and gives grapefruit juice the bitter taste. It is metabolized to the flavanone naringenin in humans. Both naringenin and hesperetin, which are the aglycones of naringin and hesperidin, occur naturally in citrus fruits. Naringin exerts a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity, blood lipid lowering, anticancer activity, and inhibition of selected drug metabolizing cytochrome P**0 enzymes, including CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, which may result in drug interactions in vivo.

[Main Function of Naringin]

1. Cholesterol-lowering effect, help treating diabetes

2. Naringin (and grapefruit) can interfere with certain drugs including calcium channel blockers, sedatives, cholesterol lowering drugs, and estrogen

3.Naringin stimulates the effect of caffeine and could therefore increase its fat burning action to help reduce the effects of cellulite.

[Main Application of Naringin]

Naringin is a natural chemical compound known as a bioflavanoid found in grapefruit, giving it its bitter flavor. Hence,the food industry, however, uses naringin as a bitter in "tonic" beverages, bitter chocolate, ice cream, and ices.

This bioflavonoid has antioxidant and antifungal properties, and as such may help prevent cancer and atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), as well as a number of other ailments,such as Herpes ,Diabetes, Alcoholism, Heart failure, Chronic venous insufficiency, Bruising.

Naringin also works synergistically with other nutrients, increasing the bio-availability (how much nutrient is absorbed by the body) and therefore maximizing the health benefits of these nutrients.

Of course, it is important to note this citrus extract interferes with enzyme activity in the intestines, and therefore can inhibit the breakdown of certain drugs. That is why you should consult with your physician if you are on any medication before eating grapefruit.
