Tag: Citrus paradisi

The grapefruit is a relatively young citrus fruit, only about 300 years old, and is a natural hybrid that first appeared in the Caribbean. Its story begins on the island of Barbados in the 18th century, a chance cross-pollination event that forever changed the citrus landscape.

Scientific research shows that Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is not a single compound but contains various active substances. This raises questions about the common idea that GSE and naringin are identical, a misunderstanding requiring explanation for consumers interested in natural health.
