Citrus Aurantium 30%
Citrus Aurantium 30% is an extract from the bitter orange tree, which contains synephrine, a compound that has ephedrine-like effects on the cardiovascular system. It is widely used in weight management products and as a thermogenic agent, as well as in sports performance products to enhance stamina.
The benefits of Citrus Aurantium 30% include weight loss, increased energy, and improved athletic performance. According to a systematic review and meta-analysis, Citrus Aurantium extracts and p-Synephrine are safe and effective for weight loss. However, there are numerous case reports of adverse cardiac reactions associated with Citrus Aurantium extract use.
The recommended dosage of Citrus Aurantium 30% varies depending on the product and the concentration of synephrine. Potential side effects of Citrus Aurantium 30% include increased blood pressure, sensitivity to the sun, and worsening of glaucoma. It is also important to note that bitter orange can decrease how quickly the body breaks down sildenafil.
