Naringin

Naringin is a flavonoid found in citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges. It has several benefits, including anti-carcinogenic properties, cholesterol-lowering effects, weight loss, and antioxidant properties that eliminate free radicals.

Here are some of the benefits of Naringin:

• Helps prevent stomach damage: Preliminary studies show that naringin may help keep the lining of the stomach safe from damage that occurs as a result of stress, lesions, ulcers, or alcohol. The extract works by increasing the blood flow to the stomach while protecting the lining from free radicals.
• Aids in weight management: A study has shown that taking a regular supplement of naringin for 31 days led to measurably lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels as well as a notable loss in overall body weight.
• Contains antimicrobials: Researchers have found that naringin extract has compounds that help kill at least 60 types of yeast and bacteria. This makes it a great option for those seeking to boost their immune system or naturally.
• Helps with metabolic syndrome: Several lines of investigation suggest that naringin supplementation is beneficial for the treatment of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.
• Antioxidant properties: It is believed to help reduce oxidative stress in body cells, thereby preventing rapid aging and degeneration. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties.

According to a clinical trial, ingestion of 150 to 900mg doses of naringenin is safe in healthy adults, and serum concentrations are proportional to the dose administered. The recommended dosage for naringin extract is 500 mg once or twice a day or as instructed by a physician. There are no known side effects of naringin extract when taken in recommended doses. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements.

A study showed that naringin supplementation lowers plasma lipids and enhances erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activities in hypercholesterolemic subjects. Another study found that pretreatment with naringin ameliorated STZ-induced diabetic neuropathy and partially reversed the pain response.
