Standardized Botanical Extracts and Phytonutrients CITRUS AURANTIUM Family:- Rutaceae General Description It is known as Bitter Orange, that come from Southeast Asia. Active Principle The main active principles are Synephrine and Octopamine Clinical Uses Increases metabolic rate Increases caloric expenditure Fat burner Promotes weight loss Advantages Extracts from Citrus aurantium contain a rare combination of five adrenergic amines: synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamine, and tyramine. These amines stimulate beta-3 cell receptors with minimal effect on other alpha and beta receptors. This could indicate that Citrus aurantium increases metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure. Stimulation of these beta-3 receptors elicits the breakdown of fat. Simultaneously, this stimulation causes an increase in the metabolic rate - thermogenesis - which burns calories. Citrus aurantium may also act as an appetite suppressant. It is water soluble.
