What is naringin?
Citrus paradisi 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.
Naringin is a type of flavonoid, a water-soluble pigment, found in grapefruits. By itself, naringin has little nutritional value, other than being responsible for giving grapefruit its bitter flavor, and possibly enhancing one's sense of taste. As a dietary supplement, however, naringin has a wide range of benefits.
Naringin appears to interfere with the activity of several enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of certain nutrients in the intestines, along with many types of drugs, resulting in higher levels of those substances in the blood. As such, naringin is used to enhance the effectiveness and increase the half-life of several supplements and related substances, such as caffeine.
