Description
Citrus aurantium extract, derived from bitter orange, is primarily used for its synephrine content, a stimulant marketed for weight loss and performance enhancement. While it may modestly increase thermogenesis and lipolysis, its effectiveness is often limited and synergistic with other stimulants. The use of Citrus aurantium carries significant risks, including elevated blood pressure, anxiety, and potential cardiovascular complications, particularly when combined with other stimulants or in susceptible individuals. Careful dosage consideration and consultation with a healthcare professional are crucial before use.
Dosage Information
