Grapefruit itself is also useful for weight loss, because it contains a minimum of calories and a maximum of vitamins and minerals.

Grapefruit 100%
Not so long ago, scientists found that grapefruit seeds and membranes contain active substances – bioflavonoids, which protect the fruit from bacteria, viruses and fungi. They are carriers of the most useful properties of the fruit, since it is the seeds that are the repository of the genetic material of the plant, reliably protected by nature itself.
Therefore, even with the regular use of grapefruit, not all bioflavonoids are absorbed by the human body, since for obvious reasons we do not use the peel, seeds and membranes.
To fix this, in the 80s of the twentieth century, scientists began to make extracts from grapefruit seeds and pulp, and produce a 33% extract based on them. In pharmacies, this extract can be found under the name.
By the way, today citrus bioflavonoids can be bought as an independent remedy, for example, Hesperidin, a venotonic drug or antispasmodic Quercetin. But why spend extra money if these substances are already included in the composition.
Citrosept® has both antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity. This provides him with a multifaceted healing effect for colds. At the same time, there is no such complication as dysbacteriosis.
The drug strengthens blood vessels and lowers cholesterol levels, helps with fungal diseases, and also helps to strengthen the immune system.
Chinese scientists have proven that procyanidins present in grapefruit seeds have anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, anti-allergic effects, inhibit the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation on the skin, that is, block the synthesis of free radicals. Their experiments confirmed that the topical application of grapefruit extract significantly limits the growth of neoplasms on the skin.
Due to the greater content of the flavanoid naringenin than in the pulp, Citrosept® is effective for weight loss. Canadian scientists have discovered that it is in the bitter seeds of grapefruit that there are substances that cause the liver to burn fats, and not accumulate them.
5-10 drops of Citrosept®, dissolved in a glass of warm water, can compensate for the body’s lack of vitamins and minerals during fasting or diet. And 45 drops a day completely reduce hunger and cravings for sweets. So, losing weight is now very pleasant.
Why is it more convenient to take than just eating grapefruit? Of course, because of the concentration of nutrients. 10 drops of Citrosept extract contain as many active substances as 15 kg of grapefruit. Not everyone can eat that much, even to maintain health. Take care of yourself and be healthy!
