ABOUT GRAPEFRUIT EXTRACT

Citrus paradisi, also known as grapefruit, is a hybrid citrus fruit. Pomelo and sweet orange, the grapefruit's two ancestors -- the x in the botanical name indicates hybridization.
 
Grapefruits contain bioflavonoids, which are similar to those in oranges. Naringin, however, is the flavonoid that both (1) contributes to grapefruit's distinct bitter taste, and (2) explains why grapefruit extract is used instead of another citrus extract.
 
In addition to flavonoids, naringin is also a polyphenol, a large group of compounds found in plants.
