INGREDIENT

Grapefruit juice 100% (Citrus paradisi)

WARNING:

Grapefruit juice is an enzyme inhibitor and can interact with many drugs!
Grapefruit juice is an enzyme inhibitor and may increase plasma concentration for a number of drugs. Consumption of grapefruit juice should be avoided when administering drugs that are metabolized to cytochrome P450, unless a lack of drug interaction with grapefruit juice has already been demonstrated. Ask your doctor for more information about possible interactions between your treatment and grapefruit juice.

VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS

Grapefruit juice contains several compounds that may exert beneficial health effects. Grapefruit juice can be considered as an important dietary source of nutrients and antioxidant compounds, particularly flavonoids, anthocyanins and polyphenols. Consumption of grapefruit has also been associated with a considerable intake of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, dietary fiber and an improvement in diet quality.

Flavonoid

Citrus flavonoids may help reduce the risk or delay the onset of cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Hesperidin is a type of flavonoid with important pharmacological effects such as free radical neutralization and anti-inflammatory effect.

Antociani

Anthocyanins are the substances that give fruits and vegetables their purple, blue or red color. The health benefits of anthocyanins are recognized in the literature, in particular their importance in the prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is an orange pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A, which means that in the human body it is converted into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes, a well-functioning immune system and eye health.

Licopen

Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is recognized as a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been found to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer, diabetes mellitus, cardiac complications, oxidative stress-mediated dysfunction, inflammatory events, bone and skin diseases, liver, neuronal and reproductive disorders.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. The human body cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component obtained exclusively from food. In addition to its function in the biosynthesis of certain compounds and its antioxidant properties, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters and plays an important role in protein metabolism. Vitamin C is a physiologically important antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including vitamin E.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the human body. Magnesium is a cofactor for a multitude of enzyme systems that regulate various biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium contributes to the structural development of bones and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA and glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Magnesium also plays an important role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction and normal heart rhythm.

Potassium

Potassium is an important mineral for multiple functions in the human body, including proper functioning of the kidneys and heart, muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission. Potassium is present in all tissues of the body and is necessary for normal cell function due to its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume.

POSSIBLE BENEFITS

Antioxidant effect

In particular, pink and red grapefruit contain beta-carotene and lycopene, carotenoids that act as antioxidants. Research has found that including carotenoid-rich foods in the diet can reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers.

Immunostimulant effect

Grapefruit contains high amounts of vitamins A and C. Both help support the immune system.

Beneficial effect on blood sugar

Grapefruit has a low glycemic index. Foods with a low glycemic index do not raise blood glucose as quickly or as much as foods with a high glycemic index.

Anticarcinogenic effect

Grapefruit is a rich source of carotenoids, as well as vitamin C, which is an important antioxidant. Vitamin C helps prevent cell damage and some studies have linked high amounts of vitamin C with a reduced risk of cancer. In general, antioxidants help prevent cancer by preventing cell damage caused by free radicals.

Moisturizing effect

Grapefruit has a very high water content. One cup of chopped pink or red grapefruit contains 203 grams of water. The high water content can help prevent and relieve constipation, maintain body temperature and protect joints.

Anti-obesity effect

Eating grapefruit can help manage body weight and weight loss when integrated into a balanced and healthy diet. The fiber and water content in grapefruit is ideal for weight loss. One cup of grapefruit pulp with juice contains about 3.7 grams of fiber. The fiber in grapefruit helps you feel full. Grapefruit is also low in calories.

Toning and vitaminizing effect

Research has linked grapefruit consumption to improved diet quality by increasing nutrient intake. Grapefruit is an important source of nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and fiber. Half a red or pink grapefruit provides 100% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 35% of vitamin A.

Hypotensive effect

Grapefruit helps lower blood pressure thanks to its potassium content. Potassium helps neutralize the adverse effects of sodium and relaxes blood vessel walls.

Beneficial effect on skin and wound healing

Vitamin C in grapefruit helps produce collagen and stimulates dermal fibroblast production. Collagen is a protein that helps wounds heal. Dermal fibroblasts are cells that repair the skin after it has been damaged.

AFFECTIONS

Viral infections

Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses. There are several types of viral infections, including respiratory infections, gastric infections, herpes infections, skin infections and many others. The symptoms of a viral infection will depend on the part of the body affected and the virus contacted. Most viral infections go away on their own, but some infections can become severe and require treatment.

Cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other related conditions. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally.

Oncologic diseases (cancer)

Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow out of control and invade adjacent parts or spread to other organs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancers are the most common in women.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use the insulin it does produce efficiently. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, leads to serious damage to many systems and organs, especially nerves and blood vessels.

Astenie

Asthenia is a broad term describing general tiredness and weakness that causes both physical and mental symptoms.

Obese and overweight

Overweight and obesity is an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that poses a health risk. A body mass index greater than 25 means overweight and a body mass index greater than 30 indicates obesity.
