Orange Citrus x aurantium
Hawaii Pharm
Overview
This liquid supplement contains bitter orange peel extract, primarily known for its synephrine content. While some research suggests potential benefits for weight management and athletic performance by increasing fat oxidation, the effects are not consistently significant. The absence of standardized synephrine concentrations and limited long-term studies make the overall effectiveness uncertain. Additionally, more studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of dry bitter orange peel extract in liquid form.
