Product Overview: What is Naringenin?
Naringenin is a naturally occurring flavanone, a highly bioactive sub-classification of flavonoids. Predominantly found in grapefruit (Citrus Grandis L.) as well as a variety of other citrus fruits and botanicals, naringenin is celebrated for its potent biological activities. In its purified form, it presents as a flavorless and colorless to white/off-white fine powder.
Our Naringenin 98% extract provides manufacturers with a highly concentrated active compound, ensuring maximum efficacy and predictable results in end-use applications without the interference of unwanted phytochemical byproducts.
