This formula combines three concentrated plant extracts —grapefruit seeds,echinaceaAndblack elderberry— traditionally used for their benefits on immunity and respiratory comfort. Bioflavonoids from grapefruit seeds, polyphenols from echinacea, and anthocyanins from black elderberry are traditionally used to support natural defenses and help maintain general well-being, particularly during times of fatigue or stress.

This vegan and eco-responsible complex is ideal for getting through the cold seasons while preserving your vitality.

Bienfaits

✅Support for natural defenses: LisBioflavonoids and glycosides from grapefruit seeds help maintain a healthy intestinal balance. The intestine, recognized as an essential component of the immune system, plays a key role in the body's natural protection. Furthermore, echinacea is traditionally used to support the proper functioning of the immune system, particularly during cold weather.

✅Soothes the respiratory tract: Echinacea is traditionally used to help soothe the throat and pharynx in cases of irritation or temporary respiratory discomfort. It helps maintain a feeling of comfort in the upper respiratory tract. Black elderberry is also traditionally used to support upper respiratory health. It contributes to respiratory comfort during cold weather or in cases of temporary discomfort.

✅Protection of cells against external attacks: Rich in polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, black elderberry is traditionally used to protect cells from external aggressions. These compounds help maintain the natural functions of cells, which are particularly vulnerable during times of stress or fatigue.

✅Highly concentrated extracts: The extracts present inCitrotonic Bioare carefully selected for their quality and concentration. Grapefruit seed extract has a 4:1 ratio, guaranteeing a high concentration of bioflavonoids. Echinacea, grown in France, offers a 5:1 ratio, with a 20% polyphenol titration. Finally, black elderberry, with a 16:1 ratio, guarantees a richness in anthocyanins and polyphenols, providing optimal natural support.

Grapefruit vs. Grapefruit Seeds: What are the Risks of Interactions?

Grapefruit and its seeds differ significantly in chemical composition, which explains why grapefruit juice can interfere with certain medications, while seed extracts, used in dietary supplements, do not exhibit the same interactions.

‍

🍊 Grapefruit: a fruit that can modify the effect of medications

Grapefruit juice contains compounds called furocoumarins, such as bergamottin and dihydroxybergamottin, which can affect the metabolism of certain medications. These substances work by inhibiting an enzyme called CYP3A4, found in the liver and intestines, which helps break down certain medications so they can be eliminated from the body.

⚠️ When this enzyme is blocked, the concentration of certain medications in the blood can increase, leading to an increased risk of side effects or an unpredictable increase in their action. This is why healthcare professionals often recommend avoiding grapefruit juice during certain treatments.

🌰Grapefruit seeds: a safer alternative

Grapefruit seeds differ chemically from juice or pulp. They are primarily composed of bioflavonoids (such as naringin, hesperidin, and quercetin), antioxidants, and limonoids, but contain very little, if any, furocoumarins, the compounds responsible for drug interactions.

Grapefruit seed extracts used in dietary supplements are obtained through specific extraction processes, which aim to concentrate the beneficial active substances, while eliminating problematic compounds, such as furocoumarins.

✅ These extracts, when consumed in the recommended doses, have not been associated with an action on the CYP3A4 enzyme (responsible for the breakdown of certain drugs). They therefore do not present a known risk of interaction with drugs. However, it is important to use them as part of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.

‍

👀Let's stay vigilant

Although seed extracts are considered safe, it is recommended to follow certain precautions:

  • Space their intake away from any sensitive medication to minimize the risk of potential interaction.
  • Consult a healthcare professional if you are taking medical treatment or if in doubt.

Conseils d'utilisation

Précautions d'emploi

  • Keep out of reach of young children to avoid the risk of accidental ingestion.

  • Store away from heat, in a dry place, to preserve the quality of the ingredients.

  • As a precaution, individuals taking statins, anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, or other drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme are advised to consult a healthcare professional prior to use.
