Grapefruit seed extract - 500 mg per daily dose (1 capsule) - 120 capsules

Concentrated, unadulterated citrus power

The grapefruit seed extract capsules from Unimedica contain pure grapefruit extract in a vegan cellulose shell. This citrus fruit is valued for its intense bitter compounds and its fruity, slightly tart aroma. The extract is obtained exclusively from the grapefruit seeds, in which the natural bioflavonoids – secondary plant compounds – are most highly concentrated. The capsules contain no additional additives.

Rich in bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are natural components of many plants. They perform protective functions against external influences and affect taste, colour and aroma. In human nutrition they are regarded as valuable plant-derived components. In grapefruit, typical secondary plant substances such as bitter compounds and micronutrients are particularly concentrated – especially in the parts that are rarely eaten: the seed and the peel. Our grapefruit seed extract capsules provide an easy way to benefit from the special plant compounds of grapefruit.

Bioflavonoids in other foods

Besides grapefruit, bioflavonoids also occur in other citrus fruits, berries and vegetables.

What is grapefruit extract used for?

Unimedica's grapefruit seed extract offers a practical, simple way to specifically supplement the diet with the unique secondary plant compounds of the bitter-sweet-sour grapefruit. The capsule provides an alternative for those who do not regularly eat the tart fruit but do not want to miss out on its valuable constituents.

What exactly is a grapefruit?

The grapefruit is the fruit of a subtropical tree and belongs to the citrus family. It is a hybrid of orange and pomelo. The fruit is also called Adam's apple or paradise apple. The English name grapefruit refers to the way the fruits (fruit) hang on the tree like grapes (grape) on vines. The fruits can have either pale yellow or red flesh, are large and thick-skinned, and have a bitter note. The origin of the hybrid is thought to be Barbados, from where the plants spread to Florida and then to subtropical regions worldwide. Today, most grapefruits for commercial trade are supplied by China and Vietnam.

Each jar of Unimedica grapefruit seed extract contains 120 capsules. That corresponds to a four-month supply.
