Description

Natural Orange Peel Oil

Jarrow Formulas d-Limonene is a citrus essential oil that stimulates the liver's Phase I and Phase II detoxifying enzyme systems and supports normal immune function. Jarrow Formulas d-Limonene is steam-distilled from orange peel and is purified to be food grade. d-Limonene is the major constituent of several citrus essential oils (orange, lemon and lime), and naturally occurs in citrus juices.

D-Limonene is a compound known as 'lemon extract' and is found in high levels in lemon juices.

It itself, as well as its related product known as 'perillic acid', are known to be anti-carcinogenic (cancer fighting) and liver healthy. Consumption of D-Limonene in either supplemental form or as freshly squeezed and pulp-containing lemonade has been shown to reduce the formation of some tumor growths and alleviate fat buildup in the liver induced by diet.

Although commercial juices tend to have low levels of D-Limonene, freshly squeezed 'Mediterranean Style' juice with the pulp has high levels of it.

Curiocity Lifestyle's Comment:

Am currently consuming Jarrow Formula's D-Limonene. Apparently it is good for people who may have acid-reflux.

Initially, when I came across D-Limonene, I was curious and started to research about it and so decided to consume it as a trial to see how it goes.

What's in my mind? I love natural toiletries, especially products with essential oils. Yup, citrus essential oil is one of them. Bergamot, lemon and orange oils. Lets see the benefits of orange oil, shall we?

Orange Essential Oil Benefits (external apllication):

Antispasmodic

Aphrodisiac

Anti-inflammatory

Cholagogue

Antiseptic

Antidepressant

Tonic

Carminative

Insecticide

Other Benefits

It serves as a detoxifier, boosts immunity, treats constipation and dyspepsia and is very good for maintaining healthy, smooth and glamorous skin. It also helps to cure acne and dermatitis.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So much goodness for external application, so I cannot imagine when cosuming it internally.

Anyway, wisdom suggest...too much of anything can turn out negative. Therefore, I consume D-Limonene for 5 days and off 2 days. Thank You. :)

Citicoline for brain?

CDP-choline is a Nootropic compound that is essentially a prodrug for both Choline and Uridine, conferring both of those molecules to the body following oral ingestion of CDP-Choline. Specifically, the CDP-choline dissociates into choline and cytidine, with the cytidine then converting into uridine. CDP-choline is one of the three choline-containing phospholipids that can be orally supplemented (the other two being Alpha-GPC and Phosphatidylcholine).

This supplement is catered towards preventing or treating memory impairments associated with aging due to the fact that both of the molecules it confers are neuroprotective and potentially enhance learning. While it appears to be more effective than phosphatidylcholine (PC) at this role, in part due to also increasing PC synthesis in the brain, its potency is somewhat comparable to that of Alpha-GPC.

CDP-choline has some other potential uses in relation to cognition. It is commonly used as a memory enhancer in youth, but despite some rodent studies suggesting that this is possible with oral CDP-choline, there are no human studies in youth at this point in time. One study has noted an increase in attention with low dose CDP-choline (which needs to be replicated), and CDP-choline may have roles as an anti-addictive compound against both cocaine and (preliminary evidence suggests) food as well. - Examine.com
