Citrus Aurantium Weight Loss and Health Benefits
Studies show that citrus aurantium increases the body's resting metabolic rate and encourages the release of stored fat for energy production. What makes this botanical so unique is that it appears to increase thermogenesis without stimulating the central nervous system. As a result, it encourages the body to burn calories at a faster rate without creating a feeling of nervousness or "jitters."
Botanical Name: Citrus Aurantium
Citris aurantium is the traditional Chinese medicine name for the immature, unripe fruit of a citrus family plant (tree) called Citrus Aurantium, also known in other parts of the world as bitter orange, green orange, sour orange, or Seville orange. It's natural habitat is India and China, but it is cultivated in Spain and Madeira. Extracts of this fruit are also marketed under the brand name Advantra Z. This fruit is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, and contains other substances that facilitate weight loss and additional healthy benefits.
How Citrus Aurantium Works
Zhi Shi contains synephrine, tyramine, octopamine, hordenine and n-methyltyramine. These constituents, especially the active ingredient synephrine, act as a mild stimulant that boosts the metabolic rate, expends calories and increases energy. This stimulation of the fat metabolism does not have negative cardiovascular or central nervous system effects, since only the beta-3 receptors are stimulated, without affecting the other alpha and beta receptors related to heart rate and blood pressure. The substances tyramine and octopamine play an important role in controlling and suppressing the appetite. This combined thermogenisis makes this herb a safe and effective weight loss aid.
