Naringin

Naringin, (a flavonoid compound found in grapefruit) gives grapefruit its characteristic bitter flavor. This is an ingredient appearing in some new fat loss formulas (mainly to increase the effects of caffeine in these products). This ingredient can increase the half life (thereby lowering clearance rate) of some supplements by interfering with enzymatic activity in the intestines. One caution is to avoid this ingredient with prescription medicines as it can prolong their effects. A good dose is 100 mg taken 2-3 times daily with caffeine containing products.
