Functions:
Scavenging free radicals and antioxidant: Grapefruit Extract (GSE) has very high amounts of disease-fighting, free-radical eliminating antioxidants and phytonutrients called bioflavonoids. One of these powerful bioflavanoids (plant antioxidants) include the chemical component hesperidin, a well-known natural immune-system stimulator and booster.
Inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer: Chemical analysis of grapefruit seed extract shows additional antioxidant constituents including Vitamin C, sterols, tocopherols, citric acid, liminoids, and other trace minerals. Studies done on the compounds in GSE's seed and pulp have found that these bioactive agents may be able to inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer.
Anti-bacteria: The commonly-used disinfectant have high levels of toxicity and are harmful to humans, animals and the environment. A recent study done by Microbiologists from the University of Georgia found that GSE was a very effective non-toxic disinfectant. The same study found that GSE demonstrates a "wide spectrum of activity, " including antiviral, antimycotic, and antiprotozoan capacities against many bacteria and viruses, including E. Coli. It was also found to be an effective cleanser as a a presurgical soap. Another recent study from The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that grapefruit-seed extract was effective in killing over "800 bacterial and viral strains, 100 strains of fungus, and a large number of single and multi-celled parasites. "² No other naturally-occuring anti-microbial can come close to these results.
Treatment of thrush: Thrush is a fungal infection, commonly affecting newborns and persons with immuno-compromised systems. Grapefruit seed extract, apart from possessing immune system bolstering vitamin c, is a proven anti-fungal as well. As thrush is considered an infection localized mainly to the mouth, a good GSE mouth rinse should do the trick in rectifying symptoms. Within four days symptoms should be resolved completely.
