Function:
Synepherine is the main active compound found
in the fruit of Citrus aurantium, which is effective in providing the energy boost (caloric expenditure),aiding the expulsion of wind, warming the stomach, improving the appetite, and increasing metabolic rate. Citrus aurantium is theorized to stimulate fat metabolismwithout the negative cardiovascular side effects experienced by some people using Ma Huang. It is also a mild aromatic expectorant, a nervine and a laxation for constipation.

Dosage:
Standardized synephrine as Citrus Aurantium fruit extract is recommended. A dose of 4-20 mg of synephrine per day is a typical dose found in products providing 200-600 mg of a standardized citrus aurantium extract (3-6% synephrine).
Safety:
Both isolated synephrine and citrus aurantium extract have been shown to raise blood pressure in animal studies. Until more studies are conducted on the safety, pharmacology and efficacy of citrus aurantium as a thermogenic supplement, it should be treated as an ingredient with mild stimulant properties and should be avoided by individuals with cardiovascular concerns such as high blood pressure or heart problems. No toxicity is reported by oral ingestion. Handled at full strength, avoid contact with eyes or breathing the vapors.
