Key Benefits for Digestive Health
A healthy gut is the foundation of good digestion and immune function. Grapefruit seed extract helps maintain a balanced microflora in the intestines, promoting digestive comfort and regularity.*
The flavonoids in grapefruit seed extract, including naringin and hesperidin, are potent antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage. This combined action of microbial support and antioxidant protection makes it a valuable addition to your daily routine.
Regular use may help reduce occasional bloating and digestive upset, whilst individual experiences vary. For best results, incorporate this supplement alongside a diet rich in fibre and fermented foods.*
What Is Grapefruit Seed Extract?
Grapefruit seed extract is a concentrated substance derived from the seeds and pulp of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). It is traditionally used to support a healthy balance of micro-organisms in the gut. Each capsule of Pure Encapsulations Grapefruit Seed Extract delivers 100 mg of extract standardised to 40% flavonoids—bioactive compounds that contribute to its beneficial effects.
The extraction process isolates the active components while maintaining their potency, offering a natural option for digestive health support.
Ingredients and Why They Work
The sole active ingredient is grapefruit seed extract (100 mg per capsule, 40% flavonoids). Flavonoids are plant compounds that support the body’s natural defences and contribute to gut health.*
Grapefruit seed extract is known for its ability to support a healthy microbial balance without harming beneficial bacteria. This selective action helps preserve the gut’s natural ecology. The extract is encapsulated in a vegetarian capsule (hypromellose) with no artificial colours or preservatives.
Each batch is tested for potency and purity, ensuring consistent quality from bottle to bottle.
