Benefits of Grapefruit Seed Extract | Citricidal

Grapefruit Seed Extract Description

NutriBiotic Maximum (Triple Strength) GSE® Liquid Concentrate is synthesized from the seed and pulp of organically grown grapefruit. The manufacturing process converts grapefruit bioflavonoids (polyphenolics) into a potent broad spectrum (anti pathogenic) compound. Pathogens are defined as infectious disease causing organisms. Pathogens such as (bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses) are capable of causing many types of diseases in humans and animals.

The greatest benefit of grapefruit seed extract is due to its broad spectrum anti pathogenic effect! Grapefruit seed extract remains effective even if the cause of an infection is unknown or misdiagnosed. Since we rarely know for sure the individual pathogen or mix of pathogens responsible for our infection. No other known compound can demonstrate such versatility.

How Does Grapefruit Extract Work?

According to studies, the activity of the active ingredient of grapefruit seed extract appears to develop in the cytoplasmic membrane of the microorganisms. The active ingredients of the extract disorganize the cytoplasmic membrane, thereby preventing the uptake of amino acids. At the same time, there is a leakage of the cellular contents with low molecular weight through the cytoplasmic membrane. The pathogen is then inactivated. The time for this is generally shorter than that of most comparable preparations.

Grapefruit seed extract does not allow germs to build up a resistance. To date there is no evidence that any type of organism has ever built up a resistance to grapefruit seed extracts active ingredient. Due to the mode of its activity it is believed that this resistance is impossible as grapefruit seed extract disrupts the organisms cytoplasmic membrane. What is not known is how GSE can affect the cell membranes of such a diverse group of microbes with virtually no toxicity toward human or animal life.

Grapefruit Seed Extract is Nontoxic

Grapefruit seed extract is mild in comparison to strong antibiotics that can destroy beneficial intestinal bacteria and deplete the immune system! Without these beneficial bacteria life could not be sustained. The beneficial bacteria can thrive much better after the harmful pathogens have been destroyed!

Extensive testing done at independent laboratories and universities around the world has proven the concentrate to be safe for human consumption. According to an independent laboratory testing "Acute Oral Toxicity", it would take at least 4,000 times the normal dose of gse to produce a 50% chance of poisoning (called LD50).

Because grapefruit seed extract does not exhibit the harsh side effects and high cost of pharmaceuticals it is becoming the alternative health choice for naturopathic physicians, clinics and the general public.

After 30 years in use by naturopathic physicians, clinics, veterinarians, and the general public grapefruit seed extract has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to strong medications that sometimes do more harm than good!

What is Grapefruit Seed Extract Used For?

Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is being used worldwide to successfully too treat hundreds of adverse health conditions in humans and animals alike. This has been proven in laboratories all over the world, and is supported by feedback from doctors, veterinarians, farmers and consumers. Grapefruit seed extract provides not only gastrointestinal and topical benefits, but systemic support as well.

Economical To Use

Grapefruit seed extract developes its anti pathogenic activity at very low concentrations (3-5 drops per dose). Because of this fact grapefruit seed extract is very economical to use. Each 1 oz bottle contains 900 drops with an average dose of 3-5 drops in 8 oz of water (3 times daily) for most health conditions.
