Research
Research on Grapefruit Seed Extract
Grapefruit seed extract has been studied for its antimicrobial, antioxidant and cleansing properties. Interest in grapefruit seed extract focuses on the naturally occurring plant compounds found within grapefruit seeds and pulp.
Antimicrobial Properties
Laboratory research has investigated grapefruit seed extract for activity against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts and fungi.
Researchers believe this activity may relate to naturally occurring citrus bioflavonoids, polyphenols and acidic compounds present in grapefruit seed and pulp extracts.
Digestive and Travel Support
Citricidal has traditionally been used to support digestive balance, particularly while travelling or during periods of dietary disruption.
Grapefruit seed extract remains popular as part of many natural travel kits.
Antioxidant Activity
Grapefruit and citrus extracts naturally contain antioxidant compounds, including flavonoids and vitamin C related compounds, which help protect plant tissues from oxidative damage.
External and Household Uses
When properly diluted, grapefruit seed extract has traditionally been used externally in mouthwashes, facial cleansers and household cleaning solutions.
