Description:
Limonin is the first described limonoid, which are naturally occurring tetranortriterpenoids that impart bitter flavor in citrus fruits. Compounds belonging to this group have reported anti-proliferative and proapoptotic activity on several cancer cell lines as well as pesticidal, anti-malarial, anti-microbial, and anti-HIV activity.There is evidence that limonin enhances the "accumulation and efficacy of chemotherapy agents". This is important in that it increases the ability of chemotheraputic drusgs to do their job on ancers while at the same time helping to limit the damage to healthy tissues.Cholesterol is a major factor in heart disease. Limonin inhibits the production of choesterol in the liver, helping to reduce problems with the circulatory system, especially clogged arteries. One of the great benefits of limonin is its long lasting presence in the blood stream. While many phytonutrients will be washed out of the circulatory system within a few hours, limonin reaches its peak in six hours and is still present as long as twenty-four hours later. This is a huge benefit because supplementation of limonin would not have to occur multiple times per day in order to be effective against types of cancer that must be continually suppressed.
