Description:
The immature bitter orange ( Citrus aurantium ) has been used for thousands of years in ancient Chinese medicine.
The principal active ingredients of the extract are synephrine and N-methyltyramine, which can stimulate the heart and make the blood vessels contract. This raises the blood pressure, expands trachea and bronchi, resists thrombo-embolia, and improves the smooth muscle of blood vessels. Clinically, it has been used for weak hearts, bronchitis patients, and drops in blood pressure during operation or anesthesia.
