kidney.silymarin Silybin has also been tested in animals for its ability to protect the kidney from damage due to drugs such as the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. Results of this research were promising and should be confirmed by clinical studies in humans.
Silybin reduces oxidative damage to kidney cells in vitro. In rats, silybin prevented cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity, but did not prevent cyclosporine-induced glomerular damage except for lipid peroxidation.
What Is Citrus Aurantium Extract?
Citrus aurantium, also known as Bitter Orange or Seville Orange, is a plant used for medicinal purposes in China, South America, India and North America. The leaves, flowers, dried fruit and dried peel are all used for aiding stomach ailments, constipation and supporting the nervous system. Currently, citrus aurantium is used in many weight loss products.
Weight Loss
Citrus aurantium contains the plant chemical, synephrine, which is similar to epinephrine in its chemical structure, and is the reason citrus aurantium has been used in weight loss products after Ephedra was taken off the market. Synephrine stimulates the nervous system, and is used to decrease appetite.
Digestion
Citrus aurantium is used in herbal medicines as a general digestive tonic and can be prescribed for indigestion, constipation, low stomach acid, nausea, flatulence and stomach cramps.
Essential Oil
Citrus aurantium is one of many plants that can be used for the extraction of Orange Blossom oil and Orange Flower water. It also can be found under the name Neroli petalae, though it is far less fragrant than true Neroli oil.
