Bitter orange for :Stimulate metabolic rate |
|
Bitter orange has the ability to bind to a specific subgroup of B cell receptors called B-3 receptors. This binding effect causes an increase in the rate at which fat is released from body stores for energy production, and increases the resting metabolic rate. It has been added to herbal weight-loss formulas as a replacement for epinephrine. Bitter orange should not be used with cocaine, codeine, or other narcotic pain relievers, since the combination can cause irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure. It should be used with caution during pregnancy and in cases of low energy. It has been reported to have a contraceptive effect. Bitter orange can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, especially for fair-skinned individuals. Bitter orange is available from Asian food markets and Chinese pharmacies. It is best used as a tea. While no clinical trials have substantiated the effectiveness of bitter orange as weight loss supplement, it appears to be effective in combination with St. John's wort and caffeine. Phyllis A.
