Bitter Orange for Weight Control

Why Use

Bitter Orange

Why Do Dieters Use It?*

Some dieters say that bitter orange helps increase calorie burning and suppress appetite.

What Do the Advocates Say?*

Bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) contains several substances known to stimulate metabolic rate, which should increase calorie burning. While no published research has tested it alone, it appears to be effective in combination with St. John’s wort and caffeine.
