A natural extract from citrus fruits that adds flavor and a small dose of bioflavonoids.
No. Citrus extract refers to the broader range of compounds, including bioflavonoids. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a specific compound.
Plant compounds (hesperidin, naringenin, rutin) that support blood vessel health and have antioxidant properties.
Probably not for therapeutic effects. Check the label. If it's listed under 'flavoring,' you're getting milligrams, not hundreds of milligrams.

Check the cautions section if you have a pre-existing condition.
Some ingredients you feel. Others just work in the background.
Yes, and you should. Whole citrus fruits provide bioflavonoids, vitamin C, fiber, and many other compounds. Better than trace extract amounts.
Grapefruit compounds (naringenin) can interact with many medications. But the trace amounts in flavoring are too small to matter.
If you have citrus allergy, yes. Otherwise safe.
Most research uses 0.5g daily. Below 0.3g, you're probably wasting money. Above 2.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 20.0g.
Contains polyphenolic flavonoids (hesperidin, naringenin, limonene) that can scavenge free radicals and modulate inflammatory pathways at sufficient doses.
