Use

Limonin is a triterpenoid enriched in citrus fruits, which has antivirus and antitumor ability. Limonin is a phytonutrient found in most citrus fruits. Natural sources of limonin include oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. Within the fruit it is attached to a sugar and the combined molecule is called limonin glucoside.Limonin is what remains after our bodies cleave a glucose, or sugar molecule, from limonin's parent compound, limonin glucoside. Limonin glucoside is present in citrus and citrus juices in about the same amount as vitamin C. The good news is limonin has shown to have exceptional health benefits in humans and other animals. It seems to be able to help reduce the development and growth of cancers. It also has the effect of lowering cholesterol in the blood stream. In 2000, Manners, Hasegawa, and their Canadian co-authors reported that limonin may be among the citrus-juice compounds that lower cholesterol. In lab tests, they found that human liver cells produced less apo Ba compound associated with higher cholesterol levelswhen exposed to limonin.
