Naringin — A Citrus Flavonoid That Reduces Heart Disease Risk

7 minutes

Cardiovascular disease kills nearly 18 million people worldwide each year, but natural compounds like naringin in citrus fruits are showing strong protection for arteries and heart health
Naringin blocks ferroptosis, a deadly form of heart cell death during heart attacks, while silencing inflammation alarms to protect cardiac muscle under stress
Human trials show naringin improves cholesterol profiles, reduces arterial stiffness, and enhances overall cardiometabolic health within just 90 days of consistent intake from citrus sources
Beyond the heart, citrus flavonoids improve insulin sensitivity, lower harmful cholesterol, reduce belly fat, and stabilize blood sugar, offering metabolic benefits against obesity and diabetes
Naringin also protects the liver from drug-induced damage and slows tumor growth in cancers like breast, lung, and colon by restoring cell self-destruction and cutting tumor blood supply
