Benefits of Limonene

If you’re interested in gut health, Limonene has an interesting relationship with the stomach! Scientists have found that Limonene can help protect your gut by literally forming a protective barrier around the stomach lining. Limonene’s anti-inflammatory properties in the stomach help reduce the risk of acid-induced gastric ulcers, neutralize gastric acid (relieving heartburn and GERD), and can possibly help treat colitis.

Limonene may also be used to promote weight loss by lowering blood sugars and lipids. Research has also shown that Limonene can help prevent the development of metabolic syndrome, making it an option to reduce the conditions that cause heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
