Naringenin

Enjoy Naringenin

Enjoy naringenin found in highly alkaline citrus fruits.

Naringenin, a new treatment for ADPKD?

Naringenin in citrus fruit and in melons, can it possibly be a new useful treatment for PKD kidney cysts? It can reduce kidney cysts. More research is needed. Keep drinking that hot lemon, freshly made orange juice and lime juices. All citrus fruits contain naringenin.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit seeds is the most element found for naringenin. Oftentimes many medications are interfered with by taking grapefruit: immunosuppressive drugs, anti cholesterol drugs, blood pressure lowering medication. Check with your physician or pharmacist before taking citrus.

Fresh Orange Juice and Water With a Citrus Slice Beneficial

Freshly prepared orange juice is also high in naringenin or have a slice of lemon or lime in your daily water. This can help decrease cyst growth by naringenin intake and drinking enough water to shut down vasopressin. Caution some citrus, like oranges, are high in potassium.

Citrus Fruit Naringenin Could Prevent PKD Cysts

Naringenin is one of the most abundant citrus bioflavonoids. A team of scientists in England has found that naringenin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound in grapefruit, oranges and tomatoes, could be the basis for a promising new treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Using a single-celled amoeba, they found that naringenin inhibits PKD cysts by regulating levels of the PKD2 protein (also known as polycystin-2) in kidney cells. It is estimated that 10% of new PKD cases are caused by mutations of the PKD2 gene, which encodes polycystin-2. The researchers will continue to investigate the connection between naringenin and polycystin-2 and their impact on cyst formation.

Naringenin helps many conditions, including ADPKD kidneys

↓ uric acid
↓ strokes in women
↓ kidney cysts
↓ retinal (eye) injury
↓ xenoestrogen exposure
↓ oxidative stress
Protects against the effects of a high fat diet
Inhibit in vitro growth of in human cancer cells
Anti-oxidant and anti-tumor activity

Melon Rind Contains Naringenin

Naringenin chalcone, a yellow flavonoid pigment previously unknown to occur in melons, has been identified as the major fruit colorant in mature melon rinds. Naringenin chalcone is also prominent in other melon types, occurring together with Carotenoids (mainly ß-carotene) and Chlorophyll. Continue enjoying citrus fruits; if citrus presents a problem, try smooth skinned melons.
