Bitter orange is also known as the Seville orange after the city in Spain, although its origins lie in China. It has been found to be particularly effective in enabling you to lose weight. If you are seeking to burn off that fat around your belly, thighs and shoulders, then an extract from the bitter orange is ideal for you. Where people in the past would eat the whole fruit, vegetable or herb, there is no need for that today because modern technology can identify the phytochemicals responsible for the benefit offered by the plant which in turn enables those able to do so to isolate these substances in the form of a supplement.

Some supplements are merely a dried and ground form of the entire plant, and in the case of the bitter orange, either of these two approaches offers you the benefits that will enable you to lose weight rapidly. Seville oranges not only reduce your appetite, so that you eat less, but also increase your metabolic rate so that you burn fat faster. If you have a need for rapid weight or fat loss, then bitter orange extract is the perfect choice. Safe, natural and effective!

Bitter orange is a type of orange native to China, though named after Seville in Spain where it is commonly grown. It is a sour orange to eat, but excellent for other purposes, one of these being to increase your metabolic rate and so burn sugars and fats faster than normal. An added benefit of the bitter orange is that it tends to reduce your appetite, so not only do you eat less but you also burn off the calories in your food more rapidly. This in turn means that your normal daily exercise has more effect on your weight, because the energy required tends to come from your fat reserves rather than from the glucose generated from the carbohydrates in your diet.

Eating whole bitter oranges as a means of losing weight would appear to be a bit over the top, and bitter orange is available in the form of capsules that offer just the same thermogenic properties as the fruit itself does. If you have a need to lose fat quickly, then bitter orange is the way to do it because it stimulates your body to generate energy while also reducing your appetite.

Bitter orange is better known as the Seville orange, an orange with a bitter taste originating from China but also common to the areas around Seville in Spain. Its correct name is Lewis Citrus Aurantium, and it enables you to lose weight in two ways.

a) Bitter orange, whether you screw up your eyes and eat the fruit as you would a lemon or take it in the form of a capsule, will make you feel less like eating - it reduces your appetite and so you tend to consume fewer calories. It is what is known as an 'appetite suppressant'.

b) Bitter orange is also thermogenic, possessing the ability to increase your metabolic rate - the rate at which your body naturally uses up energy when you are at rest or even sleeping. Burn more energy then, and you will burn fat and lose weight at a significantly faster rate than if you simply depended upon dieting and eating fewer carbohydrates.

By taking bitter orange in any form, you will find it easier to lose weight and fatty tissue, and if you also exercise while doing so then you can direct that fat loss to targeted areas of your body, such as your thighs, stomach or arms - wherever you feel you are the biggest!

Bitter orange, another name for the small sour-tasting Seville orange, is commonly used by those with a desire to lose weight and reduce their body fat. It does so by increasing your metabolism and reducing your hunger, but what is it about this small bitter-tasting orange that makes it so effective in doing that?

In fact, bitter orange contains a range of phytochemicals in addition to the Vitamins C that you would expect of an orange - and its bitter taste indicates that it is not packed with sugars that could contribute to your levels of fatty tissue. It does, however, contain the adrenergic amines tyramine, octopamine and synephrine, in addition to flavonoid glycosides, beta-sitosterol and monoterpene hydrocarbons, mainly limonene.

Not only is this combination highly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce premature aging an heart disease, but the amines mentioned are similar in structure and function to the ephedrine alkaloids that are used to increase the metabolic rate, burn fat and help the body to use amino acids to build fresh muscle tissue. By taking a supplement of bitter orange, it is possible to replace fat with muscle and effect a permanent increase in your metabolic rate that enables a longer-lasting ability to lose fat and remain athletic and slim.

By using a supplement of bitter orange capsules you can lose weight safely and naturally. Bitter orange, better known in Europe as the Seville orange, a small orange with a bitter, sour taste, is a natural appetite suppressant and thermogenic metabolite due to the number of alkaloids, amines, limonene and glycosylated flavonoids contained in the fruit and its peel. This is an impressive range of phytochemicals, and we have yet to mention the Vitamins A, B1 and C, or the terpenoid antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Bitter orange is a very nutritious supplement even without its weight-reducing and fat-burning properties, but it is for those latter two properties that it has been traditionally used. By increasing your metabolic rate so that you burn up more calories even while resting, then bitter orange will enable you to rapidly use up the carbohydrate fuel in your diet. The thermogenic phytochemicals it contains then start work on burning your fat to provide the energy needed for your circulation system, breathing, digestion and the working of your brain and central nervous system.

All of these and more make up your metabolism, and if you increase the rate at which energy is used to enable these bodily functions to operate, then you will also increase the rate at which you burn fat, lose weight and build muscle tissue. Bitter orange can do this, and do it safely, which is why so many people use it.
