D-limonine, I forgot how beneficial it can be

One of those odd supplements that can work wonders for the digestive tract. I used to take this on a regular basis, primarily for acid reflux about 15 years ago and then tapered off to probably only using it one week per year now. (2009 was 15 years ago(!),….what?).

It can heal a partially acid burnt LES valve with its protective light coat of citrus oil. Its noted for doing great things for the liver and gallbladder as well.

Can also lower blood pressure and glucose. Good for cholesterol. Somewhat anti-microbial, at least against staph and a few others. Plus improved sleep and serotonin levels have been reported with this supplement.

Since my overall health seemed so much better back when I took this on a regular basis, I’m going take it again every night (then every other night, ) for a while and see what it does.

The most popular and affordable brand of this from Jarrow kept on increasing in price, and then was eventually discontinued about two years ago, but there are other brands , and some fairly new brands like orange burps, on Amazon.

There is also a directly related powder form of it that I’ve never tried which “Georgia Hunter” mentions in this post:

i am interested to try this for general gut protective effects and if it helps sleep that would be great too

did a quick google for sources:

this source might be of interest to you Astro
says 100% D-limonene food grade and very affordable

swanson seems a pretty reliable but cost effective brand for many supplements and they have a product called D-Limonene - the label on the front say orange peel extract - but the detailed info on the back says its also pure -D-limonene - showing out of stock on the UK site - but due back in stock this month

i hope its of some help

As a fellow Reflux guy, what dosages of lemonine do you Take?

I have tried it but still wasnt able to get fully rid of my pantoprazole (even though i was Able to Go from 40mg to 20mg)

I have the Swanson one and IT says 1 Cap per day.

I used the Jarrow brand years ago, it was originally 1000mg, then it was changed to 500mg,....and I took it just before bed when not moving around to avoid the citrus burps.

Then when it was discontinued, so I used and still have the 500mg by Swanson (or maybe its only 250mg? (old bottle)). . For reflux I then took two.

For general health use today, I will try just taking one (250 or 500mg forget) per bed time.

I have not googled it till now, I see Amazon has quite a variety. Some are very $$ though.

I've never tried any liquid versions. Maybe I will. Just need to make sure it says "food safe" vs the industrial cleanser type of D-limonine liquid.

I just assumed the liquid stuff would "burn" your throat on the way down..? (apparently not?). Hmm....

Re: swallowing the liquid form, I added a drop to a bit of water and drank it. No burning at all. I was very careful to purchase one that was food safe, as I would rather not take my chances with the kind used as an industrial solvent! That one probably would burn. ;)
