How Citrus Antioxidants Change Your Body Chemistry

Citrus fruits contain polyphenols and antioxidants that directly affect body chemistry, including bodily fluids.

The antioxidant effect

Oxidative stress produces compounds that taste metallic and bitter. These are present in all bodily fluids. Citrus antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, hesperidin, and naringenin, neutralize these byproducts. Result: cleaner, fresher baseline taste.

The pH balancing effect

Despite being acidic naturally, citrus has an alkalizing effect once metabolized. Slightly alkaline semen tastes milder. Citrus shifts pH toward the sweeter end.

Synergy with bromelain

Bromelain breaks down bitter proteins. Citrus reduces oxidative bitterness. Together they address both protein-based and chemical-based causes of unpleasant taste, which is why our formula includes both.
