(Citrus Aurantium Extract (Synephrine)) is a botanical extract derived from Citrus aurantium (bitter orange) fruit/peel, standardized to Synephrine. With CAS registry number 94-07-5, this ingredient belongs to the Fat Oxidation & Thermogenesis category of weight management actives. Synephrine stimulates β-3 adrenergic receptors → lipolysis + thermogenesis. Unlike ephedrine (banned 2004), synephrine has minimal β-1/β-2 activity, increasing fat burning without significantly raising heart rate or blood pressure. This selective β-3 mechanism replaced ephedrine as the primary thermogenic agent after the FDA ban. As a B2B manufacturer, Shaanxi Baisifu Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. supplies Citrus Aurantium Extract (Synephrine) in bulk quantities with full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring consistent Synephrine content and regulatory compliance for dietary supplement, functional food, and nutraceutical applications.

This selective β-3 mechanism replaced ephedrine as the primary thermogenic agent after the FDA ban.
Level III (controversial). Stohs & Shara (2013) found p-synephrine alone increases metabolic rate without significant cardiovascular effects. However, FDA adverse event reports link Citrus aurantium+caffeine products to elevated BP and rare myocardial infarction. Regulatory scrutiny varies by jurisdiction.
⚠Moderate cardiovascular risk. FDA warnings for C. aurantium+caffeine combinations. ≤30 mg synephrine/day alone appears safe. Caffeine combination significantly increases BP/HR risk. Restricted/banned in some EU countries.

Q1: Is Synephrine the same as Ephedrine?
No. Synephrine preferentially activates β-3 (fat burning) with minimal β-1/β-2 (heart rate/BP). Ephedrine activates all β-receptors and was banned by FDA in 2004 for cardiovascular risk.
Q2: What is the safe dosage?
≤30 mg synephrine/day alone. Do not combine with caffeine >150 mg. 6% extract delivers ~6 mg per 100 mg extract.
Q3: Can Synephrine be sold in the EU?
Varies by member state. Some allow ≤30 mg/day (UK, Netherlands), others restrict/ban (France, Germany). Check target market regulations.
For complementary weight management formulations, consider combining Citrus Aurantium Extract (Synephrine) with: Green Tea Extract, Capsaicin, 6-Paradol, Forskolin. Multi-ingredient stacks targeting different mechanisms (lipase inhibition, AMPK activation, thermogenesis, appetite suppression) produce synergistic effects superior to single-ingredient products.
