These capsules are filled by hand with a manual machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure herbal extracts are in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their label! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still pack their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive.  Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment. Bitter Orange, also known as Neroli or Bigarade Orange, has been utilized in many ancient cultures to treat a large variety of health disorders. Today, bitter orange is still used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, headaches, and obesity. Only the peel of bitter orange (from which the extract is derived) has proven medicinal value. The peel contains flavones, carotenoids, and the alkaloids synephrine, octopamine and N-methyltyramine. Homeopathic practitioners use the peel to remedy both headaches and pain. In Latin America, the peel of the fruit is used to treat stomach aches and high blood pressure. Some cultures use bitter orange peel as an anti-spasmodic. In traditional oriental medicine, the bitter orange peel is used for indigestion, abdominal pain, constipation, and dysenteric diarrhea. However, this extract is primarily used as a stimulant. Bitter orange contains several chemical compounds (primarily synephrine) which are thermogenic, stimulate metabolic rate, and  increase calorie burning in the body - making it useful for those trying to lose weight.   Caution: Barlowe's 30% Synephrine Bitter Orange Extract  uses only the finest quality and most potent Bitter Orange Extract from the most trusted suppliers.
