I was excited to read that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says d-limonene, an oil nutrient found in lemons and other citrus fruit, has cholesterol-dissolving properties. And even more excited to read at Wellness.com that it not only aids digestion, but reduces appetite and improves metabolism.
Wow! Now I don’t want to be greedy, but gimme, gimme, gimme!

As a health compound, [d-limo nene] has shown a wonderful ability to help with a variety of health issues …
- It is a unique fat cleanser and helps clear cholesterol sludge including the sludge in the gall bladder that can form stones.
- Another aspect of cleansing assistance is that it also helps liver detoxification enzymes.
- Its calming properties help settle anxiety and therefore can be used as a natural sleep aid.
- It helps reduce appetite and improve metabolism, making it one more nutrient to assist with healthy weight management
D-Limonene is a type of terpene called a monoterpene. A person consuming 1 – 2 servings of citrus per day is likely to get 15 – 40 mg of d-Limonene; if the peels are consumed in some way this level may rise to 50 – 90 mg.
If you intend to eat the skin then be sure to buy organic fruit and if you cannot then wash the skins really well. At the very least buy unwaxed fruit.
