D. Gold announced new product, Dharmanol Citroline, (Dharmanol + D-Limonene). Limonene is named after lemon. Derived from peel of citrus. Studies indicate some anti-cancer activity..

D-limonene is a compound extracted from the peels of citrus fruits. Sold in dietary supplement form, D-limonene is said to offer a variety of health benefits. Some proponents claim that D-limonene can help treat or prevent cancer.

Uses for D-Limonene

D-limonene is purported to prevent and treat cancer by killing cancer cells.

In addition, D-limonene is said to promote weight loss, as well as treat bronchitis and heartburn. D-limonene is also thought to reduce inflammation.

Health Benefits of D-Limonene:

So far, few studies have tested the health effects of D-limonene. However, some preliminary studies suggest that it may offer certain benefits. Here's a look at some key findings from the available research on D-limonene:

Cancer

A number of preliminary studies published in the 1990s indicate that D-limonene may help fight cancer. In a research review published in Critical Reviews in Oncogenesis in 1994, for instance, researchers analyzed the available research on D-limonene and determined that it may help inhibit the growth of tumors and possibly protect against breast cancer .

More recent research on D-limonene and cancer includes a 2012 study from Human & Experimental Toxicology , in which tests on mice revealed that D-limonene may help protect against skin cancer in part by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress .

In addition, a 2012 study published in Life Sciences suggests that D-limonene may help fight colon cancer . In tests on human cells, the study's authors found that D-limonene may protect against colon cancer by inducing apoptosis (a type of programmed cell death essential for stopping the proliferation of cancer cells).

_{Widely available for purchase online, D-limonene supplements can be found in many natural-foods stores, drugstores, and stores specializing in dietary supplements.}
