Grapefruit contains a flavonoid called naringenin that has been associated with causing issues when eaten while on some pharmaceutical drugs. This is not the case with CanXida supplements.

"I cannot eat grapefruit because of my medications, but can I still take CanXida?" Of course you can. There's no problem at all and I'll tell you why. 

Grapefruit is certainly linked with certain types of pharmaceutical drugs. There are certain kinds of antidepressants, chemotherapy medications, and various other types of drugs that will clash with grapefruit. I've done a video previously on this and explained exactly the reason why. Grapefruit is a citrus fruit that contains a flavonoid. Flavonoids are a kind of vitamin C like compound. But this flavonoid, in particular, is called Naringenin and Naringenin can create some issues in the liver with certain types of drugs, so it upregulates the function of the drug. It makes it harder for the liver to excrete the drug, so the drug stays longer in the body. 

This is particularly so with certain anti-depressants and you'll clearly see a label on the container saying "don't take with grapefruit." With chemotherapy drugs, in some countries, they actually use it to their advantage. So if you have a glass of grapefruit juice in the morning and you take the drug, it's going to last longer in the body. But there is absolutely no link with Naringenin as far as I know and I've really carefully looked in the literature with any types of dietary supplements, so it will not clash at all with CanXida. You should have no problem having one grapefruit per day.

In fact, I love grapefruit and I grow the small pink grapefruit called Star Ruby. I really enjoy eating one grapefruit a day when I've got them in season. Just to reiterate on that. There's no problem at all with grapefruit and taking the CanXida formulations. The CanXida formulations do have a type of sustained release built into them, which is a little bit different. It has nothing to do with the liver function. But the product is made in a particular way where the active ingredients will last longer in the digestive system than most dietary supplements. This is an advantage for you guys because it means that the product will act for longer than most kinds of products of this type, meaning it's going to be better value for your money. 

Thanks for catching up with me. I hope that answers the question.
