Egyáltalán: jó-e valamire a grépfrút (azon kívül, hogy kellemes ízű, értékes összetételű gyümölcs)? Ha igen, melyik részét érdemes felhasználni? Mit érdemes tudni a tucatszámra forgalomban lévő grépfrútcseppekről?

A grapefuitmag kivonat Candida albicans elleni hatásáról:
„Grapefruit (Citrius paradisi) seed extract is derived from the pulp and seeds of grapefruit. GSE products are commonly used as naturopathic remedies, supplements, disinfectant and sanitizing agents as well as preservatives in the food and cosmetics industry. GSE is commercially available at many health food stores, with claims of having beneficial health properties including the treatment of yeast infections. Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of GSE against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms (Heggers et al., 2002). Although there have been studies of GSE effectively inhibiting bacteria and fungi, studies have shown that the synthetic chemical preservatives added to commercially available GSE enhances antimicrobial and antifungal activity (Woedtke et al., 1999). The most recent study using natural ethanolic extract of grapefruit seeds and pulp found that the extract exhibited antimicrobial efficacy, including the inhibition of C. albicans (Cvetnic et al., 2004).

The inhibitory activity of Miconazole Nitrate Salt occurred within the concentration range of 100-120 μg mL-1, suppressing the growth rates to < 0.02 hr-1 (Fig. 2A, 2B). The only natural remedy in this study to exhibit inhibitory activity against C. albicans along the same magnitude as miconazole nitrate salt was grapefruit seed extract. GSE exhibited inhibitory activity at concentrations of 100 - 120 μg mL-1, lowering the growth rate to below 0.02 hr-1. GSE is used in the food industry for its antioxidant and preservation qualities and is considered to have no toxicological significance (Bentivegna et al., 2002).”

Discussion
Atopic eczema
Summary: There is early but inconclusive evidence from one small case series to support the use of grapefruit seed extract in the treatment of atopic eczema. Future randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
Evidence: Ionescu et al. conducted a case series of 15 patients with atopic eczema. Subjects took 150mg oral grapefruit seed extract (ParaMicrocidin®) three times daily for one month; clinical improvement and effectiveness against correlated intestinal pathogens were observed (17). All patients withdrew from steroid or antihistamine treatments 10 days prior to and during the study period. The extract was most effective against Candida spp., Geotrichum spp., and hemolytic coliforms. There was only slight inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and aerobic spore formers and no inhibition was demonstrated against Klebsiella spp. Normal fecal microorganisms were largely unaffected and there were no side effects. All patients noted improvement in constipation, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and night rest after four weeks of treatment. Future investigations should target a larger number of participants with a placebo control and examine higher dosages.
