ailment-specific information that overrides these general details.
While most people discard grapefruit seeds, grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is believed by some in alternative medicine to offer notable health benefits. It's said to have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, and is used to address conditions like candida, earaches, throat infections, and digestive issues. However, GSE remains controversial—mainly due to limited human research and concerns over adulteration. Some studies have found that certain commercial GSE products contain potentially harmful synthetic additives, such as benzethonium chloride and triclosan.
