Product Overview
Description:
(+)-Limonene is a monoterpene found abundantly in citrus oils and botanical matrices that possesses multi-functional antimicrobial, cytostatic, and protective properties. This lipophilic terpene exhibits direct activity against diverse bacterial and fungal pathogens, curtails malignant tumor growth and distant visceral metastasis in vivo, restores depleted renal glutathione antioxidant pools, and serves as an effective organic agent for pest and algal control.
