Instructions for use
Losing weight with Citrosept drops requires a special approach. For this purpose, a special scheme has been developed and recommendations are given.

The optimal course of using this dietary supplement for weight loss is 1-1.5 months, although taking the dietary supplement for 3-6 months is not excluded. The network offers several options for using the product for losing weight:
Option #1
- The first 3 days: 15 drops per 200 ml of water, taken twice a day;
- from 4 to 10 days: 20 drops per 200 ml of water, repeat twice a day;
- from 11 to 28 days: 20 drops per 200 ml of water, taken three times a day;

- from 8 to 14 days: 30 k. per glass of water, repeat three times;
- from 15 to 30 days: 50 k. per glass of tea or water, used three times a day.

This option provides for the selection of dosage in accordance with the user’s initial weight:
- up to 60 kg: 25 k. per 200 ml of water three times a day;
- up to 100 kg: 30 k. three times a day;
- over 100 kg: 40 k. per glass of water three times a day.
The temperature of the water used to prepare the solution should be at room temperature. It is strictly forbidden to add the drug to hot water, otherwise all the beneficial properties will disappear.
It is recommended to use the dietary supplement solution between main meals - no earlier than 1 hour before and no later than 1.5 hours after meals.
Additional measures
Since Citrosept is not a complete weight loss product, but is considered only as a powerful antioxidant and metabolism-boosting agent, additional effort is required to obtain the effect.
- Diet
The best choice is a moderate low-calorie diet (about 1600-1700 kcal per day). The menu for one day is as follows:
- Breakfast: 100 g of cottage cheese, 200 g of stewed carrots, a cup of unsweetened coffee with milk.
- Second breakfast: 200 g of white cabbage salad with low-fat sour cream.
- Lunch: 200 ml of vegetarian cabbage soup, 100 g of boiled meat, 50 g of green peas, 100 g of fresh apples.
- Afternoon snack: 100 g of cottage cheese, a glass of rosehip infusion.
- Dinner: 100 g of boiled or baked sea fish, 120 g of vegetable stew.
- Before bed: a glass of low-fat kefir.
You are allowed to consume approximately 150-170 grams of rye bread per day.
- Physical activity
As practice shows, losing weight using dietary supplements cannot be “passive”. In the case of a Polish product, this rule also works. If it is not possible to take physical activity seriously, you should take daily walks or do gymnastics at home at least 3 times a week.
Side effects
Citrosept is a potent dietary supplement that can destroy the cell membranes of microbes, which can lead to the penetration of a certain amount of toxins into the blood. As a result, bowel dysfunction occurs, headaches and a feeling of general weakness appear. No one is immune from such side effects, even if taken without exceeding the dosage.
Many people who lose weight with the help of grapefruit dietary supplements note that it tends to cause allergic skin reactions - from mild ones in the form of redness to more serious ones. In the latter case, antihistamines are required.
The dietary supplement should be used with caution in case of diabetes, since a slight decrease in blood sugar is possible.
Contraindications
The pharmaceutical product is not recommended for use when:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- individual intolerance to components;
- low blood pressure.
Drug interactions
Citrosept should be taken with caution when using glycosides and other drugs intended for the treatment of arterial hypertension and coronary insufficiency. Dietary supplements can increase the activity of cardiac drugs.
Storage conditions
The dietary supplement should be stored at a temperature of +4 to +20 degrees in its original packaging. After the expiration date specified by the manufacturer, use is impossible.
Rating of food delivery for weight loss
Delivery of food with calculated calorie content, ready-made diets. No more cooking and counting calories!

Is it possible to lose weight
The effectiveness of Citrosept drops for weight loss has no scientific evidence, which does not prevent the use of the drug for this purpose. According to experts, slight weight loss when consuming liquid grapefruit extract is possible due to the cleansing effect: Citrosept actively removes toxins and waste from the body and prevents the accumulation of intercellular fluid. Thanks to these properties, fat metabolism is normalized, cholesterol levels in the blood are reduced and intestinal microflora is stabilized. Another important property of the dietary supplement for weight loss is appetite suppression, which prevents cravings for sweets and overeating.
Many people mistakenly believe that Polish-made dietary supplements are fat-burning. This effect is not typical for it, despite the fact that grapefruit is called a “fat killer.”
If you set a goal to lose weight with the help of Polish drops, you should not expect quick and radical results. You can find reviews online about losing weight with Citrosept drops by 20 kg in just a month. This is nothing more than a fiction. But, unlike most powerful dietary supplements for losing weight, the product does not cause obvious harm to the body and is not addictive. Other benefits of use include:
- low likelihood of developing serious side effects;
- versatility (can be used by men and women);
- maintaining vigor and a stable psycho-emotional state throughout the entire course of “treatment”;
- possibility of use for preventive purposes to maintain results;
- work for the long term (drops do not give a lightning-fast effect, but they promise to preserve it for years);
- reducing the negative impact on the body with a limited diet;
- ease of use.

Composition and properties
The pharmaceutical product is produced by the Polish company CINTAMANI (Chintamani). The Latin name of the drug, produced in the form of a solution, sounds like Citrosept. The product is popularly known as “Citrosept grapefruit liquid”.
The basis of the dietary supplement is grapefruit juice, or rather its seeds. It is a well-known source of vitamins, ascorbic acid, fatty acids and amino acids. Grapefruit seed extract contains a large number of polyphenolic compounds, the main of which are glycosides and bioflavonoids in the form of hesperidin, quercetin, rutinoside, naringin and naringenite. Such substances have P-vitamin activity, due to which there is a regulating effect on metabolism. Limonene, which is found in grapefruit seeds, helps remove toxins from the body. In addition to grapefruit seed squeeze, the dietary supplement contains purified water and palm glycerin, that is, it does not contain aggressive chemical compounds.
In the pharmaceutical market, dietary supplements are mainly known as a “natural antibiotic” aimed at combating bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Doctors tend to consider it a high-quality general strengthening agent that is effective against colds and helps strengthen the immune system. In general, the spectrum of action of the drug is extensive:
- diseases of the respiratory system (bronchitis, pharyngitis, acute sinusitis);
- pathological conditions of the oral cavity (stomatitis, periodontal disease, gingivitis);
- skin problems (nonspecific rashes, acne, psoriasis, seborrhea of the scalp, shingles, urticaria, etc.);

Contraindications
The instructions for Citrosept from different manufacturers indicate a minimum of contraindications:
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
- tendency to allergies;
- heart failure;
- gastritis due to increased gastric acidity;
- lactation.
Some manufacturers list pregnancy as a contraindication. There are also those who allow women to drink the drug during gestation, limiting the dosage to 20 drops per day.
Side effects are often not indicated in the instructions at all. Although numerous reviews contain complaints about the discomfort that appears after taking Citrosept. Among them:
- severe allergic reactions, not just a skin rash, but also difficulty breathing, excessive tearing;
- abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea;
- weakness, lethargy, drowsiness;
- headache, joint, muscle pain;
- body aches;
- hyperhidrosis;
- fever.
After administration, a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction may begin. Presents with severe headache and uncontrollable diarrhea. Occurs due to the massive death of a large number of pathogenic microorganisms under the influence of bioflavonoids. This provokes the release of endogenous toxins. On the one hand, the reaction indicates the effectiveness of the drug. On the other hand, the symptoms are extremely unpleasant and can lead to weakness and dehydration.
To improve the condition it is recommended:
- reduce dosage;
- include as much fiber as possible in your diet; bran is the ideal solution to the problem;
- drink 100-200 ml of water at room temperature every half hour.
If side effects occur, use should be discontinued. It is strongly recommended to consult a physician before use. However, do not delude yourself: it is unlikely that he will give permission to lose weight with the help of Citrosept, because excess weight and obesity are not included in the list of indications.
Cases of overdose are unknown.
