Brother’s Apothecary Capsules – Super Citrus

What does Super Citrus taste like?

 Super Citrus capsules are tasteless and packaged in 100% vegetarian capsules and only contain faint tastes of the herbs inside. Because we use whole orange, lemon, and grapefruit peels with pure Elderberry, each Super Citrus CBD Capsule has a light citrus aroma and taste.

What’s inside Super Citrus?

Super Citrus starts with an expert blend of citrus peels, including grapefruit, lemon, and orange. These nutrient-rich fruits and then blended perfectly with Elderberry and cannabinoid-rich hemp, specifically high in CBD.

In totality, citruses are fantastic plants with various active metabolites, including flavonoids, alkaloids, limonoids, coumarins, carotenoids, phenolic acids, and essential oils. Each citrus has a unique profile, taste, and color:

Grapefruits are sometimes sweet but often considered the more sour members of the citrus family. Interestingly, the modern grapefruit is only 300 years old and were created after what’s believed to be a hybrid between sweet orange and pomelo. When they were first discovered, horticulturalists thought it was an accident! They are full of vitamins A and C, and the peels contain more fiber than pulp.

Oranges were highly valued when first cultivated and remain among the most popular citruses in the world. The peels are often used for essential oils. Traditional Chinese Medicine also frequently used orange peels in tonics and qi-improving formulas. Oranges, like all citruses, are packed full of beneficial enzymes and phytonutrients. The peels are also commonly used in teas and added to flavor drinks.

Our third peel comes from vibrant lemons. Lemon has the all-familiar bright, citrus smells and flavors of other citruses and is common in winter beverages like hot toddies, “wellness teas,” and other throat-soothing recipes. Lemon peels are also high in vitamin C. They are commonly used in teas and can add aroma and flavor to any recipe!

While we love our citruses, we also wanted to add the Elderberry. Elderberries are flowering plants, often tall, with thin branches covered in tight clusters of berries. They have a rich history of use in Indigenous American cultures, though they were also used in ancient Egypt. The berries are very tart and need to be cooked before ingesting. While they require some preparation, they are high in vitamin C and fiber and contain beneficial plant metabolites, including a host of broader polyphenols, including anthocyanins and procyanidins, which have antioxidant activity.

When should I use CBD Capsules? 

We suggest taking Super C every day. They are packed with vitamin C from citrus peels and Elderberry, which may help support a healthy immune system. We recommend starting with 1-2 capsules and working your way up if you desire a more concentrated vitamin C herbal supplement. Because we use whole-plant-based recipes, the vitamin C content will differ from that of an isolated, 100% vitamin C capsule lacking the other phytonutrients and secondary plant metabolites in whole foods.
