Does Grapefruit Affect Hesperidin?
May affect absorption or how you feel
The short answer
Hesperidin is metabolized by CYP enzymes and also modulates P-glycoprotein. Grapefruit may alter hesperidin metabolism and amplify its effects.
How to arrange timing
Separate hesperidin supplements from grapefruit by 2 hours.
