MOROSIL™
Morosil™ is a standardized botanical extract used in nutraceutical applications, particularly in the field of weight management and metabolic health.Key Benefits:• Standardized blood orange extract obtained exclusively from the juice of Moro red oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck), the most pigmented of the Sicilian blood orange cultivars• Grown in the PGI-protected Arancia Rossa di Sicilia zone in eastern Sicily, where volcanic soil and marked day-night temperature swings around Mount Etna drive natural anthocyanin development• Standardized composition (% w/w): anthocyanins as cyanidin-3-glucoside 0.8-0.9%, hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic, cumaric, sinapic, ferulic, cinnamic) 0.8-1.0%, flavanones (hesperidin, narirutin) 2.0-2.2%, ascorbic acid 4.3-4.5%• Acts on adipocyte metabolism and differentiation via modulation of redox homeostasis and downregulation of adipogenesis-specific transcription factors (PPARγ, C/EBPα, SREBP-1c) and lipogenic enzymes (ACC-α, FAS), supporting a balance between lipogenesis and lipid β-oxidation• Associated with support for fat mass and body composition management, waist and hip circumference, lean mass preservation, and lipid and glycemic metabolic profile• Non-GMO Project Verified, VeganOK, Halal, and Clinically Proven certified; independently verified for identity and purity through Purity-IQ, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited authenticity testing methodology (NMR and qPCR-based)• Traceable, food-industry co-product sourcing (juice from oranges not meeting fresh-market food standards)• Produced by Bionap (Belpasso, Sicily) and distributed by Safic-Alcan• Shelf life: 36 monthsTypical Applications:Blood orange extract / Moro orange extract / red orange extract for nutraceutical formulations targeting weight management, body composition, fat metabolism, and metabolic health support and indirectly improve cardiovascular functions. Suitable for capsules, tablets, powders, liquid formats, and gummies at the dose of 400 mg/day. Nutraceutical ingredient for weight-management product lines, including formulations addressing pre- and post-GLP-1 treatment nutritional support, and for products positioned on lipid and glycemic metabolic health.
