May have anticancer properties and protect your brain

Yuzu has a variety of anti-cancer compounds. Limonoids, which are found in a variety of citrus fruits, are of special importance. Test-tube studies show that they are effective against breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Tangerine and the flavonoid nobiletin are also found in the yuzu peel. Nobiletin inhibits tumor development in test tubes and animals, but tangeretin inhibits leukemia cell proliferation.

Yuzu may protect your brain against illnesses like Alzheimer's, according to animal and test-tube research. In fact, the long-term use of Yuzu extracts enhanced brain function and blood sugar management in rats with induced brain damage. Furthermore, the yuzu flavonoid naringenin has specific brain-protective properties. In two investigations, naringenin isolated from yuzu enhanced memory and lowered oxidative stress from brain-damaging proteins in mice with induced memory loss.
