MorosilTM is a standardised solid extract obtained from the juice of Moro red oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck).
It is a natural ingredient developed for weight management and the prevention of obesity. The anti-obesity effect is attributed to the synergistic mechanism of the whole pool of biophenols contained in the enriched blood orange extract.
Mechanism of Action
MorosilTM is shown to inhibit fat accumulation by affecting the metabolism of adipocytes in both animal model and clinical trial on human.

Marked reduction in adipocyte cell size, around 50% reduction of abdominal fat and more than 25% reduction of body weight1

Significant reduction of body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference after a period of treatment of 12 weeks2
