Some of the other compounds found in lemon are citric acid known to support healthy kidney function, Hesperidin know to support blood vessel health, Diosmin known to support healthy circulation and also may support a healthy inflammation response, D-Limonene which is the main component of lemon essential oils and responsible for the wonderful smell that lemons have.

Acid or Alkaline? This amazing fruit is made up of about 5% acid and has a pH level of 2-3 so therefore is considered acid in nature. Although inside the human body, when a lemon is metabolized and its minerals are dissociated in the blood the lemon takes on an alkalizing effect and raises the body’s pH level to slightly above a 7. A pH balanced system may help to support the ability for the body to function at more optimal levels.
