Orange

Orange (Citrus sinensis) is one of the world’s most familiar fruits, which can make it easy to overlook how useful it is in a functional formula. Beyond its natural vitamin C content, orange contains citrus flavanones — particularly hesperidin — together with organic acids, aromatic compounds and carotenoids. In xdose formulations, orange has an important practical role: it can provide natural sweetness and body while carrying sharper ingredients such as ginger, lemon or grapefruit without masking them completely. That makes it an excellent bridge between function and drinkability. We use orange not to make a functional shot taste like ordinary juice, but to give stronger ingredients a natural fruit framework. Sometimes the most familiar raw material becomes valuable precisely because it allows more challenging functional ingredients to work in a concentrated 60 ml format.
