CYP3A4 enzyme is good-right? And grapefruit inhibits that? So why anyone should have that fruit?
Utilizing the CYP3A4 enzyme for NBE (or to understand its process) isn't as difficult as it may appear. Two things that CYP3A4 enzyme connects with NBE is the liver and small intestines (although, lol, understanding how a redox oxidation in the enzyme works IS complicated). But think of it this way, it would appear similar to filter out toxins, then supercharges the supplement (drug).
So the grapefruit is like that supercharger, pomegranates are similar to this reaction too. Some medications are amplified (supercharged) when you take them together (grapefruit & drug that is). The odd thing is that the amplification is different for everybody, meaning the results vary. They do have blood tests that pinpoint certain meds and these interactions.
Did you know having grapefruit before meals lowers overeating?. But yeah, the whole grapefruit diet has some controversy though, (I think it does work imo).
Thanks Lotus, I will do some research on grapefruit. POM
