Moro Orange Extract

Moro orange extract comes from a red-fleshed blood orange grown in Sicily, and it is rich in anthocyanins, plant pigments with antioxidant activity. People mostly look at it for body composition, and studies found body fat went down, though the evidence is limited. The research was small, covering 169 people in total, and muscle mass showed no clear difference, so the evidence there is very limited.
