What it is
Bitter orange, also known as Seville orange, is a sharp citrus fruit used in marmalade. Banaba is a flowering tree from Southeast Asia whose leaves are made into an extract. Korean ginseng is Panax ginseng, and the label says the extract uses aerial parts, meaning those above ground. Resveratrol is a plant compound, here taken from the root of Polygonum cuspidatum, or Japanese knotweed.
Where it comes from
Bitter orange trees grow around the Mediterranean and in other warm regions. Banaba is native to the Philippines and nearby lands. Korean ginseng is cultivated in Korea and northeast Asia, and knotweed grows along riverbanks in East Asia.
