A patented bioflavonoid complex derived from upcycled bitter oranges and tested against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, moulds and fungi.
What Is Citrox®?
Citrox® is a patented water-based complex that combines citrus bioflavonoids with naturally occurring organic acids. Developed by Citrox Biosciences, the technology has been scientifically validated for broad-spectrum anti-pathogenic activity and is used across industries where hygiene, safety and surface performance matter.
Why Bioflavonoids?
Nature’s Protective Compounds
Bioflavonoids are natural plant compounds found in citrus fruits, berries, vegetables and flowers. Plants use them as part of their own defence system, helping protect against environmental stress, oxidation and microbial challenge.
Derived from Upcycled Bitter Oranges
Citrox® uses bioflavonoids derived from upcycled bitter oranges, transforming a citrus by-product into a high-value active technology.ients. Provide a brief summary to help visitors understand the context and background.
