Grapefruit Seed Extract is naturally derived, meaning it comes from natural sources such as plants, minerals, or animal products rather than being chemically synthesized. Natural-origin ingredients are preferred by many consumers, though it's important to note that 'natural' does not automatically mean 'safer' — safety depends on the specific substance, its purity, and the amount used. The safety rating assigned by GoodSupp is based on the ingredient's actual safety profile, not its origin.
