# Citral ## Overview Citral is a mixture of two acyclic monoterpene geometric isomers, geranial and neral. It is a naturally occurring compound found in the oils of various plants, notably lemon myrtle, lemongrass, and lemon verbena. ## Primary Indications Citral is primarily used in the food and fragrance industries as a flavoring and perfuming agent. There is limited clinical evidence to support its use as a therapeutic agent in conventional medicine. Research into its potential medicinal properties is ongoing, with some preclinical studies exploring its effects on pain, inflammation, and microbial growth. ## Adult Dosing There is no established or universally recognized adult dosing for citral in a therapeutic context. Its use is typically limited to flavoring or fragrance applications where exposure levels are generally low and not dose-regulated for medicinal effect. ## Pediatric Dosing There is no established pediatric dosing for citral. Its use in children is not recommended for therapeutic purposes due to a lack of safety
