GSE = Grapefruit Seed ExtractAlso known as "GSE", sometimes called Citricidal. It's is one of the first natural remedies I ever tried and I've been a loyal fan ever since. Two popular brands of grapefruit seed extract are Source Naturals and Nutribiotic. You can also get it from my supplier, linked below.
