                                            🧪 Ingredient Spotlight: Citrus Bergamot
Source: A potent extract from the Citrus bergamia fruit native to Calabria, Italy. Rich in unique polyphenolic compounds (neoeriocitrin, naringin, brutieridin, and melitidin), Citrus Bergamot is one of nature’s most powerful tools for maintaining cardiovascular and metabolic health.
🔑 Key Benefits
Helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol
Supports healthy triglyceride levels and overall lipid balance
Enhances liver function and promotes detoxification of excess fats
Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support for cardiovascular health
Aids immune regulation by reducing oxidative stress burden
Backed by human clinical studies showing improved cholesterol ratios
🧬 What Is Citrus Bergamot?
Citrus Bergamot extract (often standardised to 40% polyphenols) is a natural complex of flavonoids that mimic the beneficial effects of statins, without suppressing the body’s own cholesterol production pathways. It works by modulating HMG-CoA reductase and AMPK activation, the same energy-regulating enzyme targeted by exercise and fasting.
⚙️ How It Works
Bergamot’s polyphenols activate AMPK, helping the body shift from fat storage toward fat utilisation. This enhances glucose and lipid metabolism, supports arterial flexibility, and improves HDL function, crucial for clearing cholesterol from blood vessel walls. Its antioxidant actions also protect immune cells and reduce systemic inflammation linked to metabolic stress.
📏 Optimal Dosage
Clinical research supports 500-1000mg daily, taken with food. Standardised extracts (38-47% total flavonoids) provide the most consistent benefits for cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers.
