Jarrow Formulas Citrus Bergamot is a dietary supplement that contains a highly concentrated extract from the fruit pulp of bergamot orange. It exerts antioxidant properties and shows a positive effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia Risso) is a small citrus tree grown mainly in Italy. It produces round fruit with aromatic flesh. The extract obtained from the fruit, standardized for the content of five key polyphenols (neoeriocytin, neohesperidin, naringin, melitidin, and brutieridin), is a world-known therapeutic agent with antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects.

The polyphenols contained in the preparation have antioxidant properties. They sweep free radicals out of the body and provide cells with solid protection against oxidative damage. They also help to improve the condition of blood vessel endothelium; they show anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effects. Scientific research proves that a diet rich in polyphenols plays an important role in the prevention of civilization diseases.

Jarrow Formulas Citrus Bergamot positively affects the lipid profile. It promotes LDL cholesterol reduction and a decrease in triglyceride levels while promoting the increase of the desired HDL cholesterol fraction. The 12-week clinical trial showed that bergamot pulp extract was effective even in patients who had not responded to treatment with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), one of the most popular and commonly used anti-cholesterol drugs.

The presented preparation helps to regulate carbohydrate metabolism. Scientists have selected several mechanisms of action of bioactive substances found in bergamot pulp. It is thought that certain polyphenols may increase AMP kinase activity and improve glucose uptake. They are also likely to increase tissue sensitivity to insulin and improve glucose tolerance.

In summary, Jarrow Formulas Citrus Bergamot is a preparation based on a natural raw material that may help to stabilize carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Consequently, it has a beneficial effect on health and helps to reduce cardiovascular risk.
