Bergamot Can Reduce High Cholesterol, LDL

By March 1, 2021January 23rd, 2024No Comments

Research scientists show that bergamot citrus fruit can reduce elevated total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL). Bergamot is a citrus fruit rich in flavonoids, grown in Southern Italy.

Leading integrative cardiologists use Bergamet Pro+ , the highest potency bergamot nutrition supplement in their practices. Many report that adding Bergamet Pro+ enables them to use lower statin dosages with patients and still get the desired cholesterol reductions.

Bergamet Pro+ is clinically proven to assist in:

  • reducing total cholesterol levels
  • improving LDL and HDL cholesterol levels
  • improving triglyceride levels
  • decreasing blood sugar levels
  • removing fatty deposits in the liver
  • addressing metabolic syndrome

Clinical Application of Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) for Reducing High Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease Markers — Integrative Food, Nutrition and Metabolism, March 2019

Abstract

“The bergamot is a citrus fruit native to southern Italy with traditional uses that include improving immune response and cardiovascular function. There are a variety of phytochemicals that have been found in the bergamot including brutieridin and melitidin as well as other flavonoids, flavones O-glucosides and C-glucosides.

Multiple clinical trials have provided evidence that different forms of orally administered bergamot can reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL].

In vitro mechanistic studies have provided evidence that polyphenols from the bergamot can alter the function of AMPK and pancreatic cholesterol ester hydrolase (pCEH). The use of bergamot in multiple clinical trials has consistently shown that it is well tolerated in studies ranging from 30 days to 12 weeks.

This mini-review reports on the clinical studies performed with different forms of bergamot along with their effectiveness in reducing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in patients with hypercholesterolemia.”


NOTE: Some medical doctors use Bergamet Pro+ with Arterosil-HP as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular support program that always includes the foundational components of a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise.
