Bergamot Supplement for Balanced Cholesterol

Cholesterol Control supports maintaining healthy cholesterol levels (total, LDL, and HDL), essential for cardiovascular health.

The rising incidence of cardiovascular events such as strokes and heart attacks has led to increased investigation into causative factors, many of which are lifestyle-related, particularly diet. Consumption of highly processed, high-fat, low-fiber, and sugary foods has been linked to increased cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and blood sugar. These factors are directly associated with the development of conditions like diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease.

Excess cholesterol can contribute to atherosclerosis, making diet, lifestyle changes, medications, and supplements crucial for managing cholesterol levels. The HDL:LDL ratio is also vital in assessing cholesterol-related risk. LDL cholesterol and excess triglycerides can form plaques in blood vessels, leading to artery narrowing and oxygen deprivation in tissues. Conversely, HDL cholesterol helps remove free cholesterol from the blood and tissues, returning it to the liver for excretion.

Traditional treatments often focus on inhibiting cholesterol production in the liver by targeting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase. However, this approach doesn't increase HDL levels to remove existing cholesterol, nor does it address glucose dysregulation. Additionally, it can cause significant side effects due to the inhibition of downstream products. Therefore, a multi-targeted approach is more beneficial.

Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), a citrus fruit found in the coastal Calabrian region of Italy, is a key ingredient in Cholesterol Control. Bergamot boasts a diverse and highly concentrated flavonoid profile, offering numerous cardiovascular benefits. The polyphenols in bergamot provide antioxidant properties common to other citrus flavonoids, making it a valuable addition to a cholesterol management regimen.
