Bergamonte® - Full Spectrum Citrus Bergamot for Heart Health

$34.95


Bergamonte® is a full spectrum Citrus bergamia Risso extract from Calabria Italy. Backed by 15 published human clinicals, Bergamonte® has been clinically tested to maintain healthy HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose levels already in normal range, providing superior support for healthy cardio metabolic function.

  • Supports Healthy Cholesterol and Glucose Levels Already in the Normal Range*
  • Maintain a Healthy Heart & Cardiovascular Function*
  • Supports Healthy Weight Management & Metabolic Wellness*

    *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

      Comprehensive Cardiovascular Protection with Support for Your Cholesterol Profile

      Bergamonte® contains Citrus Bergamot, a proprietary extract of Citrus bergamia Risso which grows almost exclusively in the narrow coastal Calabria region of Southern Italy. Bergamonte® provides a superior full spectrum antioxidant potency with ORAC 5.0 value of >22,000 umole TE/g.

      Bergamonte® Benefits:

      • Helps Maintain a Healthy Heart & Cardiovascular Function*
      • Helps Support Healthy Cholesterol and Glucose Levels Already in the Normal Range*
      • Revitalizes youthful AMPK levels*
      • Promotes healthy balance of hormones responsible for hunger & satiety*
      • Assists in Sustaining Healthy Weight Management*
      • Support Healthy Cardiometabolic Function*
      • Provides Powerful Antioxidant Protection*

      Bergamonte® Helps Safeguard Vascular and Heart Health

      Backed by 12 published human clinicals, Bergamonte® has been clinically tested to provide superior support for healthy cardio metabolic function, and help maintain healthy HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose levels already in normal range*.

      Balancing good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol is a key part of supporting a healthy blood lipid profile.   Bergamonte® promotes HDL-C production and help support optimal HDL/LDL ratios already within normal range*.

      Bergamonte® Activates AMPK

      Bergamonte® BPE Complex stimulate AMPK, master regulator of metabolic pathways that regulates healthy glucose, lipid metabolism and energy production. As we age, AMPK activity significantly decline, that is one reason why we experience changes in appetite, body weight, energy levels, and increase in accumulation of abdominal fat.  Studies showed that taking Bergamonte® BPE-C can help revitalize youthful AMPK levels, supports already-healthy cholesterol levels and glucose level, support healthy vascular function, help burn fat, and promote healthy cellular metabolism.*

      Bergamonte® Scavenges Free Radicals & Provides Superior Antioxidant Protection

      Bergamonte® provides superior antioxidant protection with ORAC 5.0 value of >28,500 umole TE/g.  That means 1 serving (2 capsules) of Bergamonte® is equivalent to the ORAC value of > 6 servings of fruits, since average servings of fruits provide about 2,186 ORAC.  Bergamonte® supports the body's capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species and supports cellular antioxidant defense against damaging free radicals.

      Bergamonte® Encourages Autophagy

      Autophagy is the body’s natural process for cleaning out intra-cellular debris and other metabolic waste, so that newer & healthier cells can regenerate.  As we age, our bodies get less adept at autophagy, the natural process for recycling cellular debris slowed and result in accumulation of damaged and senescent cells.   This can trigger inflammatory pathways and contribute to various health imbalances.  The polyphenols in Bergamonte® encourages autophagy process, promotes the pathway to recycle waste material, maintains cellular energy balance, and helping your body function optimally.

      Bergamonte® Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Response

      Bergamonte® helps support the body’s inflammatory response, maintains the balance between cytokine compounds that your body needs to function harmoniously, and encourages healthy C-reactive protein levels already within the normal range*

      Bergamonte® Promotes Healthy Endothelial Function

      In addition to maintaining already-healthy cholesterol levels, Bergamonte® is also clinically shown to support endothelial function, promotes already-healthy levels of blood glucose, insulin and blood pressure,  thus helping to maintain healthy circulation*. Flavanoids in Bergamot have been shown to protect against LDL oxidation and favorably promote endothelial function, thus helping to maintain healthy circulation*.

      Research-Backed Results

      What sets Bergamonte® apart is that the ingredient has been tested by double-blind randomized controlled studies, 12 published human clinicals and counting!!!  This is the Bergamot extract used in the published study.  Bergamonte® has been clinically shown to provide superior support for healthy cardio metabolic function, help maintain healthy HDL, LDL, triglycerides already in normal range, and support healthy endothelial function.  Clinical evidence also demonstrates that it promotes healthy balance of hormones responsible for hunger & satiety, promotes already-healthy levels of blood glucose, insulin and blood pressure.  Try and experience the Bergamonte® difference!

      SUGGESTED USE: Take 1000mg of Bergamonte® daily during the first 1 to 6 months until optimal healthy cholesterol is achieved; 500mg to 1000mg as maintenance daily usage thereafter, or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional.
