Bergamot is a citrus plant that emerged as a cross between bitter orange and other citrus plants and was first described in the 17th century. It is primarily grown in Calabria in Italy and its extracts give Earl Gray tea its characteristic aroma. The essential oils of bergamot are used in perfumery and aromatherapy.

What most people don't know is that bergamot is also very rich in polyphenols, which, like the essential oils of this plant, provide a variety of health benefits and also have strong antioxidant properties (1).

How can Citrus Bergamot improve the health of your cardiovascular system and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke?

Citrus Bergamot from GN Labaratories can improve cholesterol and blood lipid levels. Elevated cholesterol levels and blood lipid levels are one of the primary risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This can not only affect people who lead unhealthy lifestyles, but also bodybuilders who consume too many saturated fats in their diet.

High levels of harmful LDL cholesterol promote deposits in the blood vessels, which can lead to narrowing or blockages and are the primary trigger for a heart attack. Healthy HDL cholesterol counteracts such deposits by promoting the removal of LDL cholesterol.

Scientific studies have shown that citrus bergamot can reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels by 24 to 36%, while it can increase healthy HDL cholesterol levels by 22 to 40%. In addition, a significant reduction in triglyceride levels in the blood was observed. In contrast to statins, which are used in the medical field to lower cholesterol, citrus bergamot does not inhibit the body's production of coenzyme Q10, which is important for energy metabolism.

In addition, citrus bergamot acts as an effective antioxidant that can counteract the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (1). This is of particular interest because oxidized LDL cholesterol contributes significantly more to plaque formation in the blood vessels (i.e. calcification of the veins) than intact LDL cholesterol.
