Description

Recent advancements in healthcare research are finding new applications for bergamot oil, which contains biologically active flavonoids. Add Swanson Superior Herbs Bergamot Extract to your supplement regimen for a holistic approach to cholesterol maintenance and overall metabolic health.

Bergamot is a small, fragrant citrus fruit and while all citrus fruits contain some flavonoids, bergamot is unique in its high concentration of these beneficial compounds, notably a flavonoid called naringin. Clinical studies indicate the antioxidant activity of these flavonoids may benefit cardiovascular system health by positively impacting lipid and sugar metabolism. Swanson Bergamot Extract is standardized to 25% flavonoids for consistent supplementation.

Additionally, the polyphenols found in bergamot may work to activate AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) which in turn supports healthy glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure and insulin. These polyphenols support cardiovascular health without decreasing the body’s production of CoQ10.
