If you’re like many Americans who prioritize keeping their cholesterol levels in a healthy range, you’ve probably tried several potential solutions, like popular herbs astragalus and hawthorn or even flax seed and fish oil. However, many people often find these have little to no effect on their overall numbers.
Your first priority in supporting healthy cholesterol levels is to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes regular sensible exercise, a healthy sleep routine, wise stress management and a diet centered on whole foods.
These lifestyle choices go a long way toward promoting not just healthy cholesterol levels, but also healthy weight and glucose levels, as well as overall cardiovascular health.
Here’s the thing… high cholesterol often shows up as part of a package of issues, indicating that your metabolism is out of balance.
It’s wise to address the metabolic picture as a whole, instead of just one piece of it.
That’s where this unique citrus fruit from southern Italy comes in. In addition to making healthful lifestyle choices, this fruit offers remarkably promising prospects for promoting healthy cholesterol levels and metabolic health.
The traditional use of this fruit, by the people in its growing region, supports healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health – which was forgotten for decades.
Today, it’s being rediscovered.
Research has illuminated multiple benefits for your cardiovascular health and metabolic balance – all from the juice of this little, bitter-sour citrus gem…
What Makes This Bitter Citrus Fruit So Special
Grown almost exclusively in the Calabria region of southern Italy, Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a fragrant citrus fruit, about the size and shape of a lemon, that comes in shades of yellow, green and orange.
Notable for its distinctive flavor and aroma – a blend of citrusy, floral, and slightly spicy notes – it’s used to give an accent of flavor to a variety of foods and drinks, including the popular Earl Grey tea.
In addition to using it to flavor food and beverages, native Calabrian’s have long used bergamot as a traditional method for promoting cardiovascular health.
Recent research has confirmed the wisdom of that traditional practice and discovered that bergamot also:
- Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range.*
- Supports healthy glucose levels already in the normal range.*
- Aids in healthy weight management.*
- Supplies a rich source of antioxidants for fighting free radicals in your body.*
Let’s take a look at the variety of ways bergamot works in your body to naturally support cardiovascular health and metabolic balance.
How Special Flavonoids in Bergamot Support Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Bergamot contains a unique array of flavonoids, a special group of colorful polyphenols (plant substances) with powerful health-supporting antioxidant properties.
Bergamot contains many flavonoids, with two notable compounds named neohesperidin and naringin. Research has revealed the significance of these compounds in promoting and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels in the normal range.*
Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels has a big impact on your overall cardiovascular health.
What’s exciting is that bergamot’s phytochemical activity has a positive impact on other areas of your cardiovascular system in addition to cholesterol balance.
How Bergamot Works With Your Metabolic Pathways to Support Healthy Glucose Levels
We’ve discussed a few of the flavonoids in bergamot that support your cardiovascular system.
Now let’s take a look at how those same flavonoids – along with an additional one – work to support healthy glucose levels in your body, helping you maintain healthy weight.
Here’s what research has discovered about how bergamot can affect your metabolism…
A special enzyme called AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) is a master regulator of your metabolic pathways. When AMPK is stimulated, it can aid in fat burning and impact the distribution of abdominal fat in your body.
Two flavonoids in bergamot – naringin, which we discussed earlier, and neohesperidin – have been shown to activate AMPK, enhancing glucose uptake and energy production to support healthy glucose levels in the normal range.*
They also activate important glucose transporter proteins that play an important role in maintaining healthy glucose levels.
Naringin also helps activate AMPK pathways by modulating enzymes that are important for energy production and glucose balance."
Flavonoids, such as neohesperidin and naringin, play a big part in bergamot’s ability to support healthy glucose levels for metabolic balance in your body.
Biothin® Bergamot – The Finest Organic Extract from the World’s Leading Producer
We’re excited to bring you Biothin® Bergamot, a special extract manufactured by one of the world’s leaders in natural supplement production.
This special extract, Bergamonte® BPE Complex®, comes from the organic citrus groves of sunny Calabria. Standardized to contain 190 mg polyphenols per 500 mg dose, you can enjoy the confidence of knowing it fully delivers on the promise of bergamot.
In addition to its polyphenol content, it also contains 40 mg pectin, a soluble fiber found in many fruits, including bergamot. Pectin helps support healthy cholesterol and glucose levels already in the normal range.*
Studies on Bergamonte® show it effectively provides the benefits of bergamot, including supporting:
- Healthy cholesterol levels already in the normal range (total, LDL and HDL)*
- Cardiovascular health*
- Healthy glucose levels already in the normal range*
- Healthy weight management*
- Free radical scavenging through its rich supply of antioxidants
While some bergamot products contain unnecessary fillers, like magnesium stearate and stearic acid, Biothin® Bergamot contains only organic bergamot extract in an organic capsule, with organic brown rice flour to fully fill the capsule.
It is Certified USDA Organic, soy free and gluten free.
Studies on Bergamonte® also show it could support healthy levels of ghrelin, a hormone that affects hunger, and to promote healthy production of adiponectin, a hormone linked to fat burning.*
Biothin® Bergamot is a healthy way to complement your healthy lifestyle choices for supporting metabolic and cardiovascular health.*
Fight Free Radicals With the Wealth of Antioxidants in Biothin® Bergamot
With a total ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of a whopping 22,000, Biothin® Bergamot supplies your body with a tiny army of free radical fighters.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that travel around your body, searching for electrons to steal from stable molecules. When they find them, they generate new unstable molecules, and create more free radicals.
The antioxidants from bergamot provide a powerful natural mechanism for neutralizing those damaging free radicals and preventing oxidative stress.
Without antioxidants to keep them in check, free radicals can damage cells and tissues throughout your body. Research suggests antioxidants support your overall health, especially your cardiovascular and metabolic health.*
Biothin® Bergamot contains a long list of antioxidants, including:
- Naringin – supports healthy cholesterol and glucose levels
- Hesperidin – supports healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Neohesperidin – involved in activating AMPK
- Neoeriocitrin
And two novel antioxidant compounds found only in bergamot:
-
Brutieridin
-
Melitidin
On top of all that, bergamot also contains a rich supply of vitamin C, much like its other citrus cousins.
Vitamin C is known as the “grandfather of antioxidants” because it plays a dual role in your body. It functions as a powerful antioxidant and it acts as an essential nutrient, supporting your optimal metabolic and cardiovascular health.
