NOW Foods Bergamot Extract with Plant Sterols (120 tablets) combines an extract from the bergamot fruit with plant sterols in a single tablet. Per serving of 2 tablets, you get 500 mg Bergamonte®, an extract of the whole bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia) with at least 30% flavonoids, and 800 mg plant sterols from pine. In the first 30 days, take 2 tablets twice daily with a meal, then 2 tablets daily with a meal. This makes it easy to link the intake to your regular meal times.
The plant sterols in this supplement are derived from pine. They are extracted from tall oil, a natural oil released during the processing of pine wood.
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a citrus fruit that mainly grows in Calabria, in southern Italy. The fruit is greenish-yellow and tastes sour and slightly bitter. Bergamot is best known for the oil from its peel, which is used, among other things, to flavour Earl Grey tea.
Bergamonte® is the name of an extract made from the whole bergamot fruit. The extract is standardised to at least 30% flavonoids.
Flavonoids are natural plant compounds found in, among other things, fruit, vegetables, tea and cocoa. They give many plants their colour. Citrus fruits are a well-known source of flavonoids.
Bergamot contains, among others, naringin, neohesperidin and neoeriocitrin, which are also found in other citrus fruits. In addition, bergamot contains melitidin and brutieridin, two flavonoids characteristic of this fruit.
This means that the extract always contains at least 30% flavonoids. Per serving of 500 mg bergamot extract that is at least 150 mg. Thanks to this standardisation, the composition is consistent per batch.
Plant sterols, also called phytosterols, are substances naturally present in plants. They are an integral part of the cell walls of plants and therefore are found in many plant-based foods.
