Swanson Vitamins Bergamot Extract (30 capsules) contains 500 mg of bergamot fruit extract (Citrus bergamia) per capsule, standardised to 25% flavonoids. Bergamot is a fragrant citrus fruit that looks like a cross between an orange and a lemon. The capsule is plant-based and therefore suitable for vegetarians. The recommended dose is 1 capsule per day, to be taken with water.
Bergamot, in Latin Citrus bergamia, is a citrus fruit that looks like a cross between an orange and a lemon. The fruit is considered too sour and bitter to eat directly.
Bergamot originally occurs in southern Italy, especially in the Calabria region, where the fruit has been cultivated for centuries.
Bergamot's essential oil has traditionally been used in the perfume industry and in cooking, where the oil is added for aroma and flavour, including in Earl Grey tea.
This means that the bergamot fruit extract has a guaranteed content of 25% flavonoids. This standardisation ensures the composition of the extract remains consistent between different batches.
Flavonoids are a group of naturally occurring plant compounds present in many types of fruit and vegetables, including citrus fruits such as bergamot.
