Supports healthy cholesterol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As most of us know, out-of-control cholesterol is not a good thing. Above-normal levels (200 mg\/dL) can contribute to heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in the U.S., according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/cholesterol\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Still, nearly two in five American adults have high cholesterol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various studies, including one published in the journal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6497409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrative Food, Nutrition, and Metabolism<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have shown that bergamot can offer cholesterol benefits. Bergamot\u2019s positive impact, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vitamin Shoppe nutritionist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rebekah Blakely, R.D.N., is thanks to the polyphenols found in it.

One of their many perks? They support balanced cholesterol levels. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6497409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that citrus bergamot promotes both healthy LDL cholesterol levels and total cholesterol levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Promotes healthy blood sugar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/healthy-blood-sugar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balanced blood sugar<\/a> is important for maintaining energy levels and supporting the organ function necessary for avoiding long-term illnesses such as diabetes or kidney disease, per the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/diabetes\/managing\/manage-blood-sugar.html#:~:text=It's%20important%20to%20keep%20your,improve%20your%20energy%20and%20mood.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cElevated blood sugar, known as hyperglycemia, occurs when a person consumes too much sugar in their diet, exceeding the body&#8217;s ability to process it,\u201d explains Canada-based naturopathic doctor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarahconnorsnd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah Connors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, N.D. \u201cLuckily, a flavonoid found in citrus bergamot, called naringin, has been shown to promote balanced blood sugar.\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5741859\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believe that naringin works in the body to improve glucose sensitivity and glucose tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.

Interestingly, citrus bergamot shows promise for its ability to support a healthy liver. In fact, some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lipidjournal.com\/article\/S1933-2874(15)00171-3\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Journal of Clinical Lipidology<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that bergamot extract may have notable benefits for this important organ.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Boosts mood<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a quick detour to address another form of citrus bergamot you may be familiar with: its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/essential-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential oil<\/a>. According to Blakely, just a few drops of citrus bergamot oil (typically sold as just &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/bergamot-essential-oil\/vs-3931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bergamot oil<\/a>&#8220;), whether in a diffuser or simply dripped onto your pillow, may help boost your mood when you\u2019re stressed and even help you drift off to sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/how-to-balance-mood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Balance Your Mood Through Times Of Change<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the exact mechanism of action here isn\u2019t <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quite<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so clear, research suggests that bergamot oil <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aromatherapy<\/a> works to manage cortisol levels in the body. In fact, one study found that people who relaxed with bergamot essential oil aromatherapy experienced notable drops in cortisol levels. What\u2019s more, one recent study published in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34690334\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Nursing Research<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the effects of bergamot oil aromatherapy on women in the year after giving birth, found that it helped alleviate low moods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to add citrus bergamot to your routine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on why you\u2019re interested in it, you can choose to add citrus bergamot into your day either in the form of an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/citrus-bergamot-500-mg-60-capsules\/vs-0366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ingestible supplement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/bergamot-essential-oil\/vs-3931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">essential oil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to reap bergamot\u2019s cholesterol, blood sugar, and liver benefits, an oral supplement is the way to go. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/lp\/nutritionists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vitamin Shoppe nutritionist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brittany Michels, R.D.N., L.D.N., C.P.T., it\u2019s essential to choose a reputable company and a product that provides 500 milligrams of citrus bergamot extract, which should be standardized for polyphenol, flavanone, and flavone content. This ensures you\u2019re getting enough of those beneficial compounds for your supplement to actually have a positive effect, she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of its impact on blood sugar, just be mindful of taking citrus bergamot in conjunction with any blood sugar medications, Blakely suggests. \u201cMake sure to monitor your blood sugar carefully and inform your doctor of supplement use.\u201d Those with low blood sugar may be best off avoiding bergamot.
