MST® CITRUS BERGAMOT (Bergamot) 500 mg 90 Capsules: Metabolic support and lipid management
MST® CITRUS BERGAMOT 500 mg 90 Capsules is a premium food supplement containing a high-quality, standardized extract from the fruit of the Italian citrus fruit bergamot ( Citrus bergamia Risso ). Bergamot is a rich source of polyphenol compounds that naturally contribute to controlling cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood and supporting optimal vascular function. Manufactured to the highest EU standards ( MADE IN EU/GERMANY ) with guaranteed quality. You can buy Citrus Bergamot at the best price in the EU for comprehensive support of metabolic function and to strengthen the antioxidant protection of cells.
A Deeper Look at Citrus Bergamot
Bergamot, primarily cultivated in the Calabria region of Italy, is renowned for its unique polyphenol profile, which differs significantly from that of other citrus fruits. The active substances in the extract focus on biologically active flavonoids such as neohesperidin , naringin , and rutin , as well as the key components brutieridin and melitidin . These two compounds play a vital role in regulating lipid metabolism. Unlike synthetic substances, the active components of bergamot influence multiple metabolic pathways , effectively supporting lipid profile and vascular function.
The advantage of the standardized extract for the EU
The effectiveness of bergamot citrus supplements depends directly on the concentration and standardization of the active polyphenols. MST® Citrus Bergamot uses an extract that guarantees a high content of bioactive compounds to achieve scientifically proven results. Standardization ensures that each capsule contains a precise and effective dose of flavonoids. This reliably supports endothelial function, combats oxidative stress , and contributes to the normalization of blood glucose levels , which is important for maintaining metabolic function.
Comprehensive support for metabolic function
Regular intake of bergamot citrus extract is a modern approach to managing metabolic indicators . The active compounds in bergamot support metabolism not only by correcting the lipid profile, but also thanks to their potent anti-inflammatory effects and their ability to improve cellular insulin sensitivity . Thus, the active substances in bergamot citrus contribute to maintaining energy balance, arterial elasticity , and the body's overall metabolic equilibrium .

📚 Studies on the effects of citrus bergamot ingredients
Scientific data supporting the key functions of Citrus Bergamot extract
Numerous clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of bergamot polyphenols in reducing metabolic risk markers.
-
Lipid profile control (cholesterol regulation):
-
Key flavonoids (brutieridin and melitidin) act as natural inhibitors of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase [1] (similar to statins), thereby reducing the body's own cholesterol synthesis [1].
-
Clinical meta-analyses show a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride levels [1, 2].
-
The active compounds of bergamot also contribute to increasing HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, which has a positive effect on overall lipid metabolism [1].
-
Studies confirm that bergamot extract can be an effective natural remedy to support lipid metabolism in cases of disorder [2].
-
-
Support for vascular function and the endothelium:
-
Bergamot polyphenols possess strong antioxidant properties that protect the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) from damage caused by free radicals [3].
-
Active components contribute to improving endothelial function and to the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), which is important for regulating vascular tone and maintaining arterial elasticity [3].
-
Reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol is crucial to prevent lipid modification in the vessel wall [2, 3].
-
-
Support for glycemic control:
-
Bergamot has been shown to improve tissue insulin sensitivity and promote glucose uptake by cells [4].
-
Clinical data suggest a potential reduction in fasting blood glucose levels in patients with metabolic disorders [4].
-
This effect is promising for the complex support of metabolic balance [4].
-
-
Anti-inflammatory effect:
-
Bergamot flavonoids actively modulate inflammatory markers , including by reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) and other systemic inflammatory indicators [5].
-
Reducing chronic inflammation is an important factor in lowering metabolic risk [5].
-
-
Supporting liver function:
-
The active substances of bergamot may be beneficial for people with disorders of fat metabolism in the liver [6].
-
The extract's ability to lower triglycerides and improve lipid metabolism contributes to the reduction of lipid accumulation in liver cells (hepatocytes) [6].
-
This provides additional support for metabolic processes in the liver [6].
