Top 2 main features – And one lesser known feature
Main function 1 – Antioxidative support
Polyphenols from bergamot act as antioxidants and help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Main function 2 – Lipid metabolic support
Bergamot polyphenols have been studied in connection with the body's normal lipid metabolism and are often used in nutritional strategies with a focus on cholesterol balance.

Less known property – Endothelial function
Research indicates that flavonoids from bergamot can support normal endothelial function as part of the body's regulatory systems.
