GN Citrus Bergamot 90 Capsules

Each GN Citrus Bergamot capsule contains 500 mg of citrus bergamot extract, of which 35% are polyphenols. This equates to 175 mg of polyphenols per capsule.
For daily intake, 1-3 capsules are recommended, taken throughout the day with plenty of fluids.

Taking Citrus Bergamot extract, as contained in GN Citrus Bergamot capsules, has significant effects on the cardiovascular system and lipid profile. This effect is primarily due to the high content of specific polyphenolic flavonoids (such as neoeriocitrin, naringin, and neohesperidin).
Influence on cholesterol levels: Citrus Bergamot affects cholesterol metabolism on two levels. First, the flavonoids it contains inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in the liver. This is the same mechanism of action used by statins to reduce the body's own cholesterol production, although the effect of bergamot is more natural and usually has fewer side effects. Second, it promotes the excretion of cholesterol via bile.
In clinical observations, this regularly leads to:
- A reduction in LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol).
- A reduction in blood triglyceride levels.
- An increase in HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol), which supports the removal of deposits from the blood vessels.
Effects on the cardiovascular system:
In addition to simply correcting blood lipid levels, Citrus Bergamot supports the cardiovascular system through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The flavonoids protect the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) from oxidative stress. This prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol—a crucial step in the development of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
Furthermore, Citrus Bergamot improves endothelial function, which promotes the elasticity of blood vessels and can have a positive effect on blood pressure. Another relevant aspect is its positive influence on blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, which indirectly protects heart health, as chronically high blood sugar levels damage the vessel walls.
In summary, the product serves to optimize the lipid profile and to protect blood vessels from degenerative changes. However, it does not replace medically prescribed therapy for existing diseases, but rather functions as a dietary supplement.

Yes, GN Citrus Bergamot can support metabolism and weight management because the polyphenols it contains promote the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme acts as a central metabolic regulator in the body, controlling the energy balance of cells. AMPK activation improves glucose uptake into the muscles and stimulates fatty acid oxidation, i.e., fat burning, while simultaneously inhibiting the synthesis of new fats. This process helps stabilize blood sugar levels and makes overall energy metabolism more efficient, which can have a beneficial effect on weight control and the reduction of body fat.

Yes, GN Citrus Bergamot is very well suited to supporting antioxidant defenses due to its high content of standardized polyphenols. These compounds effectively protect cells from oxidative stress and free radicals. Furthermore, the extract contributes to maintaining healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, as well as overall cardiovascular health.
