SOLARAY Bergamot 500 mg - Citrus Bergamot Supplement for an Active Lifestyle - Standardized to 25% Flavonoids - with Berberine HCl from Indian Barberry - Vegan, 60-Day Guarantee, 30 Serv, 60 VegCaps

I began taking this supplement after blood tests showed my total cholesterol was 244. Doctor suggested I begin taking statins, and I said “no thanks”. Three months after beginning Bergamot, my cholesterol is 210! (I also watch my diet. No more French fries, less red meat, cut down on cheese and other high fat foods, etc.) I eat lot’s of avocado and have oatmeal several times a week.

This Bergamot supplement, 500 mg twice a day, has lowered my bad cholesterol by 30 %. A great alternative to statin drugs

good

I have been taking this for at least 3 months now and finally had a blood test to see if it's having any effects. my cholesterol over the years was pretty high over all due to heredity. I currently take a low dose of crestor that I've been on for about 3 years now, it dropped my 'bad' cholesterol dramatically and on the last 2 tests my cholesterol levels have stayed pretty flat. I got this and started taking one caplet in the morning w/some light food and then one in the evening usually with or after dinner. There's been some days here and there I forgot. I have not modified my diet and if anything it's probably worse than normal. This seems to have the following effects: my overall number is about the same however triglycerides are down 12 points, LDL is up 5, HDL is down 5, and CHOL/HDLC ratio is essentially the same. Seems like overall is this positive so I'm going to stay on for a while longer and see what happens. I have noticed that if I take it without food I do get a belly-ache after a while so I'll usually have a boiled egg at minimum. will update again at a later date. I hope this helps someone make a decision to try it or not.

Lowered my LDL and HDL. I wish it only lowered LDL , but I’m very happy that LDLIs lower!

Just bought this product and took my first dose yesterday. Thought about sending the product back because of the OLD, DISTASTEFUL smell. Checked where product was made and decided to keep it since it was manufactured in the Western USA. I'm wondering if anyone else was turned off by the smell? Simply don't know if it's the product itself and it's old, or that it's just the way it smells.2-11-2025 - Taking this product as suggested. Having my annual blood work done this week. Will see if the LDL has gone in the right direction. I have high hopes! Will post the negative or positive soon.

This product also contains Berberine. An effective combination for optimizing blood lipids, providing support for blood sugar, and more.

A year ago I went into my doctor's office and he told me my LDL cholesterol was at 120. I went again 6 months later and it had gone to 118. I was a little disappointed with that so I was searching for a way to get much better results. I did some research on cholesterol lowering supplements and bergamont came up. As well as niacin and fish oil. So about a month ago I started taking the combination of the 3. Today I went to my doctor and my cholesterol had dropped from 118 to 86! Back to normal. Now since I'm taking the combination of the 3 supplements I can't say how well bergamont contributed to the results but I was dumbfounded. In a 1 month period my cholesterol dropped 32 points. I also did change my eating habits a little but I still drink alcohol on the daily. But overall I'm very very happy with this product. I'm going to keep taking it for as long as I can
