Citrus Bergamot Supplement - NSF Certified - Supports Healthy Cholesterol & Triglyceride Levels - 1000mg, 60 Capsules (Bergamonte Standardization) by Double Wood

Lowered my cholesterol a few points but not any higher so all good

With this supplement and English Breakfast tea with Bergamot my Cholesterol went down 20 points...I was high normal levels a year ago...now 20 points better!

A quality product from a good brand. I'll order again as needed.

I’ve been taking Citrus Bergamot for a couple years. I was taking a more expensive brand that also has Resveratrol & grape leaf extract. Then I saw this listing and decided to try it. I had no problems with it, per se, but, during the past few months while taking Double Wood I’ve also started hearing my blood pulsing in my ears. It's so loud, it's making me nuts! No need to hold my wrist or feel my neck to get a pulse, just listen and count. I've run out of Bergamot completely so, today instead of just re-ordering, I went looking to see what all is available, plus I did some online research on Resveratrol . A multitude of studies show there are definitely health benefits to taking a limited amt. Taking too much, such as a supplement on it’s own, can cause nausea, diarrhea & other gastro-intestinal issues, per the Cleveland Clinic. Not a good idea! I’ve ordered another bottle of Double Wood Citrus Bergamot that will be delivered today and I’m also ordering a bottle of the other one with the Resveratrol. It won’t arrive for another 10 days. When it does, I’ll switch and we'll see if the pulsing sound in my ears goes away. If it does, I’ll have my answer & I guess I go back to the more expensive brand with Resveratrol permanently. One thing I don't understand with both brands. They both say they're “NON-GMO” but neither one mentions "organic". Non-GMO doesn't mean we’re not getting pesticides--it just means it wasn't genetically altered. I don't know about you, but I don't want pesticides or any other "icides" with my food or supplements. I only found one brand that says it's “CERTIFIED” organic. We all know the supplement industry is swimming in profits, They sure as hell-o can afford to get their products certified, if they are, in fact, organic. I not, maybe they should source their plant ingredients elsewhere. Why would we want to spend good money on supplements to be healthier and poison ourselves at the same time? The FDA hasn’t done us any favors continuing to allow the use of chemicals on our food supply ( and, therefor, supplements) that have been banned in the rest of the world, or at least parts of it like the EU. And…. the FDA wonders why we’ve lost respect for them! They need to do their damn jobs and protect US —not the big chemical companies. I’ll update this review of Double Wood Bergamot in a couple mos. when I know what happens after switching back to theone with Resveratrol. Hmmm …It just occurred to me, that I really should probably switch to the organic one for the interim. But…. that completely changes my test and the validity of whether my switch to Double Wood caused the pulsing sound to begin with— assuming it goes away. I guess that’s the question and decision I need to make now. Do I want to stick with the non-GMO but also not organic Double Wood Bergamot or do I want to go with the organic brand that’s better for me, just for the sake of my experiment?

I never give reviews on items I buy. However, I just read another drs. Explanation on why I should buy his bergamot product and what it contains and why. I was just about to switch over from this product to his when I reread all the contents of Citrus Bergamot I’ve been using. It had everything listed on the bottle the other dr. Insisted was in his! So since this product is already lowering my cholesterol I’m not going to switch, but instead appreciate what I’ve already been using!

Seems to work

Pills are pretty large. They go down smoothly, no gross smell or taste. May be too soon but after 1 months taking them my blood works hasn’t shown any signs of improvement. My doctor told me this probably wouldn’t help my cholesterol.

It lowered my cholesterol.
