 How Does Citrus Bergamot Work?
Citrus Bergamot works by blocking a key enzyme in the production of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is a natural product of the liver and in the right amounts does not pose a problem to the body.
The body sometimes produces too much cholesterol. Citrus Bergamot works to inhibit the HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyglutaryl COA) reductase, an enzyme linked to cholesterol production in the liver. HMG-CoA reductase is active when blood glucose is high. Thus, by supporting healthy blood sugar levels, Citrus Bergamot also indirectly affects the activity of HMG-CoA reductase.
