Jarrow Formulas Citrus Bergamot Herbal Supplement 500 Mg 60 Count

Seems to be good. Feeling better after two week.

The product is good but too expensive. I had bought the same product of the same company with 120 capsules at a much more competitive price.

Great product

September 2022 : Total Cholesterol: 259, HDL 42, LDL 177. Jan 2023 after 3 months taking 1 cap for the first two months, then 2 caps for the last month (December) -> Total Cholesterol went down a bit but not into normal range as 243, HDL 44, LDL 171. Total cholesterol down by just 16 mg/dl (6%) lower, HDL a little higher. Sep 2022: Triglycerides 235, Jan 2023: 142. Lower by 40%, 93 mg/dl, into normal range. Very happy about that as well as my A1C on September 2022 was 6 then my A1C on January 2023 went down to 5.6 into normal range. I take 2 caps of fish oil daily, together with a very healthy balance diet, no sweets, no drinking, no refined carbs. I Walk 30 minutes or more a day, and also do Yoga. My weight in September was 148 pounds, my current weight is 138 pounds. I am 5'.5", on my fifties. My doctor recommended to keep going with my healthy eating plan and exercising every day then I will have a follow up again in 4 months. At this point due to the positive changes on my blood work, and after my doctor evaluate my individual risk, no statins are prescribed. I am happy about that. He recommended to stop taking this supplement, but I will continue taking one cap a day until my next blood work in 4 months. Cholesterol levels did not get as low as I was expecting, nevertheless, I see improvement, but A1C and triglycerides are back to normal range. Note: genetic Cholesterol runs in my family, and it seems that I produce Cholesterol. I am just posting my own experience taking this supplement. Not submitting any recommendation to anyone else. This is just my personal review.

I had high cholesterol, particularly triglycerides for several years. Was on meds for that. Didn't want to be on drugs, so lost the weight (20 lbs), started exercising better and cleaned up my diet. Lowered it enough to get off the meds, but still was high-normal. Started taking bergamot (1 per day, w/evening meal). Even though I gained back 8 lbs during the winter when I couldn't get outside and exercise as much (and had a nerve issue/injury that kept my exercising to a minimum for a couple months, and slacked off a bit on diet (not too bad, but lots of visits with family during that time), my most cholesterol check was great! Better than it ever has been. Triglycerides and bad cholesterol were great. (Good cholesterol was also great.) There is no magic "cure" for high cholesterol. If you want off drugs, you have to do your part. Lose the weight, do the exercise, fix the diet and take safe supplements like bergamot! If you do some research, you will find that bergamot is prescribed by doctors in Europe for cholesterol. There have been lots of studies even here in the USA that agree. However, due to the corrupt system here, we will probably never see this used as a "modern" medical treatment for cholesterol in the USA. Doesn't make $ for the pharma industry or medical industry.

Has anyone else experienced nausea at anytime when taking this product? After taking it for a few weeks, I started getting pretty nauseous the next morning after having taken an evening dose with dinner. Mind you, I didn't know until after doing some research that it should be taken 30 minutes before eating (which isn't specifically stated on the bottle, btw), although not sure why it's prior to meals rather than with meals. Anyway, the times I would take it with a meal (because I forgot to take it before), is when the nausea would set in the next morning after breakfast. I tested my theory of what might be causing this by first eliminating anything else it could be food-wise/beverage-wise, eating the same breakfast the next day each time, drinking the same morning coffee, etc. I then experimented with taking the supplement 30 mins prior to my evening meal vs. with the meal. Every time I took it with my meal, the nausea would return the next morning. When I took it at least 30 mins prior to the meal, no nausea the next day. I can't figure out why the nausea would be delayed if this is in fact the cause, but I'd sure be interested to know if anyone else has had a problem with this at anytime after starting citrus bergamot.
