• Bergamot for heart health and cholesterol management
• Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels by reducing total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, and increasing HDL
• Promotes the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels
• Flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support for healthy blood vessels

Many lifestyle factors, particularly diet, can contribute to cardiovascular health. The consumption of highly processed sugary foods, high in fat and low in fiber, has been associated with increased levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar.

While cholesterol is necessary for a number of physiological processes in the body, excessive amounts lead to atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the ratio of HDL is an equally important parameter concerning the risk of cholesterol-related health problems.

Traditional treatments aim to stop cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, which is the key enzyme. However, this approach does not increase HDL levels to remove excess cholesterol already present, it does not resolve glucose metabolism dysregulation, and it can lead to significant negative side effects. For these reasons, a multi-target approach would be more beneficial.

Cholesterol Control is Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), a citrus fruit with a diverse and highly concentrated flavonoid profile, making it very beneficial for many cardiovascular processes. Bergamot polyphenols have antioxidant properties. Some of the flavonoids in bergamot have a mechanism of action similar to that of conventional cholesterol-lowering drugs, while others offer the added benefit of also increasing HDL to trap free cholesterol. In addition, its antioxidant properties can prevent inflammation related to vascular damage, giving Cholesterol Control a holistic function in managing the risks associated with cardiovascular problems.

AOR's Cholesterol Control contains an exclusive bergamot extract that has been extensively researched for its cardiovascular benefits. Other products based on bergamot extracts may not have the same efficacy because they are not standardized for the same amounts of active ingredients as Cholesterol Control.
