Not worth it 2 out of 5 stars. Letig - 6 months ago. Container is maybe half full, and is already hardened upon opening; difficult to scoop. It does dissolve in room temp water and taste is ok. Seems wildly overpriced! The real deal for regularity!!

Citrus Bergamot has been scientifically reported to improve blood lipids by reducing LDL bad cholesterol levels while also increasing HDL good cholesterol levels. This can help to support healthy cardiovascular function and reduce the risk of heart disease. Numerous bioactive compounds, including brutieridin, melitidin, and other flavonoids, flavones, O-glucosides, and C-glucosides give citrus bergamot its health promoting properties.

In addition to its cholesterol-lowering effects, citrus bergamot has been shown to have a range of other health benefits, including healthy blood sugar levels, improved digestion, and weight loss support.

HD Muscle Citrus Bergamot is formulated using a patented pharmaceutical grade bergamot extract called Bergavit® Citrus juice increased recovered catechin levels by more than five times, the study found.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, used to increase shelf life in ready-to-drink products, increased recovered levels of the two most abundant catechins by sixfold and fold, respectively. The study, published this month in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, also found that soy, dairy and rice milk appeared to have moderate stabilizing effects.

But Ferruzzi said the result is misleading; a chemical interaction between milk proteins and tea catechins apparently helps shelter the complex from degradation, a force likely overcome by enzymes within a healthy human digestive system.

Lemons and tea go even better together than their popularity might suggest. Lemon juice caused 80 percent of tea's catechins to remain, the study found. Following lemon, in terms of stabilizing power, were orange, lime and grapefruit juices.

Ferruzzi said both vitamin C and citrus juices must interact with catechins to prevent their degradation in the intestines, although data made it clear that citrus juices have stabilizing effects beyond what would be predicted solely based on their vitamin C content.

Ready-to-drink green tea products should optimally contain mg of catechins, but oftentimes do not have sufficient levels of tea extract since some people do not like green tea's flavor, Ferruzzi said.

Although this study only examined green tea, Ferruzzi said he suspects that some of the results also could apply to black tea, which is produced by fermenting green tea. Many prefer black tea's flavor, although it contains lower total levels of catechins.

Studies have shown catechins from the green tea plant, Camellia sinensis, are able to detoxify toxic chemicals, inhibit cancer cell activity and stimulate production of immune-strengthening enzymes.

Finding methods to improve uptake of these catechins may, therefore, be important in improving health, part of the study's goal, Ferruzzi said. Ferruzzi currently is conducting an in vivo study, or study on a live organism, to quantify the ability of juices and vitamin C to increase levels of catechins in the intestines and bloodstream of animals and, by extension, in humans.

With all the health promoting qualities mentioned above, we cannot ignore the beneficial effects of a well-known macronutrient, the Dietary Fiber. Dietary Fiber is a type of complex carbohydrate found in plant foods.

It is made of many sugar molecules linked together in a way that cannot be entirely digested in the small intestine. Dietary fiber can be divided into two types: soluble and insoluble fiber, and citrus fruits contain some of each kind. Soluble fiber can help lower LDL cholesterol, consequently reducing cardiovascular disease.

This type of fiber can also help improve glucose control by slowing the absorption of sugar resulting in better blood sugar levels. Insoluble fiber can help relieve constipation by helping food move more efficiently through digestive system and increases stool bulk.

Citrus fruits are also abundant in multiple other nutrients, including potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, riboflavin and pantothenic acid, making consumption of citrus fruits as part of a balanced diet is essential to our health.

However, it is important to note that certain citrus fruits can interact with medications. Grapefruit, pomelo and orange fruits and fruit juices can be a problem when taking some prescription medications. Those fruits can affect how the medication works by affecting absorption, distribution and metabolism of certain medications.

If you are taking medications, please consult your healthcare provider before adding those fruits to your diet. Otherwise, grab a slice of citrus and let their powers set to work! Citrus fruits go well in almost any meal.
