Key Takeaways

Several studies show bergamot lowers total cholesterol, bad LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

In one study total cholesterol levels declined from 12% to 31%. Bad, LDL levels were reduced between 7% and 41% and triglycerides declined from between 11 and 40%. This is a wide range and tells us individual results may vary.

In another study, while bergamot did lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, the levels would still be considered high on blood tests.

Some research suggests bergamot may lower blood sugar too. This may benefit those with metabolic syndrome (pre-diabetes).

One study revealed bergamot leads to reductions in abdominal fat.

Not all studies show bergamot works. Some reviews point out shortcomings with how the research was conducted. Thus, better studies are needed.
