Bergamot, the main ingredient in CitruLife, has been clinically tested for its effectiveness at lowering cholesterol. Who would have thought that extract from a citrus fruit would improve heart health? The clinical study’s 82 participants all had total cholesterol and triglyceride levels of 250 or higher. Most medical professionals consider cholesterol and triglyceride levels higher than 240 to be dangerous and at high risk for either heart disease or a heart attack. Bergamot was shown to dramatically improve the study’s participants’ cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
