Bergamot Polyphenolic Fraction ®100% (BPF®) improves overall biomarkers of hyperlipemia via reduction of serum cholesterol, triglicerydes, LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) and small dense lipoproteins and increased HDL (the “good” cholesterol).
BPF ® exerts also a positive effect in the maintenance of normal serum glucose concentrations by reducing insulin-resistance.
BPF ® is the most widely studied extract of the Bergamot fruit’s juice and albedo, which has a unique profile of flavonoids and glycosides, such as neoeriocitrin, neohesperidin, naringin, rutin, neodesmin, rhoifolin, and poncirin. These flavonoids are clinically proven to help maintain healthy cholesterol, and promote healthy weight management. Recent studies showed that the Bergamot Polyphenolic Fraction (BPF ®) represents a viable alternative to statins in patients who are intolerant to these drugs or in subjects who discontinue the treatment due to side effects. It has been proved that BPF ® counteracts oxidative stress and suppresses inflammation in endothelial cells, thus inhibits plaque formation, and improvs arterial responsiveness.
High cholesterol represents the most relevant risk factor for developing Coronary Artery Disease and Stroke.
Current Pharmacological Treatment of High Cholesterol is effective in reducing Cardiovascular Risk but is accompanied by relevant side effects.
