Bergamot Extract – Standardised to 35% Polyphenols

Bergamot extract (20:1) 750mg from EssentialSeries is a food supplement made from 20:1 bergamot fruit extract (Citrus bergamia), standardised to 35% polyphenols.

Bergamot is a citrus fruit native to southern Italy, especially cultivated in the region of Calabria, where it has been valued for centuries. Its traditional use dates back to the popular customs of Mediterranean culture, where it was mainly used in infusions and tinctures. Moreover, its distinctive aroma made it a key ingredient in perfumery and the creation of the famous Earl Grey tea. Throughout history, bergamot has been appreciated not only for its fragrance and flavour, but also for its polyphenol-rich composition and other natural compounds found in the fruit, which is why its extracts are used as food supplements.

Make the most of HSN's highly concentrated bergamot extract with assured polyphenol content.

Standardisation – Why is it important?

The standardisation of a herbal extract is key to ensuring its quality, as it guarantees a uniform concentration of the product’s active compounds. Unlike raw plants, whose levels of active ingredients can vary depending on climate, soil or cultivation method, a standardised extract maintains a consistent composition, allowing for accurate dosing. This is especially important in food supplements, where use is based on specific dosing of the bioactive compounds in each species.

20 Times More Concentrated – The Finest Raw Material

Besides standardisation, the concentration of bergamot fruit is essential to determine the potency of the extract. Depending on the conditions under which an extract is prepared, more or less of the raw plant (in this case, bergamot fruit) is needed to obtain a specific amount of extract.

In our case, we’ve assessed aspects such as concentration, standardisation, and extraction methods to obtain a raw material of the highest quality. Here, it’s 20 times more concentrated, meaning that the recommended daily dose of two capsules providing 1500mg of extract equals no less than 30 grams of raw fruit.
