AOR AOR - Cholesterol Control 500mg, 60 vcap
AOR Cholesterol Control - A Bergamot supplement for the maintenance of healthy cholesterol and heart health. Bergamot is a citrus fruit that contains diverse and highly concentrated flavonoid profile, making it very beneficial for a number of cardiovascular processes. The polyphenols in bergamot contain properties common to other citrus flavonoids, ie. antioxidant properties. Some of the flavonoids in Bergamot have a similar mechanism of action as classic treatment used by cholesterol lowering drugs, with the other flavonoids providing added benefit of also increasing HDL to scavenge free cholesterol.

Why people keep reordering it
Best suited to: already eating well and wants extra cardiovascular support, prefers a citrus-derived flavonoid over synthetic options.
What the research supports
Two capsules a day give 1000 mg of bergamot extract standardized to 25 to 28% bioflavonoids. The 60-capsule bottle lasts a month.
Cholesterol trials typically use 500 to 1000 mg of bergamot extract daily.
- Cholesterol balance (evidence: moderate, from small human rcts)
- Bergamot's flavonoids appear to influence how the liver manages cholesterol, and trials using 500 to 1000 mg daily over 8 to 12 weeks report shifts in LDL and HDL balance.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- already eating well and wants extra cardiovascular support
- the 1000 mg daily dose of bergamot flavonoids is in the range studied for helping maintain cholesterol already within a normal range
- prefers a citrus-derived flavonoid over synthetic options
- bergamot extract here is standardized to 25-28% bioflavonoids, a plant-based concentrate rather than an isolated compound
Look elsewhere if
- someone with significantly elevated cholesterol numbers
- that calls for direct guidance from a health care practitioner, not a flavonoid supplement alone
- wants a fast, dramatic shift in blood lipid numbers
- look at dietary changes and practitioner-guided options first, since bergamot works gradually over weeks
What to expect
Most people taking bergamot extract for cholesterol support report changes over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use, not days. There's nothing to feel directly, this works on blood lipid levels that you'd only notice through bloodwork.
How it compares
- Compared with plain citrus bioflavonoid blends (like hesperidin or rutin alone)
- bergamot's flavonoid profile is more concentrated and specific to this fruit, with a mechanism thought to also raise HDL The tradeoff: bergamot extract typically costs more per capsule than generic citrus bioflavonoid powders
