Why the extract matters

Commercial extracts differ in flavonoid content, concentration, and standardization. A label naming bergamot alone does not describe the same preparation used in a trial. 1

What amounts were studied?

The 2026 review included preparations supplying 200–1,300 mg daily for 4–24 weeks. Because the products differed, this range describes the research rather than a recommended dose. 2
