HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Citrs Bergamot Gummies by aSquared Nutrition

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has one active ingredient: citrus bergamot fruit extract. Bergamot is a citrus fruit, and the extract in these gummies is the concentrated form used in the formulation.

The remaining ingredients are typical gummy components—tapioca, sugar, pectin, and other inactive binders and flavorings that give the gummy its texture and taste.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Bergamot's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports energy levels.
  • We looked for evidence on: Mental alertness, fatigue, energy metabolism, daytime energy.
  • The closest evidence on file: Bergamot is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Mental alertness (Natural Medicines).

The data we hold shows bergamot is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). For mental alertness, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and autism spectrum disorder, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it one way or the other. If you're considering this for cholesterol support, it may help—but talk with your doctor about where it fits in your overall plan.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bergamot

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bergamot extract taken by mouth appears generally well tolerated in the short term, though one person in clinical research reported heartburn. The safety data does advise against bergamot during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

On the topical side (oils or direct peel contact), bergamot can cause skin reactions like blisters, rash, and photosensitivity, especially in fair-skinned people—but these gummies are for oral use, not topical.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bergamot

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Bergamot.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 410 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any photosensitizing drugs (Moderate severity)—bergamot can increase sun sensitivity. Also flag antidiabetes medications (Moderate severity), since bergamot may lower blood sugar.

Use the medication checker below with your complete list before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

These gummies may help with cholesterol levels based on the evidence we hold. If you take diabetes medications or photosensitizing drugs, check with your pharmacist first—the interactions are moderate but real.

Citrs Bergamot Gummies by aSquared Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Citrs Bergamot Gummies by aSquared Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Citrs Bergamot Gummies has a known interaction with 410 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Citrs Bergamot Gummies contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take these if I'm diabetic?
Animal research suggests bergamot may lower blood sugar, so there's a Moderate-severity interaction risk with diabetes drugs. Don't start without talking to your pharmacist or doctor—they can help you figure out if it's right for you and whether your medication needs adjusting.
Will these help my cholesterol?
The evidence shows bergamot is possibly effective for high cholesterol, so these gummies might help. Results vary person to person, and it works best as part of a complete plan with diet and exercise—ask your doctor if it's a good fit for you.
Is it safe to take while I'm pregnant or nursing?
No. The safety data advises against bergamot during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives that are right for you during this time.
Can I use this if I'm on a medication that makes me sensitive to sun?
Not without checking first. Bergamot contains bergapten, which increases sun sensitivity on its own. Combined with a photosensitizing drug, that risk goes up (Moderate severity). Your pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe for you or if you need to take extra precautions.
What side effects might I get from taking these?
Taken by mouth, bergamot extract is generally well tolerated. One person in clinical research reported heartburn. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and reach out to your pharmacist or doctor.
