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.

The one active ingredient is citrus bergamot fruit extract, which is the source of this product's bergamot content. Its role is the reason the product is studied for cholesterol-related and other uses, and it is also the ingredient behind the interaction and safety concerns on this page.

The gummies also contain inactive ingredients, which are not active but help form and flavor the gummy: tapioca, sugar, medium chain triglyceride oil, pectin, tapioca starch, citric acid, sunflower lecithin, orange flavor, FD&C Yellow #6, and purified water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports energy levels.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

For hyperlipidemia (high levels of fats like cholesterol in the blood), bergamot is rated Possibly Effective. For mental alertness, it is rated Possibly Ineffective.

For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autism spectrum disorder, the reliable evidence is insufficient to rate it, so we cannot say whether it helps.

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.

Taken by mouth, the extract appears generally well tolerated when used short-term. A single case of heartburn was reported in clinical research.

Bergamot essential oil is different: it can be toxic if swallowed and can cause sun-related skin reactions. Frequent contact with the peel or oil can cause skin irritation and pigment spots, and photosensitivity can occur, especially in fair-skinned people.

In pregnancy, bergamot is rated Possibly Unsafe, so the safety data advises against it. The safety data also says breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoiding it is considered the safer choice.

Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist about your situation.

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.

Double-check photosensitizing drugs first, which are rated Moderate for a higher skin sensitivity to sunlight. Also review antidiabetes drugs, which are rated Moderate for a possible increase in the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Confirm your exact medications with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Bergamot may be worth a conversation if you are looking into cholesterol support, since that is the use with the most supportive rating in our data. If you take photosensitizing drugs or antidiabetes drugs, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, be careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
