HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Citrus Bergamot Bergamonte 1,000 mg by NutraBio

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 contains one active ingredient: Citrus Bergamot Extract at 1,000 mg per capsule. Bergamot is a citrus fruit, and the extract concentrates its compounds.

The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients — hypromellose (the capsule material itself) and water.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Heart and metabolic health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hyperlipidemia, Metabolic syndrome, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Obesity, Cardiovascular health — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bergamot is rated "Possibly Effective" for Hyperlipidemia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bergamot is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Obesity, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome.

Research suggests bergamot extract is possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). The evidence for other uses is less clear: mental alertness rates as possibly ineffective, and we don't have enough reliable data to rate it for fatty liver disease or autism spectrum disorder.

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 in the short term, though one person in a clinical trial reported heartburn. The essential oil form is different — it can be toxic if swallowed and causes sun-related skin reactions, so don't confuse the two.

There isn't enough safety data to use bergamot during pregnancy or while breastfeeding; the data advises against it, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either 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.

Before you take this, check if you're on any antidiabetes medications or drugs that increase photosensitivity (sun sensitivity). Both carry Moderate-severity interaction risks.

Use the search tool on this page to verify your exact medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Bergamot extract may be worth considering if you're looking at natural approaches to cholesterol, but first check your current medications — especially diabetes drugs and anything that increases sun sensitivity. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or unsure about your specific drugs, chat with your pharmacist before starting.

Citrus Bergamot Bergamonte 1,000 mg by NutraBio: Common Questions

Does Citrus Bergamot Bergamonte 1,000 mg by NutraBio interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Citrus Bergamot Bergamonte 1,000 mg 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?
Citrus Bergamot Bergamonte 1,000 mg 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 Citrus Bergamot if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Bergamot may lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with antidiabetes drugs could increase your risk of low blood sugar. Use the medication checker below with your specific drugs, and talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
What side effects should I expect from the extract?
Taken by mouth, it's generally well tolerated. One person in a trial reported heartburn. Don't confuse this extract with bergamot essential oil — the oil can be toxic if swallowed and cause serious sun-related skin damage.
Is it safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data, so the evidence advises against it in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options for your needs.
Does it actually work for cholesterol?
Research suggests it's possibly effective for high cholesterol, so there's some promise there. For other uses — like mental sharpness or fatty liver — the evidence is either too weak or hasn't been established yet.
What if I'm taking a medication that makes me photosensitive?
Bergamot contains a compound that increases sun sensitivity, so combining it with a photosensitizing drug could raise your risk of severe sunburn or skin damage. Check your medications with the tool on this page, and ask your pharmacist if any of your drugs fall into that category.
