HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Citrus Bergamot Extract 2000 mg by tnvitamins

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 Fruit Extract at 2000 mg per capsule. Bergamot is a citrus fruit sometimes used for cholesterol and liver support.

The capsules also contain magnesium stearate and gelatin as inactive ingredients.

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 support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hyperlipidemia, Metabolic syndrome, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Obesity, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Cholesterol management — and 1 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.

The evidence for bergamot is mixed. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), it's rated possibly effective — meaning there's some promising research, but it's not conclusive.

For mental alertness, it's rated possibly ineffective. For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and autism spectrum disorder, we don't hold enough reliable evidence to rate it either way.

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.

Oral bergamot extract is generally well tolerated short-term, though one person in clinical trials reported heartburn. The essential oil is different — it can be toxic if swallowed and can cause sun-related skin damage when applied to skin.

Because of bergapten (a photosensitizing compound), topical bergamot can trigger blisters, redness, and discoloration, especially in fair-skinned people. The safety data advises against bergamot during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe, so it's best to avoid it.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bergamot

Meds to double-check

Why this rating?

  • 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 taking this product, check any photosensitizing drugs (moderate severity) and antidiabetes medications (moderate severity) you take against the interaction checker on this page.

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 interested in cholesterol support and have talked it over with your pharmacist. Anyone taking diabetes medications or using photosensitizing drugs should check their exact medications against our interaction tool first.

Citrus Bergamot Extract 2000 mg by tnvitamins: Common Questions

Does Citrus Bergamot Extract 2000 mg by tnvitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Citrus Bergamot Extract 2000 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 Extract 2000 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.
Does bergamot extract actually help with cholesterol?
The evidence says possibly effective — some research supports it, but we don't have enough data to be certain. It's worth discussing with your doctor alongside any medications you take for cholesterol.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
You'll need to check first. Animal research suggests bergamot can lower blood sugar, so it might increase your risk of low blood sugar if combined with diabetes drugs. Use the interaction tool with your exact medication, and ask your pharmacist.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data shows it's possibly unsafe during pregnancy, and safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so the safer choice is to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Can I use this if I take sun-sensitizing medications?
Bergamot contains bergapten, which makes skin more sensitive to sun. If you take a photosensitizing drug, combining them could increase your risk of sun damage. Check the interaction tool with your exact medication before starting.
What side effects should I watch for?
Oral extract is generally well tolerated short-term. One person in trials reported heartburn. If you apply bergamot to your skin, watch for redness, blisters, or dark spots — it's possibly unsafe topically and can cause photosensitivity.
