HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Citrus Bergamot Extract 1400 mg by Nutrivein

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: bergamot fruit extract at 1,400 mg per capsule. Bergamot is a citrus fruit sometimes used to support cholesterol and heart health.

The capsule also contains methylcellulose, an inactive ingredient used as a binder.

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, Impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), Metabolic syndrome, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), Obesity, 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 extract centers on cholesterol and lipid health, where it's rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). For mental alertness, the data shows it as possibly ineffective.

There isn't enough reliable evidence yet to rate whether it works for nonalcoholic 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.

The oral extract appears generally well tolerated in short-term use, though one person in clinical trials reported heartburn. Topical application is a different story — bergamot on skin can cause blisters, redness, photosensitivity, and skin lesions, especially in fair-skinned people or with sun exposure.

Important: the essential oil is toxic if swallowed, so this supplement form (the extract) is what's meant for oral use. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, so the data advises against it.

The same goes for breastfeeding — safety is unknown, so avoiding it is the safer choice if you're nursing.

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 with us before starting if you take photosensitizing drugs (medications that make your skin more sun-sensitive) or antidiabetes medications. Both interactions are rated Moderate, and the concern is real enough that your pharmacist should review your exact prescriptions.

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.

If you're managing high cholesterol and want to explore what the evidence suggests, bergamot extract may be worth discussing with your doctor. Before you start, check whether you're on any blood-sugar medications or drugs that increase sun sensitivity.

Talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant or breastfeeding — the safety data advises against use in both cases.

Organic Citrus Bergamot Extract 1400 mg by Nutrivein: Common Questions

Does Organic Citrus Bergamot Extract 1400 mg by Nutrivein interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Citrus Bergamot Extract 1400 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?
Organic Citrus Bergamot Extract 1400 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.
Will this supplement help my cholesterol?
Bergamot extract is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol based on the evidence we have. That means some studies support it, but the data isn't conclusive. Your doctor can help you figure out if it's right for you alongside other steps you're taking.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
When taken by mouth, bergamot extract is generally well tolerated. One person in trials reported heartburn. If you apply bergamot to your skin, you're at risk for redness, blisters, and photosensitivity (especially in sun), so the capsule form keeps it internal and avoids that.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against bergamot during pregnancy because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for advice specific to your situation.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoiding it is the safer choice. If you're nursing and interested in taking it, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What does bergapten do, and why should I care?
Bergapten is a natural compound in bergamot with photosensitizing effects — it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. That's why this supplement could theoretically increase side effects if you're also taking medications that do the same thing. If you're on a photosensitizing drug, check with us before starting.
Does this have any fillers or extra ingredients?
The capsule contains methylcellulose as an inactive ingredient to hold it together. That's it besides the bergamot extract — no unnecessary additives.
