Citrus Bergamot
How come no one really talks about citrus bergamot? In terms of supplements to aid healthy in cholesterol levels, there aren't many things I would implement within myself or a clients protocol (citrus bergamot obviously being one I'd chose.) Citrus bergamot has statin like principles carrying the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG) moiety. It has four flavonoids that essentially interfere with the natural synthesis of cholesterol in human body, by inhibiting the activity of the first enzyme in the cholesterol synthesis pathway (HMG-CoA reductase.) I would personally rather see someone experiment with citrus bergamot over taking prescription statins, ESPECIALLY since it not only aids in lower LDL levels but also raising HDL levels, lowering anxiety, improving arterial functioning, and improving cardiovascular health.
