For dyslipidemia, Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) earns evidence grade C (unclear effect, mixed consistency) — the evidence is limited or mixed. Adjunct

Its flavonoids inhibit cholesterol synthesis and improve lipid handling, with statin-like partial mechanisms.

500–1,000 mg standardized polyphenols daily.

Generally safe; theoretical additive effect with statins.

A promising natural option for lipids with real, if small-trial, data. Reasonable adjunct.

As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
