Comparison target500–1,000 mg/day bergamot polyphenolic extract

Bergamot citrus fruit; standardized extracts are concentrated can provide related dietary exposure, but food and extract milligrams are not automatically interchangeable.

Bergamot citrus fruit; standardized extracts are concentratedFood amount varies

Dietary exposure; verify composition before comparing with a studied supplement dose

How this was estimated
Dose Radar compares the declared active ingredient with official composition data or the studied standardized extract—not with marketing names.
Important limitation
Natural content, preparation, bioavailability and formulation vary. This comparison does not prove equal physiological effect.

Food equivalents compare ingredient mass using published composition values. They do not prove equal absorption, formulation, physiological effect, safety or personal need.

05How to take it for absorption & tolerance
Meal relationship

With food

Evidence-informed
With food; formulation and tolerance remain part of the comparison.

Food commonly improves gastrointestinal tolerance, although it can change absorption for some ingredients.

Practical approach
With food. Keep the formulation and daily total consistent with the evidence context shown above.
Watch for
Statins and other lipid medicines

Meal guidance reflects human pharmacokinetic, clinical, official-label or evidence-review sources where available. A food pairing can change absorption or tolerability, but does not make a supplement necessary, effective or safe for every person.

06Supplement interaction check
Library interaction context156 ingredients · 0 mapped signals for this guide

An unlisted pair means no established pair-specific interaction was identified in this review—not proof that every dose, product or person is safe.

No pair-specific signal listedNo established interaction with another Dose Radar ingredient was identified in this review.

This is not proof that every dose, product or user context is safe. Medication and condition checks still apply.

07Research notes
Evidence verdict

Limited evidence for the stated context. Trials and products are heterogeneous, and cardiovascular outcomes are unproven.

The displayed amount comes from human research or an official evidence summary. It is not a personalized prescription, and formulation can change whether the comparison is valid.
