BergaMED™: Bergamot + Olive Fruit Extract for Heart & Vascular Support
If you’re looking for nutritional support that’s rooted in plant compounds (and not just one isolated ingredient), BergaMED™ is an interesting option. It combines concentrated bergamot phytonutrients with a standardized olive fruit extract to support healthy cardiovascular function, including the endothelium and glycocalyx—two key players in overall vascular health.*
This post breaks down the formula, explains why these two extracts are paired, and lists the full ingredient list.
Why bergamot is a standout for cardiovascular support
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is best known for its unique profile of phytonutrients—especially flavonoids. In this formula, the bergamot extract is Bergavit®, a powder made by extracting the main flavonoids found in bergamot juice, including:
Naringin
Neoeriocitrin
Neohesperidin
The bergamot used here is sourced from Calabria, southern Italy, a region known for its bergamot cultivation.
Why is olive fruit extract paired with bergamot?
The second key ingredient is Mediteanox®, a Spanish olive fruit extract that provides standardized hydroxytyrosol—a major olive polyphenol.
Hydroxytyrosol is included for its antioxidant properties, specifically to support protection against LDL cholesterol oxidation.* Oxidative stress is one of the reasons antioxidants are often discussed in the context of heart and vascular health, especially when the goal is supporting healthy cardiovascular function over time.
What “endothelium” and “glycocalyx” support means (quick explanation)
I like to keep this simple:
The endothelium is the inner lining of blood vessels. Supporting it is part of supporting healthy circulation and vascular function.*
The glycocalyx is a protective, gel-like layer that covers the endothelium. It plays a role in vascular integrity and healthy vessel function.*
When a formula mentions these two, it’s usually aiming beyond basic “heart support” and focusing more specifically on vascular health.
