Bergamot is the citrus that gives Earl Grey tea its aroma, and it has become one of the most talked-about plants in heart-health supplements. In this episode we open up the capsule: what bergamot is, what polyphenols are, and why the words "standardized extract" on a label matter more than the word "bergamot" alone.
We also cover the everyday habits that matter for heart health after 50, and how to read a supplement label in about 30 seconds so you can choose with confidence.
In this episode:
- What bergamot is, and why it's rich in polyphenols
- What "standardized" means, and why Bergavit® is standardized to 25–40% total polyphenols
- The common label mistake: buying "bergamot" without a named extract or an NPN
- Simple daily habits: movement, fibre, colour, sleep and check-ups
- Where miNATURALS Ultra Premium Bergamot fits in
