Citrus Bergamot is generally well-tolerated, with strong safety data and very few reported side effects. In rare cases, some individuals may experience mild heartburn.
To maintain the effectiveness of bergamot supplements, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extremely high or low temperatures, although occasional exposure is unlikely to affect their quality.
Additionally, if you are on any medications, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure there are no potential interactions.
Tip: To minimize this possibility, we recommend taking Citrus Bergamot with a meal. For most people, this option is gentle, effective, and well-absorbed when used as directed.
The long-term use of bergamot supplements should be approached with consideration. Most of the studies on citrus bergamot as a supplement have looked at short-term use and while we don't have reason to suspect that longer-term use would be dangerous, we simply don't have the long-term data from studies. Because of this lack of data, many practitioners recommend using citrus bergamot supplements for a period of around 3 months and then taking a break. A recommended practice is to follow cycles of use, such as three months on followed by a three-week break, to maintain effectiveness and safety.
Because every body is unique, we always suggest checking with your personal healthcare provider before starting a new supplement — especially if you’re taking medication or managing a medical condition.
Bergamot supplements are designed to remain stable even under extreme environmental conditions. For example, exposure to freezing temperatures overnight does not diminish their potency. They are packaged in BPA-free PET materials to ensure safety and protection.
This is particularly important if you are using medications such as blood thinners, as interactions could occur and a professional assessment is necessary.
General Safety Precautions
To ensure safe use of Citrus Bergamot or any dietary supplements:

Follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Monitor your body’s reaction and discontinue use if you experience any adverse effects.
Store supplements in a cool, dry place and protect them from prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures.
