I’ve been taking Citrus Bergamot for a couple years. I was taking a more expensive brand that also has Resveratrol & grape leaf extract. Then I saw this listing and decided to try it. I had no problems with it, per se, but, during the past few months while taking Double Wood I’ve also started hearing my blood pulsing in my ears. It's so loud, it's making me nuts! No need to hold my wrist or feel my neck to get a pulse, just listen and count. I've run out of Bergamot completely so, today instead of just re-ordering, I went looking to see what all is available, plus I did some online research on Resveratrol . A multitude of studies show there are definitely health benefits to taking a limited amt. Taking too much, such as a supplement on it’s own, can cause nausea, diarrhea & other gastro-intestinal issues, per the Cleveland Clinic. Not a good idea! I’ve ordered another bottle of Double Wood Citrus Bergamot that will be delivered today and I’m also ordering a bottle of the other one with the Resveratrol. It won’t arrive for another 10 days. When it does, I’ll switch and we'll see if the pulsing sound in my ears goes away. If it does, I’ll have my answer & I guess I go back to the more expensive brand with Resveratrol permanently. One thing I don't understand with both brands. They both say they're “NON-GMO” but neither one mentions "organic". Non-GMO doesn't mean we’re not getting pesticides--it just means it wasn't genetically altered. I don't know about you, but I don't want pesticides or any other "icides" with my food or supplements. I only found one brand that says it's “CERTIFIED” organic. We all know the supplement industry is swimming in profits, They sure as hell-o can afford to get their products certified, if they are, in fact, organic. I not, maybe they should source their plant ingredients elsewhere. Why would we want to spend good money on supplements to be healthier and poison ourselves at the same time? The FDA hasn’t done us any favors continuing to allow the use of chemicals on our food supply ( and, therefor, supplements) that have been banned in the rest of the world, or at least parts of it like the EU. And…. the FDA wonders why we’ve lost respect for them! They need to do their damn jobs and protect US —not the big chemical companies. I’ll update this review of Double Wood Bergamot in a couple mos. when I know what happens after switching back to theone with Resveratrol. Hmmm …It just occurred to me, that I really should probably switch to the organic one for the interim. But…. that completely changes my test and the validity of whether my switch to Double Wood caused the pulsing sound to begin with— assuming it goes away. I guess that’s the question and decision I need to make now. Do I want to stick with the non-GMO but also not organic Double Wood Bergamot or do I want to go with the organic brand that’s better for me, just for the sake of my experiment?

Took as directed on the bottle. In one year, my cholesterol decreased by 90 points! Also took Cod liver oil supplements but beware because CLO will thin your blood as with any fish oil.

Great value and very good quality.

The original formulation used the brand name Bergamonte from HP ingredients. At 1000mg(2 capsules) I raised my HDL to normal levels and lowered LDL & triglycerides to normal levels. Now the formula has changed. My LDL has gone back up with the 500mg maintenance dose with poor inflammatory markers. I'll increase the dose to 1000mg again and finish the 2 bottles I have but I'm going back to what worked, HP ingredients Bergamonte.

Good
