In this episode, we talk to Hame Persaud, executive vice president of HP Ingredients to talk about the rich history of bergamot, and its future in the dietary supplement industry.
HP Ingredients distributes a patented bergamot polyphenolic extract called Bergamonte in North America, and has been making a push to educate the industry about the value of this ingredient as a dietary supplement while also showcasing bergamot’s rich history and cultural significance in the region it is grown, Calabria, Italy. As part of this educational initiative, HP Ingredients recently produced a documentary that puts a spotlight on Calabria and its people. In the documentary, you can learn about bergamot from locals who have been growing and extracting the citrus fruit for generations, as well as discover the potential for using bergamot in dietary supplement applications.
