 of polyphenols and flavonoids of the citrus bergamia or bergamot orange fruit species. BPF is comprised of five polyphenols (Naringin, Neohesperidin, Brutieridin, Melitidin, and Neoeriocitrin). BergaMet currently holds the rights to distribute Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit47% BPF products in the online and direct to consumer channels in the U.S. and Canada pursuant to a supply agreement with H&AD S.r.L., an Italian limited company, which we entered into on January 1, 2019 and amended on November 1, 2021. Bergamot is a rare citrus fruit native to the Calabrian region of Southern Italy. Due to the fruit’s sensitivity to certain weather and soil conditions, this region accounts for 80 percent of the worldwide production of bergamot. Bergamot has been used for decades in the Calabrian regions for its beneficial effects in promoting overall health, particularly in support of cholesterol, cardiovascular, and metabolic health. Citrus bergamot contains five antioxidant polyphenols in unusually concentrated amounts, which are believed to help protect the human body’s trillions of cells from free radical damage. The juice and albedo of bergamot has a profile of flavanoid and glycosides, such as neoeriocitrin, neohesperidin, naringin, rutin, neodesmin, rhoifolin, and poncirin. Naringin has been shown to be beneficial in animal models of atherosclerosis, while neoeriocitrin and rutin have been found to exhibit a strong capacity to prevent low-density lipoprotein (“LDL”) from oxidation. Importantly, bergamot juice is rich in brutieridine and melitidine with an ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, which inhibits the liver’s ability to produce LDL, resulting in reduced cholesterol levels in liver cells.
