Erboristeria Magentina supplements enter the 56 para-pharmacies of Conad Nord Ovest

Erboristeria Magentina, a leading name in the Italian herbal medicine and phytotherapy sector, has entered into a commercial partnership with Conad Nord Ovest.

The collaboration involves the inclusion in the 56 para-pharmacies of Conad Nord Ovest of Bergamot Balance, the new range of supplements dedicated to cardiovascular health and cholesterol control, featuring organic Calabrian bergamot as its key ingredient.

The European regulatory framework

A choice that highlights a particularly timely new product for the para-pharmacy channel, also in light of developments in the European regulatory framework concerning fermented red rice: Regulation (EU) 2022/860 introduced specific restrictions on monacolins, stipulating that the daily serving of the product must provide less than 3 mg. This change has helped direct research towards proprietary ingredients and formulations capable of offering new approaches to supporting lipid metabolism and cardiovascular well-being.

Bergamot Balance fits into this context as a nutraceutical project that brings the concept of “the science of nature” from Erboristeria Magentina into a high-concentration range, in which the selection of raw materials is combined with targeted formulas, standardised ingredients and synergistic complexes.

The products in the range

Organic Calabrian bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso & Poiteau), naturally rich in bioactive polyphenols, is the common thread running through the three products in the range:

Bergamotto Compresse Colesterolo is the flagship product, containing organic Calabrian bergamot extract, GlicavOx, a patented complex based on amaranth and avocado, milk thistle standardised to80% in silymarin and policosanols. The formulation is supported by a clinical study conducted in collaboration with the Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacogenetics Laboratory of the Amedeo di Savoia Hospital – Department of Medical Sciences of the University of Turin. In the population with baseline cholesterol above 180 mg/dL, more than 73% of subjects recorded a measurable improvement in total cholesterol levels after one month of use, which was maintained over the three-month treatment period.

Omega Pearls 3 stands out for its high concentration and for a formulation designed to meet, with a single pearl, the requirement for Omega 3 associated with normal cardiac, brain and visual function. The dosage can be adjusted according to different supplementation needs. The addition of organic bergamot essential oil also makes it more pleasant to take and completely free from any aftertaste. The product has Friend of the Sea international certification.

Bergamot Drinkable – Lipid Balance is a ready-to-use liquid formulation containing 40% of organic bergamot juice, Solanred – red aubergine extract, artichoke, rosehip and aloe vera gel. A vegan formula combining the distinctive bergamot component with a complex of plant-based ingredients.
