Is the citrus bergamot in Durable Heart organic?Updated a month ago

The primary ingredient in Durable Heart is the patented Bergamonte® brand citrus bergamot, grown in Italy. This brand does not offer a certified organic version of their bergamot. However, Europe is far more strict than the U.S. in terms of pesticide and chemical use, and every batch of raw materials that we use in our products is triple tested for chemicals, heavy metals, and pesticides. If greater than trace amounts are detected, the batch is rejected (even certified organic produce is not batch tested for contaminants).
