Flavonoid Power
 The anti-aging health benefits of berries range from fighting cancer, heart disease and diabetes, to boosting brainpower, helping with weight control, and maintaining urinary tract health.

What makes berries such potent health allies? In a word, flavonoids.

Little berries are big sources of polyphenolic compounds called flavonoids, including both anthocyanins, which give berries their red, blue and purple hues, and proanthocyanidins, which give darker berries their tart, tannic flavors. Flavonoids have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects–and berries are loaded with them.

Researchers are focused on the role flavonoids play in maintaining cell health and helping to ward off chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Simply put, the higher the flavonoid content, the better the berries–and Aronia berries are the Flavonoid Superstars.
