acai extract
the acai tree grows in the amazonian region of south america. the tree produces a small, round purplish-fruit (resembling a grape), with nutrient dense pulp and a hard seed. the acai berry contains high levels of antioxidants (anthocyanins in its pigment) and is caffeine free.
blueberry extract
the blueberry is one of the few fruits that are native to north america (along with cranberries and concord grapes). this naturally-sweet wild berry is thought to have been a popular native fruit, since sugar was scarce and very expensive in the early years of north america; therefore, blueberries played an important role in the diets of native americans. researchers at the united states department of agriculture human nutrition center (human nutrition research centre on aging ) have found that blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. anthocyanins, the pigment which makes the blueberries blue, is thought to be responsible for the antioxidant activity.
pomegranate extract
pomegranates are well known for their high antioxidant properties. the most abundant polyphenols in pomegranates are hydrolysable tannins, particularly punicalagins, which have been shown in many peer-reviewed research publications to be the antioxidant responsible for the free radical-scavenging ability of pomegranate juice.
