Acai contains natural flavonoids and antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect the body from free radicals** Free radicals can cause oxidative stress which may damage cells. Free radicals are produced by stress, pollution and the natural aging process. Antioxidants are an important line of defense against these rogue atoms**

Contain powerful antioxidants
Aronia berries pack high levels of antioxidants.

These compounds defend your cells from damage caused by free radicals. A buildup of free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to chronic conditions, such as heart disease and cancer.

Aronia berries are an excellent source of polyphenols, which is a group of antioxidants that includes phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and flavanols.

Test-tube studies indicate that the antioxidants in aronia berries can inhibit free radical activity.

The berries themselves also showed superior antioxidant activity, compared with five other berries

What’s more, a study in 30 healthy people found that extracts from aronia berries significantly reduced oxidative stress caused by an antipsychotic medication within 24 hours.

Moreover, test-tube studies have linked the antioxidants in these fruits to other impressive health benefits, such as decreased inflammation, as well as reduced bacterial and cancer cell growth

Anticancer effects
Aronia berries may protect against cancer.

Test-tube and animal studies show that the anthocyanins in aronia berries may stop the growth of colon cancer cells.

One test-tube study found that 50 mg of aronia extract reduced colon cancer cell growth by 60% after 24 hours. It’s thought that the potent antioxidant activity of anthocyanins is responsible for this cancer-suppressing effect.

Similarly, extracts from the berries may reduce oxidative stress related to breast cancer.

In one study, these extracts reduced the number of harmful superoxide free radicals in blood samples taken from women with breast cancer.

That said, current research is limited, and human studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between aronia berries and cancer protection.

May benefit heart health
Due to its antioxidant properties, aronia berries may improve heart health.

In particular, they may help people with metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions — including high cholesterol and triglyceride levels — that increases your likelihood of heart disease and diabetes.

One 2-month study in 38 people with metabolic syndrome observed that supplementing with 300 mg of aronia extract daily significantly decreased triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol.

A similar 2-month study in 25 people with metabolic syndrome found that taking 300 mg of aronia extract daily significantly reduced the same health markers, as well as blood pressure.

More human research is needed to identify the role that aronia berries may play in heart health.

Provide immune support
Aronia berries may strengthen and support your immune system.

A test-tube study noted that aronia berry extracts exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the potentially harmful bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus Cereus. It exerted this effect by reducing the bacteria’s production of a protective shield called biofilm.

In addition, a 3-month study in residents of 6 nursing homes found that those who drank either 5.3 or 3 ounces (156 or 89 ml) of aronia berry juice daily experienced 55% and 38% reductions in urinary tract infections, respectively.

Aronia berries may also reduce inflammation by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory substances, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-ɑ) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), which may boost immune health.

Finally, the berries may have antiviral effects.

One mouse study determined that the ellagic acid and myricetin in aronia berry extract may protect against the influenza virus
