Similar to oxidation in metals, oxidation also occurs in the body, contributing to many diseases and aging.

Wild Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against this process.

One of the first scientists to recognize the high antioxidant content of Wild Blueberries was Ronald Prior, Ph.D., a nutrition scientist. He developed the ORAC test, the most widely recognized method to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods. According to Dr. Prior, regular blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of any other foods, but Wild Blueberries have twice the antioxidant power of regular cultivated blueberries.

In addition to antioxidants, recent studies have found that other flavonoids or chemical compounds in Wild Blueberries offer significant benefits. Food chemist Wilhemina Kalt, Ph.D., notes that these flavonoids act as anti-inflammatory agents. In many degenerative diseases and processes, underlying damage arises from inflammation, and there is substantial evidence that these compounds work as anti-inflammatory agents.
