Why buy Blueberry Extract by HSN?

Maximum concentration

Blueberry fruit is widely used across the world for its properties.

The plant is highly valued for its proanthocyanidins and other polyphenol content, however.

The daily 350g dose contributes appropriately 42 grams of natural blueberry.

Guaranteed proanthocyanidin and anthocyanidin content

The blueberry fruit contains polyphenols such as proanthocyanidins and anthocyanidins.

These compounds are highly valued as they're the main components of nutritional interests of the fruit.

However, with commercial blueberries, and many blueberry extracts on the market, we always encounter two problems:

1. They're not properly standardised; that's to say, they don't guarantee an X concentration of these polyphenols.
2. 'Highbush' varieties are marketed because they're juicier, but their antioxidant content is much lower.

Our blueberry extract, developed from the wild 'lowbush' variety, contains a guaranteed high concentration of these compounds of nutritional interest:

• 76.5% Proanthocyanidins.
• 12.5% Proanthocyanidin B2.
• 13% Anthocyanidins.

The highest concentration of anthocyanin derivatives on the market!

The highest ORAC

Blueberries, thanks to their nutritional composition, have an extremely high ORAC (Oxygen-Radical Absorbance Capacity).

In addition to its use of complementary action with water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C, which contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.

Vegan-friendly

Blueberry extract is suitable for vegan diets.
