Features & Benefits

- The Power of Blueberries, x10
Due to the harsh growing conditions of the Alaska wilderness, AuroraBlue® has the richest natural profile of nutrients derived from the genus Vaccinium of any berry complex on the market. In fact, it contains up to 10 times the bioactive compounds (including highly prized anthocyanins) and antioxidant capacity measured in products made with wild blueberries and cultivated varieties from lower latitudes. AuroraBlue® is a nutritional powerhouse, providing:
- Anthocyanins at levels that far exceed those documented in any blueberry or whole fruit product (4-5% of dry weight).
- Proanthocyanidins, including A-type proanthocyanidin trimers, equivalent to amounts found in cranberry and cocoa (3.5-4% of dry weight).
- Flavonols, such as the well-studied quercetin and myricetin, but also fisetin and catechins.
- Stilbenes, such as pterostilbene and other stilbenoids.
- Vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K.
- Minerals and trace elements, such as manganese.
- Pectin and fiber.
Importantly, AuroraBlue® is a whole, dried berry concentrate — not an extract. That means all the active ingredients remain intact in their proper ratios.
- Health Benefits
Blueberries are one of the most studied fruits on the planet and have shown promise in promoting:
- Brain and mood.
- Cardiovascular health.
- Blood sugar maintenance.
- Optimal weight.
- Healthy aging.
Further, Alaska Vaccinium berry species have specifically been observed to:
- Blunt oxidative stress and support a healthy response to inflammation in the central nervous system in vitro (bog blueberry).
- Reduce lipid accumulation in fat cells in vitro (bog blueberry, oval-leaf blueberry).
- Maintain blood sugar levels already within a healthy range in vivo (bog blueberry).
