A New Strategy
The Need for a Botanical Antioxidant Supplement

Although we know that fruit, especially berries, contain many of nature’s most potent antioxidants and phytochemicals, many of us fail to consume the optimal amounts necessary to maintain vibrant health. As well, factors like environmental toxins, stress and excessive free radical exposure challenge us each and every day.

Free radicals are reactive compounds that can damage the cells that they come into contact with. Although impossible to avoid, we need to minimize our exposure to free radicals while simultaneously supporting our body’s ability to neutralize them. Unless kept in check, excessive free radicals can cause a chain reaction that contributes to the erosion of good health. Antioxidants protect cells from the destructive effects of free radicals. Consuming a potent antioxidant-rich supplement can act as a wonderful insurance policy providing all the protective power of fresh berries and phytonutrients.

Facts:

• Numerous long-term studies have concluded that people who consume the nutrients found in berries reduce their risk of chronic disease¹.
• Research has shown that antioxidants work synergistically and are far more effective when a spectrum of fruits is ingested, not just isolated compounds².
• A significant improvement in antioxidant protection can be achieved by increasing your consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in ORAC value³.

The Phytoberry® Formula

Ingredients 

Whole Fruit Concentrates (goji berry, açai berry, pomegranate, Indian goose berry, mangosteen including pericarp, prune, blueberry, raisin, cranberry, strawberry, acerola berry, apricot, raspberry, cupuaçu, apple, blackberry, sea berry (buckthorn), elderberry)

This “superfruit” blend packs a one-two punch by providing exceptional antioxidant activity while preserving the natural harmony of the whole foods, including all of the secondary and trace nutrients. This natural balance and synergy provides us with a level of protection that can’t be duplicated with isolated forms of antioxidants.

Phytonutrient Extracts (rosehips, green tea, white tea, rosemary, grape skin, olive leaf, bilberry, grape seed, pine bark, corn silk, quercetin, lycopene, resveratrol)

This potent combination of botanical extracts has been designed specifically to reduce the free radical damage associated with a contemporary lifestyle. Free radicals are a byproduct of energy production and are found in sources as varied as sunlight, exhaust fumes, tobacco smoke and pesticides.

Essential Fatty Acids (organic non-GMO lecithin, flax seed oil, coconut oil, plantain oil, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil)

Every living cell in our bodies requires essential fatty acids. We cannot produce or synthesize them internally so their availability is completely dependent on the foods that we consume. EFAs play a role in everything from proper immune system function, to brain and cardiovascular health as well as energy production. The EFAs in Phyto-Berry also offer specific antioxidant protection to a number of organs and internal system including cognitive and brain function.

Essential Oils (clove, thyme, oregano, cinnamon bark, orange, rosemary)

They are “antioxidant powerhouses” boasting the highest ORAC scores of any known substance. A single drop of clove contains 400 times more antioxidant activity per unit volume than Gogi Berry, one of the most powerful of all known fruits.
