Aronia berries contain high levels of antioxidants, ployphenois, and anthocyanins

Boosts Immunity

While the antioxidants get most of the attention in chokeberries, there is also a significant amount of vitamin C, which stimulates the activity of white blood cells and is also a crucial component in the production of collagen. Collagen is integral to the growth and repair of new tissues, organs, blood vessels, and cells, while white blood cells function as the front lines of the body’s immune response.

Helps Prevent and Manage Diabetes

The dietary fiber in Aronia has also been linked to increased insulin regulation, which helps keep blood sugar levels normal and prevents the spikes and drops that can be so dangerous to those suffering from diabetes.

Improves Vision

The carotenes found in Aronia are able to reduce oxidative stress in the eyes, thereby preventing the onset of macular degeneration and slowing or preventing the development of cataracts. Carotenes are some of the most powerful antioxidants and are found in significant levels in Aronia.

Regulates Blood Pressure

The potassium content in Aronia is high enough to have a noticeable effect on heart health, mainly because potassium is a vasodilator and can relieve the strain on the cardiovascular system. By relaxing the blood vessels and arteries, blood flow increases, blood pressure drops, and you can lower your chances of a heart attack or stroke.
