I recently read that the USDA Human Nutrition Center named Blueberries as #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits & vegetables. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful "free radicals" than can lead to many serious diseases and pre-mature aging of our skin. Anthocyanin - the pigment that makes Blueberries blue is thought to be responsible for these major health benefits.
Blueberries also contain beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A that also act as antioxidants. Other health benefits one can expect from Blueberries include:
- Support cognitive function, concentration and memory
- Maintain eye health
- Promote urinary tract health
- Support healthy glucose metabolism
I recently came across a unique product called Thera-Blueberry. It is a liquid concentrate formula, rich in antioxidants. What makes the product really good is that is contains a mixture of berries: blueberry, bilberry, elderberry, plus pomegranates. Thera-Blueberry contains the whole blueberry fruit, including the skin, natural fibers, seeds and the juice. Using the whole blueberry fruit, Thera-Blueberry should offer you more than regular store-bought blueberry juice.
Since Thera-Blueberry is a liquid, it can be added to cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, bottled water, milk, protein shakes, and meal replacement powders (MRP's).

I've tried this Thera-Blueberry product, and I love it. In fact, my entire family likes it. Blueberries are so expensive to buy in the store, that this is a great way to have blueberries available for my family - every day!!
These are great blueberries at an awesome price. I couldn't afford to give my family fresh blueberries every day, but I can afford to have this product for them each and every day.
I recommend it!
