Blueberry compounds: anthocyanins & pterostilbene

The anthocyanins in blueberries are some of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. They protect cells and other vulnerable biological structures from oxidizing free radicals.

Pterostilbene is another blueberry constituent that helps maintain already-healthy lipid (cholesterol) and glucose (blood sugar) levels.^3,4 Through its intriguing biological effects and antioxidative potential, pterostilbene helps maintain healthy DNA structure.⁵
