You know the basics of good nutrition. Eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats; skip the refined carbs, sodium, and seed oils. But even the healthiest eaters are missing out on nutrients from two important foods that can make a massive, beneficial impact on health: aronia berries and grape seeds.

Aronia berries aren’t as popular as other fruits because, although they are bursting with valuable nutrients, their taste isn’t as pleasing as blueberries or strawberries. Frequently described as “tart,” raw aronia berries don’t appeal to many palates. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of aronia’s antioxidant and heart-healthy powers.*

In clinical studies, AB40 aronia extract was shown to provide significant support for heart function, while aronia berry itself has an extensive resume validating its support for immune system, healthy blood flow, cellular health, and healthy aging.*

It makes perfect sense to pair aronia with French grape seed extract. While grapes are one of the top five most consumed fruits, it is highly unlikely that this includes eating the seeds of the grape. And while grape seeds are tiny, they pack a big health punch. Grape seeds contain an abundance of small, highly-absorbable polyphenols called oligomeric proanthocyanidins, or OPCs. OPCs are outstanding at supporting heart and blood vessel health, and immune health, as well.*

In fact, French grape seed extract VX1® has been used in multiple scientific studies demonstrating its ability to support immune and cellular health. In comparison to standard grape seed extracts, French grape seed extract VX1 has stronger antioxidant effects and provides more potent support for immune system function.* Additionally, VX1 is guaranteed to be genuine grape seed extract. Unfortunately, fake grape seed is a real problem, but there is no need to worry when purchasing Aronia Berry Complex from your health food store or an authorized Terry Naturally® distributor. Stringent identity testing guarantees that only genuine grape seed extract from French champagne grapes appears in this product.

Aronia berry extract AB40 and French grape seed extract VX1 make the perfect partners in Aronia Berry Complex for heart and artery health, immune health, and healthy aging. With their superior antioxidant powers, it would be hard to find a better way to support your health for a lifetime.*
