BODA... Facts about the Antioxidants!

What is an Aronia Berry?

Discovered and grown in Europe and the United States, Aronia Berry usage dates back to the Native Americans, where generations ago it was incorporated into their medicines and culture because of the strong healing powers.

 

Why Aronia Berry?

Aronia Berry, as super fruit…is the antioxidant powerhouse that surpasses Acai berries, Blueberries and Pomegranate in certain antioxidants. Aronia Berry has the highest level of anthocyanins versus any other red or blue berries. Aronia Berry helps lower blood pressure, promotes a healthy urinary tract, fights bacteria and viruses, strengthens memory, aids in digestion and promotes good cholesterol.

 

Why Green Tea?

Green Tea is a powerful and naturally occurring antioxidant. Green Tea has been found to contain the highest levels of polyphenol antioxidants. When preserved as an extract (as in BODA), it retains the highest benefit levels. Green Tea helps fight obesity, lowers LDC cholesterol, prevent fatigue, motivates brain activity, quenches your thirst and overall contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
