We’re always looking for Superfoods with that extra edge, first came the blueberry and then the goji berry but now CherryActive (£13.95 / 473ml) has been found to contain extraordinarily high levels of anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant known for its beneficial role in protecting the heart and cardiovascular system.

We like this because it’s quick, simple and no need for endless chomping, you just mix it with water and hey presto your good deed for the day is done!

According to leading nutrition expert, Patrick Holford, “A daily 30ml shot of CherryActive, diluted in water or added to a smoothie is a great way to get anthocyanins into your diet and counts towards your five a day target.”

What are anthocyanins?
Anthocyanins are compounds naturally found in berries that possess high levels of antioxidant activity and are also responsible for giving berries their rich colour. Anthocyanins can help to neutralise free radicals – compounds in the body that damage cells and contribute to heart disease, brain degeneration, certain cancers, and the ageing process. Tests show that a 30ml shot of CherryActive Concentrate has an antioxidant score of 8260 ORAC units. This is the same antioxidant capacity of 23 average portions of fruit and vegetables!

Look after yourself!
