Haskap Berry
Lonicera caerulea
An oblong blue berry from northern climates, valued for its unique flavor and dense anthocyanin content. It contains up to three times the antioxidants of blueberries, primarily in the form o
Nutrient Profile
Health Benefits
Vascular Function
Improves flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and helps lower systolic blood pressure in clinical subjects.
Neuroprotection
High C3G levels support cognitive function and may reduce neuro-inflammation and age-related decline.
Ocular Health
Protects the retina from oxidative stress and may help mitigate light-induced damage.
Preparation Guide
Raw or frozen forms are preferred to protect anthocyanin integrity.
Best For: Maximizing nutrient absorption and digestibility
Alternative Usage
Best For: Haskap juice or powder can be used if fresh fruit is unavailable.
