Because CoffeeBerry^® is loaded with phenolic acids and healthful plant nutrients. Recent scientific discoveries about the benefits of healthy coffee compounds have explained the wisdom in native peoples' use of the whole coffee fruit. CoffeeBerry^® is exceptionally rich in the antioxidants called phenolic acids. It also contains other nutrients that have benefits scientists are just beginning to study and understand.

The story of how CoffeeBerry^® gets its goodness begins on the slopes of high-altitude volcanic mountainsides. Nourished by mineral-rich soil and warmed by intense tropical sunlight, coffee plants produce a profusion of wonderful bright red fruit.

CoffeeBerry^® is so exceptionally rich in antioxidants because it grows in high altitude, low-latitude regions where the sun’s rays are strongest. As the plants mature, they develop these powerful antioxidants to protect them from damage caused by high doses of the sun’s radiation and the natural byproducts of photosynthesis.

A single 1 gram serving of our CoffeeBerry^® Whole Powder made from that fresh red fruit provides the same anti-free radical power as 33 grams of fresh blueberries!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Center for Aging at Tufts University measured the Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity (ORAC) of more than 40 fruits and vegetables.

Compared to their measurements, a 1 gram serving of our CoffeeBerry^® Forte Extract provides the same anti-free radical power as 625 grams of fresh blueberries, 974 grams of strawberries, 1230 grams of raspberries or 2030 grams of grapes!

Rich in phenolic acid. The antioxidants in CoffeeBerry^® are from polyphenols or phenolic acids, natural plant antioxidants abundant in CoffeeBerry^®.

Coffee polyphenols:
• Neutralize toxic free radicals.
• Help protect against systemic oxidative stress.
• Help reduce the incidence of oxidative pathologies such as coronary heart disease, inflammation and possibly even certain cancers.
• Provide health benefits associated with glucose management, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, depression and anxiety and oral health.

CoffeeBerry^® also contains many healthy poly-, oligo- and five of the eight essential mono-saccharides.

Polysaccharides, such as mannans and aribinogalactans, make up nearly 50% of CoffeeBerry^®. Conventional roasting destroys these nutrients, so they’re not found in traditional coffee.

We all know that carbohydrates provide the ‘fuel’ that we use to run our bodies. Until recently, it was thought energy creation was the only role that carbohydrates played in our body. During the last few years, however, emerging science has suggested that eight carbohydrates, Mannose, Galactose, Fucose, Xylose, Glucose, Sialic acid, N-Acetylglucosamine, and
N-Acetylgalactosamine, are essential to life because they are the basic building blocks of all biological communication. Scientists believe that this family of eight mono- saccharides is essential in order for our immune systems to function properly.

CoffeeBerry^® releases unusually high levels of mannose, galactose, fucose, xylose, arabinose and glucose during digestion. For everyone interested in glyconutrition, CoffeeBerry^® provides an exciting new answer!
