Are phytoberry supplements good for me?

answer
They are certainly loaded with some of the ingredients from berries found all over the world, but they are not the same as consuming berries. Scientists have found berries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any fresh fruits. Antioxidants are substances that protect the body by neutralizing free radicals or unstable oxygen molecules, which can damage the cells and are a major source of disease and aging. The phytoberry formula takes the shotgun approach in hopes that you are overwhelmed and decide that “heck, if it contains all of this, it must be top shelf!” But you must match individual ingredient dosages to clinical trials that demonstrated a positive outcome. Therefore if you are looking for antioxidant protection, we recommend using a daily multivitamin and mineral formula along with an antioxidant with solid science support containing the ingredients shown below:
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid - 200 mg
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ-10) - 100 mg
  • OptiBerry® (from wild blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, 30 mg** wild bilberry, elderberry, raspberry) - 10 mg
  • Lycopene - 6 mg
  • Lutein - 4 mg
  • D. Salina natural mixed carotenoids - 1.5 mg
