Products:
Raspberry as a Potent Antioxidant
Raspberries contain high levels of antioxidants, including vitamin C and polyphenols, which function to neutralise free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress—promoting overall physiological health.¹
Raspberry for Skin Health
Due to their high vitamin C content, raspberries support collagen synthesis,² which helps maintain skin elasticity and diminish signs of ageing. Additionally, their antioxidants protect the skin from environmental damage, contributing to a more vibrant and youthful appearance.²
Raspberry for Blood Sugar Regulation
Raspberries exhibit a low glycemic index and provide a substantial amount of dietary fibre, both of which contribute to the regulation of blood glucose levels. Additionally, they contain bioactive compounds that may enhance insulin sensitivity, supporting their inclusion in diets aimed at managing blood sugar control.³
Raspberry for Gut Health and Digestion
Raspberries also provide a significant amount of dietary fibre, which aids in maintaining healthy digestion and regular bowel function. This fibre also serves as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and supporting a balanced gut microbiome for improved digestive health.⁴ ⁵
