Antioxidants 

Cranberries are among the top five foods in terms of antioxidant content per serving.¹

Antioxidants are substances that help protect cells from oxidative stress and the effects of tiny molecules called free radicals.

These minute free radicals are continually produced in the human body and can start internal chain reactions inside our bodies which eventually damage cells.

Breathing air, digesting food, or being exposed to second-hand smoke or the sun all produce free radicals which, experts believe, play a role in normal ageing, as well as the onset of heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses.

Thankfully, the antioxidants present in foods like cranberries help to protect our bodies from the harmful effects of the free radicals we are exposed to every day of our lives.

Cranberries - available in many convenient forms including dried cranberries, cranberry juice, and cranberry sauce - are a great way to add an antioxidant-rich fruit to your daily diet.
