How does NSI® Ultimate Berry Complex work?
Berries are a natural source of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. They are also a good source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are anti-oxidation agents that help protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. These free radicals attack cells in the body and therefore may contribute to premature aging and health concerns.
A study by a team of USDA nutritionists published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry entitled “Lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidant capacities of common foods in the United States”¹ lists the top twenty foods that rank the highest in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). These foods include: wild blueberries (#2), cultivated blueberries (#5), cranberries (#6), blackberries (#8), raspberries (#10) and strawberries (#11).
NSI® Ultimate Berry Complex contains wild blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, black raspberry and strawberry fruit extracts in one convenient daily supplement.
Berries are a natural source of proanthocyanidins, a class of flavonoids which engage in antioxidant activity within the body. These proanthocyanidins (also known as proanthocyanins or OPCs) assist in the stabilization of collagen and the in maintenance of elastin, critical proteins found in the connective tissue that help support joints, muscle, blood vessels and organs. Berries also contain ellagic acids. Ellagic acids have naturally-occurring phenolic compounds that possess strong anti-oxidant properties.
Blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, raspberries and strawberries also contain vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to a sound immune system, increased energy levels and strong connective tissue, which help keep skin smooth and supple. Blueberries and cranberries contain minerals, lutein and phytochemicals. Strawberries are a source of calcium, magnesium, folic acid and potassium, while raspberries contain potassium and cranberries are known as a natural source of tannins.
NSI® Ultimate Berry Complex is better because it:
- Contains 200 mg of VitaCran® CranForte™ Cranberry Extract, standardized to 30% organic acids, 3% proanthocyanidins, 1% total anthocyanidins and 10% phenolics.
- Delivers 200 mg each of strawberry, wild blueberry, raspberry and black raspberry fruit extracts in each daily dosage.

All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.
