What it is
Antioxidant Fruit Blend is a mixture of fruit extracts and concentrates chosen for their natural antioxidant properties. These blends often combine fruits like berries, grapes, and pomegranates, which are rich in compounds such as polyphenols and anthocyanins. The fruits are typically processed to extract these beneficial compounds, which are then concentrated and blended.
