FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T WAIT:

CellBerry™

Cellular Oxidation Support Modulator*

What is CellBerry™?

CellBerry is derived from the chokeberry plant, also known as Aronia, indigenous to eastern North America.Known for its uniquely tart and tangy flavor, our highly refined extract of Aronia Melanocarpa undergoes a proprietary extraction process to standardize for high levels of anthocyanins.These extremely potent compounds have been shown in clinical research to have a host of antioxidant and other health enhancing benefits.*

How Does It Work?
The active compounds found in Aronia have long been known to have potent properties on health.Levels of anthocyanins and flavonoids are over five times greater than those found in cranberries, and boast years of research in the areas of cardiovascular, circulatory and immune health.*Aronia Melonocarpa specifically contains a deep purple almost black pigment that arises out of the dense phenolic anthocyanins.The sheer concentration of anthocyanins and proanthocyanin content is one of the highest values recorded among any plant.According to one study (Wu et al 2004) Aronia has one of the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) values ever recorded at 16,100 micromoles of TE per 100 grams.

Application and Serving Size CellBerry is appropriate in a product to enhance overall health and provide extra protection from oxidative stress.* It can be administered in a capsule, tablet, powder or liquid.The recommended serving size for CellBerry is 50 mg of a 10% extract twice daily.

* This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Say that someone monitoring their blood sugar level (not me) were to try this CellBerry. If CellBerry reduces their glucose level then that should be evident, no?

“We will all be looking for natural remedies when 0care begins impacting us with doctor shortages.”

If there is a benefit to be had from this atrocious Obamacare (and you have to look really hard to find one), it might be that people will start to take care of their own health again, instead of living sedentary lifestyles with bad habits, and then expecting a doctor to give them a pill to fix all of that.

. . . Then they randomized the animals to continue drinking either pure water or water spiked with low or high levels of chokeberry extract (CellBerry®, Integrity Nutraceuticals International). . . .

This study was supported, in part, by Integrity Nutraceuticals International (South Spring Hill, TN).

My money is on advertisement.

It should be obvious. It’s a question of how much.

No!!!

Bird physiology is very different from humans.

Even mammals vary greatly in their metabolism.

Birds eat hot chili peppers and don’t know they are HOT!

We have two large chokecherry trees in our yard. The wife sometimes makes jelly. It takes a lot of berries to make a quart. However it is some of he best jelly around.

What we don't get, birds do. Rose breasted Grosbeaks have made this a stop on their migration route. They come by the thousands, stay a couple days and move on.

We don't mind, they are interesting and save us from a mess on the lawn. BTW There are ckokecherries coming up all over the woods around us.

I’ve been doing that for years already. I have bad reactions to a lot of RX’s. Not that some vits and minerals don’t have side effects...they are usually less harmful.

And having Fibromyalgia for 20 yrs has taught me to keep my weight down, and stay reasonably active.

I see my doc 2 times a year to get my 3 RX’s refilled or if something unexpected happens. I grew up poor, lived as a poor divorced mom for 10 years...I learned to make do. Made to much at $3.50 an hr for even food stamps. LOL

“My money is on advertisement.”

Who do you think pays for all those studies of pharmaceuticals? Of course it’s the pharma companies themselves.

The pharma companies spend more on advertising than just about any other industry.

I wish I hadn't seen this photo, or maybe it's good that I did.

Just this morning I was thinking of destroying some bushes that are growing in the wrong spot (for me) on my property. Guess I'll just transplant them instead now.

Chiltepin peppers are a wild pepper in Arizona and Texas!

The plants are hard to grow, but the birds eat the peppers and spread the seeds.

Interesting! Thanks for the link - I didn’t know birds were attracted to that type of food .. always believed they went for sweet things.

Any relation to the Federation of Planets?


No. It's a huge organization for experimental biology. I gave a slide presentation at the FASEB meeting in Washington, D.C. back in 1996.
