Green Tea Extract
Green tea extract contains a natural polyphenols (antioxidants) called catechins.
Catechins are chemical molecules found naturally in certain plants. They are powerful antioxidants that help maintain good health. Catechins are notably found in various types of tea, including green tea.
Green tea can be integrated to healthy eating diet and regular physical activity.
Red Wine Extract
Red wine extract contains natural polyphenols (antioxidants) known as resveratrol.
Resveratrol is a molecule that is abundant in wine, blackberries, and peanuts. Resveratrol is produced by a number of plants, apparently for its antifungal properties. It is found in grapes (mostly in the skin), raspberries, blackberries, peanuts, Vaccinium berries (blueberries, whortleberries, cranberries), and certain pines, among others.
Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa
Dark chocolate 70% cocoa is bursting with flavonoids, which are natural polyphenols (antioxidants).
The term flavonoid refers to a class of secondary metabolites grouped together according to chemical structure (phenylbenzopyrone). Flavonoids are most commonly known for their antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are present in a wide range of organisms. They are found in the red parts of apples and pears, and in juniper berries, honey, grapes, and wine.
Ginger
Ginger is naturally high in a chemical component named gingerol. Gingerol is one of the most active antioxidant component found in ginger who contains about 40 antioxidant molecules. Ginger is used for it's distinctive taste in Praeventia cookies with Wellmune WGP®.
Cranberry
Cranberry is naturally high in anthocyanin precursor. This chemical molecule has the highest antioxidant activity of all fruits and vegetables.That's why cranberry is one of the fruit with the highest level of antioxidant. Dehydrated cranberries that are used in Praeventia cookies with Wellmune WGP® is a great ingredient for the product consumer!
