Although cultivated blueberries are large and beautiful, it is the small wild blueberries of pristine Northern British Columbia, which are densely packed with immensely potent and powerful nutrition, and cancer protecting and immune boosting compounds. These include many anti-oxidants, phytochemicals, polyphenols, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins. In addition to the above natural phyto compounds, blueberries contain a diverse range of phenolic compounds such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin and chlorogenic acid - all of which contribute to their antioxidant capacity.

 

Many peer-reviewed scientific studies have confirmed that wild blueberries contain almost double the amount of anti-oxidants and phytochemicals as cultivated blueberries. Additionally, when wild blueberries are made into wine, all the beneficial phytochemicals, anti-oxidants and compounds, mentioned above from the wild blueberries, are concentrated in the wine. Hence, even drinking a small amount of wild blueberry wine provides innumerable health benefits! The numerous natural phyto-compounds in B.C. wild blueberries have been scientifically studied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and many leading universities. The compounds are shown to have many powerful health stimulating properties, including anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-aging, cardiovascular protective, brain and memory protective amongst others.
