The aroniaberry—otherwise known as the chokeberry or, to many of its fans, nature's healer and protector—is food choice for those who want to increase the level of antioxidants in their diet. Studies have suggested that antioxidants may be effective in strengthening the immune system, reducing the risk of disease and slowing the signs of aging.

Individuals who have incorporated the aroniaberry into their healthy lifestyles already know about the many health benefits of this tiny yet powerful fruit. The aroniaberry, a tart, dark purple berry sometimes referred to as the chokeberry, has one of the highest naturally-occurring levels of antioxidants of any fruit including typical antioxidant powerhouses like cranberries and blueberries. However, the under-sung fruit might be unknown to some who could benefit from it.

Starting in the middle of the 20th century, the natural food movement crept out of the cultural fringes and approached the mainstream. For the past several decades, natural food has been gaining in popularity in American food culture. Nowadays, once-obscure foods like kale are a grocery store staple and even fast food chains are embracing the natural foods movement with their offering. Those who are embracing a natural diet, whether new to natural foods or long-time health nuts, can supplement their healthy diets with Wellness Shots from Superberries, the leading provider of ariona concentrate.

Superberries, a branded product line featuring the aroniaberry, is proud to announce that its Aronia+ Daily Wellness Shot was among the winners of the 2015 SupplySide CPG Editor's Choice Awards. The award was announced at SupplySide West 2015 in Las Vegas on October 5th. Superberries' Wellness Shot was noted for its combination of green tea and aronia berry concentrate. Editors appreciated the high ORAC antioxidant value of the supplement as well as the 100% daily recommended vitamin C from the inclusion of the acerola berry.
