ANTI-BLUE-CHEW
Nature’s Antioxidant Fruit Chewables For Kids and Adults

DIRECTIONS:    Children 5 - 17 years, 2-4 Chewables at the end of each meal.
18 years and over, 4-5 Chewables at the end of each meal.
Recommended for children 5 years and older - Not recommended for Diabetics.  Exceeding the recommended dosage may cause diarrhea.

WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS?
Antioxidants are natural substances that protect against harmful "free radicals", which are unstable molecules in our food, water and air - caused by pollutants, chemicals, smoke, smog and solar radiation, as well as co-factor deficiencies. "Free radicals" damage healthy cells. Antioxidants disarm the extra electrons on the "free radicals" molecules and help neutralize these atoms detoxifying them, thus making them harmless. While some antioxidants are produced in the body, others must be obtained from food sources and dietary supplements. Antioxidants are very important for the body's natural defense system to protect healthy cells.

Chokeberries, Elderberries, Blueberries & Black Raspberries contain flavonoids, polyphenes & anthocyanins with a high degree of antioxidant activity to build healthy cells.  Anti-Blue-Chews is a special proprietary extract complex of these berries. Health professionals generally recommend 3 - 5 servings of fruits or vegetables per day. The National Center for Health Statistics survey found that only 10% of the US adult population consumes the suggested amount, and 51% of children eat less than one fruit or vegetable serving daily.

Although the USDA recommends 3,000 ORAC Units a day for adult antioxidant protection; the average adult consumes only about 1,400 ORAC Units daily

CHOKEBERRIES: High in flavonoids, polyphenes and anthocyanins, as well. The extract from Chokeberries is the most potent for relaxation of coronary arteries. It helps protect coronary arteries and aids in promoting endothelial health.
ELDERBERRIES: Nutritional properties effectively combine with the other berries to provide antioxidant protection and improve endothelial health. In addition, elderberries have been found to increase liver activity and possess anti-viral activity.
BLUEBERRIES: Rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, they contain high amounts of flavonoids, polyphenes and anthocyanins. Researcher at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) studied blueberries and they found they had the highest antioxidant capacity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
BLACK RASPBERRIES: High in phenolic compounds (ellagic acid, gallic acid & rutin) and anthocyanins (beneficial antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral properties).  It also helps to build healthy cells.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

• May reduce "bad" cholesterol (research at University of California at Davis).
• Urinary tract health - By preventing E-coli from adhering to cells in the lining of the urinary tract, thereby reducing the risk of infection. (As noted by scientists at Rutgers University).
• Circulatory system - inducing relaxation and dilation of coronary and systemic arteries, as well as inhibiting platelet aggregation.
• Connective tissue health.
