 |
Acerola (Malpighia emarginata): Rich in vitamin C, a very good source of anthocyanins, phenolics, and carotenoids (lutein and beta-carotene), and contains bioflavonoids like kaempferol, quercetin and rutin. |
 |
Amla (Phyllanthus emblica): Rich source of vitamin C, ellagitannins, fatty acids, glycosides and flavonoids like kaempferol. Also contains phosphatides, essential oils and tannins. |
 |
Aronia (Photinia melanocarpa): Especially rich in anthocyanins and their glycoside compounds, and contains procyanidin compounds, carotenoids, quercetin, chlorogenic acid and citric acid. |
 |
Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia): Rich source of vitamin C and contains anthocyanins, cyanidin derivatives, flavonoids (mainly quercetin and kaempferol), phenolic acids, beta-carotene, tannins, stilbenes, lignans, chlorogenic acid, ellagic acid and citric acid. |

They also contain flavonoids like kaempferol, quercetin and rutin, and other phenolics like caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid. |
 |
Grape (Vitis labrusca): Contains polyphenols such as flavonoids like resveratrol, and other compounds like hydroxycinnamic acids and catechins. |
 |
Maqui (Aristotelia chilensis): Rich in anthocyanins (including glucoside pigments of delphinidin and cyanidin), and contains flavonoids (mostly quercetin), ellagic acid, indole alkaloids, coumarins and triterpenes. |
 |
Pomegranate (Punica granatum): Rich source of anthocyanins and a very good source of tannins like ellagitannin compounds (mostly punicalagin and punicalin), flavonoids, catechins, punicic acid, ellagic acid, ascorbic acid, citric acid and fumaric acid. |
 |
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.): Rich source of vitamin C and contains essential fatty acids (the omegas – 3, 6, 9, and the relatively rare omega-7 fatty acid, palmitoleic acid), as well as other fatty acids. Also an abundant source of carotenoids, xanthophylls, phenols, flavonoids, triterpenoids, catechins, sterols, tannins and polysaccharides. |
