Antioxidants are well known for their ability to reduce the oxidative damage caused by free radicals in the body. A variety of important flavonoids, a type of antioxidant, are naturally found in blackberries, specifically the black elderberries used in these gummies. These include anthocyanins C3G, cyanidin-3-o-sambubioside (C3S), hyperoside, isoquercetin, quercetin, and more. Their presence helps the body maintain proper function in numerous systems, but especially in the area of immune health.
