Aronia berries are a valuable source of antioxidant compounds that can upregulate endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase and decrease oxidative stress and inflammatory gene expression to decrease the levels of blood triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein. The extracts from aronia berries significantly reduces stress. Moreover, medical studies have linked the antioxidants in these fruits to other impressive health benefits, such as decreased inflammation, as well as reduced bacterial and cancer cell growth.
