Description
Fruit and vegetable intake has a profound and well-recognized correlation with health, and increased intake has been found to increase plasma antioxidant capacity in humans.[1] Fruits contain a wide range of bioactive compounds; they not only contribute to antioxidant protection but also support cellular health in a variety of ways. Isolation of these beneficial compounds and investigations into their specific effects on human health is ongoing. The hope is that concentrated sources of these bioactive phytonutrients will become a convenient way to augment intake of fruits and vegetables.
