Aronia

Also known as: black chokeberry, Aronia melanocarpa

Aronia is a small dark berry with a strongly astringent taste and a very high content of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins. Smaller studies look at its effects on blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar.

What it is used for

  • support for blood pressure and blood lipids – weak evidence from smaller studies
  • blood sugar support – weak evidence
  • antioxidant effect – weak evidence for clinical benefit

Forms and how they differ

dried berry powder

also contains fibre, suitable for food

juice

concentrated form, watch the sugar content

dried berries

food form

When to take it

With food, any time of day.

Pairs well with

Yoghurt, porridge, smoothies; a varied diet with fruit and vegetables.

Do not combine / separate

Keep a few hours' gap from iron supplements – polyphenols may reduce its absorption.

Watch out for

If you take blood thinners, blood-pressure or diabetes medicines, consult your doctor. During pregnancy and breastfeeding use food amounts.

Safety

Considered safe in food amounts; do not exceed the label dose.

Practical tip

Soften the astringency by combining it with sweeter fruit such as banana or apple.
