Detailed description
Chokeberry, Aronia melanocarpa, also known as “black chokeberry” or “chokeberry”, is a berry native to North America, now widely cultivated in Europe and Asia. This fruit is recognized for its exceptional wealth of bioactive compounds and functional benefits.
Chokeberry fruits are an important source of polyphenols, including anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and phenolic acids such as chlorogenic acid. These bioactive compounds help protect cells against oxidative stress and contribute to a healthy cardiovascular balance.
Research shows that aronia can help modulate inflammatory responses and support the body’s natural defense mechanisms, thanks to its powerful antioxidant activity. It is also being studied for its potential role in supporting metabolic health, notably by helping to manage sugars and lipids.
In addition, aronia is used in formulations aimed at digestive and immune well-being. Its specific polyphenols help balance the intestinal microbiota and may support intestinal functions.
