May provide immune support

Your immune system may be boosted and supported by Aronia berries. Aronia berry extracts demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against the potentially dangerous pathogens Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus in test-tube research. It accomplished this by reducing the amount of a biofilm-like defense mechanism produced by the bacteria. In addition, a three-month trial of residents of six nursing homes revealed that urinary tract infections were reduced by 38 and 55 percent, respectively, in those who drank 3 or 5.3 ounces (89 or 156 mL) of Aronia berry juice daily.

By preventing the generation of pro-inflammatory molecules including interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-), Aronia berries may help lessen inflammation and maybe improve immunological function. The berries may also have antiviral properties. The ellagic acid and myricetin in Aronia berry extract may offer protection from the influenza virus, according to mouse research.
