Red Raspberry Seeds

Red Raspberry Seeds Contain a Specialized Antioxidant from Ellagitannins

Your body converts ellagitannins (a type of polyphenol found in many fruits) into ellagic acid. Although many fruits contain ellagitannins, your body cannot convert all sources into useable, beneficial levels of ellagic acid. Fine ground Red Raspberry Seeds are one of the few sources of ellagitannins that your body can transform into useful levels of ellagic acid - a powerful and specialized antioxidant.

Antioxidants are compounds that play a crucial role in maintaining your body's health by protecting cells from damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. 

• Free radicals are naturally produced by your body during processes like converting food to energy, and from environmental factors like pollution, smoke, and UV radiation. 
• When free radicals are not kept in check by antioxidants, they can lead to a state called oxidative stress, which can harm cells and affect overall body function.

Antioxidant Key Health Benefits

• Cellular Protection: Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, which can contribute to damage to cell membranes and other cellular structures. This supports overall cellular health and integrity.
• Supports Healthy Aging: By mitigating the effects of oxidative stress on cells over time, antioxidants can contribute to maintaining the body's natural resilience and healthy aging processes.
• Immune System Support: Some antioxidants play a role in supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms.
• Supports Overall Vitality and Well-being: By protecting cells from oxidative stress, antioxidants contribute to the efficient functioning of various bodily systems, leading to a feeling of greater energy and overall vitality.
• Aids Natural Body Processes: Antioxidants are involved in various physiological processes, helping to maintain balance and optimal function within the body.

Raspberry Seeds are for smoothie enthusiasts who own a high-powered blender or a coffee mill.

Consider our already milled product: EllagiPlex

Ellagic Acid is present in all parts of the raspberry, but it is most highly concentrated in the seed. It was found that ellagic acid is not changed, nor its potency weakened, by freezing, drying, or processing into a powder. The seed is processed into a maximum bioavailable flour, which frees the ellagitannins for immediate absorption and transformation into ellagic acid.

Small amounts of ellagic acid are found in other foods (such as strawberries, blackberries, walnuts, pecans, pomegranates, and cranberries), however raspberries have been found to have up to six times more.

Regulatory limitations do not allow us to make claims that ellagitannins (or ellagic acid/urolithins) can treat, prevent, or cure any disease, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, or inflammatory conditions, as such claims would require extensive medical research and drug approval.

Organic or Not Organic
We use raspberry seeds from responsibly farmed sources with "no agricultural chemicals detected" that come to us as fresh, whole seeds. You can grind them yourself in a hand-held mill, and consume them right away, before they go rancid.

The typical "organic raspberry seed" is already milled, without the protection of emulsifiers and anti-oxidants, so it is stale and rancid. If it is in a capsule, you cannot tell, but it is stale.

The organic milled seed costs about 8x more than the whole seeds offered here and is available only seasonally.

Directions for Use

Exsula Superfoods, Whole Raspberry Seed are of the Meeker variety, and much like flax seed they need to be freshly ground before each use, to preserve the fragile essential fatty acids from oxidization. Use right after grinding (in a small coffee grinder), as the seed will quickly oxidize and turn rancid.

This product is for those who like to grind and mix raspberry seed with other ingredients, creating a unique nutritional program.

Recommended Use

Protection from free radicals to safeguard you from oxidative stress. Aids many natural body processes. Supports healthy aging, immune system and overall vitality and well-being.
