The little blue berry with a big molecular secret

The little blue berry with a big molecular secret

WHAT IF YOUR DAILY DOSE OF BLUE 
COULD FIT ON A SPOON?
Molecular health expert (and friend) Dr. Dan Gubler recently asked a deceptively simple question:
 
How many blueberries do you really need?
 
His answer?
About 20 a day.
 
That's it.
 
Twenty little blueberries packed with a fascinating family of plant compounds called anthocyanins- including one called delphinidin.
 
And that deep, almost-black-blue colour?
 
That's not just colour.
 
It's a molecular fingerprint.
THE MOLECULE BEHIND THE BLUE
Delphinidin is one of the anthocyanins found in blueberries.
 
These are the compounds plants produce to help protect themselves from environmental stress- and when we eat them, researchers are finding that they interact with our own cells in some fascinating ways.
 
Delphinidin has been studied for its effects on cellular pathways involved in:
-Inflammation
-Oxidative stress
-Blood vessel function
-Brain health
-Bone health
-Eye health
-Blood sugar regulation
Blueberries are also one of the most extensively studied fruits when it comes to cognitive health, cardiovascular health and metabolic health.
 
But here's the part we really like:
You don't need to turn this into a complicated health protocol.
 
You can simply eat the berry.
Or...
Put the berry on a spoon.
 
20 BLUEBERRIES VS. 1 TABLESPOON
Dr. Dan's practical recommendation is around 20 fresh blueberries a day.
That's a great habit.
But fresh wild blueberries aren't always convenient.
They're seasonal.
They're perishable.
And you have to remember to buy them.
 
This is where Giddy Yo Wild Canadian Blueberry Powder comes in.
1 tablespoon GY wild blueberry powder = ½ cup of fresh wild blueberries!
 
So this isn't an argument against fresh blueberries.
 
Fresh blueberries are fantastic- and happen to be one of our fave summer fruits!
 
It's an argument for making blueberries easier to consume consistently.
 
THE WHOLE BERRY. JUST WITHOUT THE FRIDGE.
 
Giddy Yo Wild Canadian Blueberry Powder is made from the whole ripened wild blueberries from Nova Scotia. The blueberries are dried utilizing a proprietary process that's gentle and nutrient preserving. Not to be confused with their cultivated cousins, the wild variety contains abundant antioxidants, vitamins & minerals!
 
No added sugar.
No sulphites.
No complicated ingredient list.
Just wild blueberries, gently dried and ground into a convenient powder.
 
And because the water has been removed, you can keep the blueberry goodness right there in your pantry- ready whenever you are.
One tablespoon gives you the equivalent of ½ cup of fresh wild blueberries.
 
That's a pretty convenient way to add more blue to your day.
 
THE BLUEBERRY YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR
There's another reason we love wild blueberries.
They're small.
And intensely blue.
That matters because much of the research interest surrounding blueberries centres around their naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols- the compounds responsible for that rich blue-purple colour.
 
The darker the berry...
The more interesting the chemistry gets.
And unlike a supplement designed around one isolated molecule, a whole-food blueberry contains a complex mix of naturally occurring plant compounds working together.
That's the Giddy Yo approach:
Food first.
Molecules matter.
Keep the ingredient list short.
 
HOW TO USE YOUR DAILY SPOONFUL
You don't need to make this complicated either.
? Stir into yogurt
? Add to oatmeal or overnight oats
? Blend into a smoothie
☕ Mix into cacao or your morning drink
? Add to homemade chocolate creations
? Mix into chia pudding
 
Or simply stir it into water and drink it.
 
SMALL BLUEBERRY. BIG CHEMISTRY.
Get more blue into your diet.
Twenty blueberries.
Or, when fresh berries aren't convenient...
Reach for the spoon.

This is, hands down, THE best wild blueberry powder on the market! Fantastic taste, superb for smoothies or in yogurt. I have also been adding it to my elderly dog's food everyday for the past two years and the vet is shocked by how clear and brilliant his eyes are. The vet asked me what I was doing to maintain the dogs' eyesight, and I said it's the wild blueberry powder. I highly recommend this product to everyone for its immense and varied health benefits (just look those benefits up on the internet!). A+++ product, never discontinue this one!”
