Berry Extreme Powder

This may be Rishi Terne's master piece food powder
Berry Extreme is a powerful assortment of lyophilized (freeze-dried) berries.
Berries (in general) are low in calories and high in minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. Especially, berries are a great source of antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and resveratrol. In addition to protecting your cells, these plant compounds may reduce disease risk. Unlike vitamin supplements, berries contain all the intrinsic and associated factors of vitamins. For example, just 16 grams (4 teaspoons) of Berry Extreme provides 150% of the MDR for Vitamin C — but rather than being an ascorbic acid component of Vitamin C only, that is found in vitamin supplements, the Vitamin C in Berry Extreme includes all 14 components of “real” Vitamin C, and is much more beneficial to health.
When water is removed from fresh foods without using heat (heat would damage the delicate food nutrients), the resulting food powder is much more powerful (gram for gram) than the original food — because it is more concentrated. That is why there is more nutrition from one bag of Berry Extreme than if you ate bushels of the 14 expensive, and often hard-to-find berries that are in Berry Extreme. 16 grams of Berry Extreme provides:
120% of the RDI of Manganese
100% of the RDI of Vitamin K
33% of the RDI of Copper
25% of the RDI of Folate
as well as numerous other nutrients
No class of food has been more often associated with cardiovascular health than berries.

They're relatively high in fat, but their main benefit is from their antioxidant anthocyanins. Anthocyanins consumption has been strongly linked to oxidative stress protection.

Maqui berries are packed with up to three times more antioxidants than blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

Berry Extreme - Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are Berries So Healthy?
The main reason is that they contain powerful antioxidants that help the body overcome free radical overload.
Another reason is that they contain numerous minerals (brought up through the tree and plant capillary system from the ground).
Another reason is that the leaves convert solar energy into healing phytochemicals and vitamins, which are stored in the berries.
A final reason is that they contain very little carbohydrate in comparison to the mineral and other nutrients, It could be said that every calorie one eats "hurts", because minerals and other nutrient resources are required to process each calorie into ATP (the type of energy the cells of the body use to live). Empty calorie foods use up more minerals and nutrient resources in this energy conversion process than are gained from the food. Thus, eating those empty calories foods depletes the body over time, and one is worse off for having eaten them. Berries are the exact opposite, they fill up the body with more nutrients over time than what is used up in processing the calories in the berries.
Can One Take Too Much Berry Extreme Powder?
Yes, anything can be overdone, but up to two tablespoons, a day would be well utilized. But, beyond one tablespoon twice a day, only a very large person could utilize all the nutrients.
Why Is Berry Extreme Better than Eating Fresh Berries?
There are many reasons. But, the # 1 reason is that you don't have to shop for berries every day to get the tremendous nutrition berries to offer.
Another important reason is that you won't be eating mold. Almost from the time that a berry is picked, mold spores start to germinate and grow. They're growing mold during transport from farm to store and in the stores than in your refrigerator. Every day those mold spores keep germinating and growing. So, with fresh berries, you need to consume them completely every few days and buy fresh ones. With Berry Extreme, there's no moisture to allow the mold to germinate. It will last months with no danger of mold growth. So, you get the nutrition and not the mold.
