What Are Polyphenols — and
Why Are They Found in
Blueberries?
Polyphenols are natural plant compounds involved in protecting plants from environmental stress. In fruits, they are often linked to deep pigmentation and structural resilience.
Anthocyanins are a specific type of polyphenol responsible for the dark blue color of blueberries. These compounds help the fruit manage excess environmental energy, such as ultraviolet (UV) light, and are one of the main reasons blueberries are considered a polyphenol-rich fruit.
A Note on Supplement Formulation
Adding blueberries in their natural form — even one naturally rich in polyphenols — does not automatically result in a comprehensive supplement. The role a compound plays depends on how it is combined, balanced, and supported within a formula.
BrainXCell was developed with this principle in mind. Rather than relying on one isolated component, its formulation brings together potent plant-derived polyphenols alongside essential complementary ingredients, selected to work together in synergy. This integrated approach is what defines BrainXCell as a complete, carefully designed cognitive wellness formula.
