Aronia berries have super-high levels of both anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, two powerful polyphenolic compounds called flavonoids that are linked to a wide range of potential health benefits. The concentrated flavonoids in Aronia deliver more powerful antioxidant benefits–– three times the antioxidant capacity of blueberries. Aronia has more of what the body needs to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, reduce inflammation, and maintain cell health. That’s why Aronia is The Flavonoid Superstar.

Guest: Jan Mills, Chairman, CEO and Founder
Jan Mills became personally intrigued by the health potential of dark berries while on business in Poland in 1989. It would be six years before she transformed her passion for berry health into a business: Artemis International.
Prior to starting Artemis, Jan managed or consulted in several development and business ventures worldwide. She was an economic development advisor to the German State of Saarland, and worked on USAID programs training Russian entrepreneurs. She was particularly interested in projects addressing the twin problems of emerging economies and women’s issues.
The Fort Wayne-based company was established on the basic premise that dark berries are good for you. Under Jan’s leadership, Artemis has become a leader in the science of dark berries, focused on providing natural, berry-based ingredients to the nutraceuticals industry. The Artemis family also includes Artemis Farms, which is focused on the commercial production of nutraceutical berries.
