Mary Ann Lila, Ph.D. and Director of the NC State Plants for Human Health Institute in Kannapolis is a world-renowned expert in berries. She tells us: "The wild blueberry has a phytochemical profile that has been tailored by the harsh environments of Maine and the surrounding areas where they grow. The wild blueberry's adaptation to this environment has resulted in a diverse phytochemical profile that gives the wild blueberry an incredible potency for human health."
"Phytochemicals are compounds in plants that develop to defend the plant from environmental stress, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Once consumed by humans, they transfer these health benefits to us. The research study conducted here at the NRI shows that the phytochemicals specific to the wild blueberry are important for brain health."
