Blackberries

Blackberries rank among the most anti-inflammatory fruits due to exceptionally high anthocyanin content, ellagic acid, and fiber that work synergistically to reduce inflammation.

Ingredient score breakdown

Anthocyanins

-1.3

Among the highest levels of any berry, these compounds significantly lower inflammatory biomarkers and oxidative stress.

Ellagic acid

-0.8

Phenolic compound that blocks NF-kB signaling and reduces expression of inflammatory genes.

Vitamin K

-0.5

Regulates inflammatory responses by modulating cytokine production and supporting proper immune function.
