What’s a honeyberry?

A hardy wild berry, honeyberries (Lonicera caerulea) are native to the Rocky Mountains and other frigid climates around the world. For over 1,000 years, they’ve been used medicinally in Northern Japan and Siberia for their antioxidant properties. 

The honeyberry was known as “the elixir of life” among the Japanese Ainu aboriginal people because of its ability to reduce inflammation and support gut health. What they knew then in tradition, we now know through modern science.

Honeyberry juice is almost black, and this deep indigo pigment is caused by its rich concentration of anthocyanins, which act as antioxidants. They are particularly rich in a potent antioxidant called C3G (cyanidin-3-0-glucoside), which is responsible for the anti-inflammatory and gut health benefits of the berry, and other positive immune and neuroprotective effects. 

The perfect recreation support, honeyberries reduce inflammation and support energy and immune function. That’s why we like our berries on the go!
