at This stage it is still unclear what puolukassa cause the study to detect health effects. This can be a single compound or multi-factor interactions.

cell culture experiments were identified, however, compounds, which could be useful for effects behind. Resveratrol on, kversitiini in, kemferol, and proantosyanideja have observed effects, which can prevent the body inflammation.

These substances are found in other berries and they are known to have numerous health effects. For example, resveratrol is commonly found in dark grapes, and it is known to be punaviinille, too, presented the health impact of cardiovascular disease prevention.

the Next trials, one wants to understand what things puolukassa affect and how. After that, it can also be used to determine how much the berries have to eat to achieve the effect.

in the End the study comes to examine the impact on people, which brings its own challenges, as the number of variables increases.

– Consumers are very careful about what cosmetics are used and how ingredients are affected. Cosmetics companies have noticed that the research has been continued only of compounds with, Jaakkola says.

the North lingon more effective?

The anti-inflammatory properties may offer some help also other diseases. Cell-level studies is professor Eeva Moilanen, according to the found signs that the compounds could help rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Moilanen guess is that the arctic berries and other natural products can contain more functional compounds than the south increased.

growth environment conditions, such as abundant amount of light and low temperatures can affect the phenol in the compounds and their relations.

the berries of the research still needed much, as in the EU, food products or cosmetics in an approved health claim must be a clear research screen. Otherwise, the product may not be marketed for health benefits.

This is also why lingon needs further study weight control and obesity ancillary disease prevention related.
