The most important benefits of golden berries are derived from their high antioxidant content. Antioxidants are plant compounds that protect against and repair the damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules linked to aging and diseases, such as cancer. This makes them an ideal nutritional supplement for preventing certain chronic diseases, including various types of cancers. Antioxidants, like the carotenoids and polyphenolic compounds found in golden berries, neutralize free radicals.
