Indian Gooseberry fruit is widely known in Asia and has been revered for 5,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine for its health-promoting properties.* The fruit contains unique polyphenolic bioactive compounds. When extracted and standardized in the production of Capros^® using a patented process, these bioactives significantly reduce free radical formation and deliver outstanding antioxidant activity over an extended period of time, which can contribute to the maintenance of optimal health.*
