The nutritional appeal of peels

Apple peels are naturally rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. In fact, a study comparing the nutritional content of apple flesh and apple peel showed that the highest phenolic & flavonoid content (including quercetin) was in the peels.² The high level of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in apple peels work together to support the inflammation response sytem, fight oxidative stress and quench free radical activity in order to provide significant health benefits.* AppleActiv is available as both an organic dried apple peel powder (DAPP) and as an all-natural standardized extract.

A large group of antioxidants in AppleActiv products are health-promoting flavonoids. Flavonoids provide numerous health benefits. Apple peel flavonoids have been shown to inhibit the activity of the ACE enzyme, which helps support the body’s ability to maintain healthy blood pressure.³ Quercetin, another flavonoid in apple peels, supports healthy histamine activity.⁴
