Sept. 3, 2024 – What gives cranberry juice a possible anti-aging edge? The primary answer is the beverage’s high amounts of antioxidants; cranberry juice has plenty of antioxidant sources, including vitamin C and compounds such as peonidin and quercetin. How do antioxidants available in foods like cranberry juice reportedly fight against the aging process? For one, they may help keep free radical compounds in check. As explained by Healthline, free radicals aren’t necessarily bad, but they need to be balanced by antioxidants. Without antioxidants, free radicals can cause damage at a molecular level. As the damage accumulates, the body’s system may start to wear down faster than it should.
