Fniberry® Haskapberry Extract Series
Lonicera caerulea – The world’s richest C3G anthocyanin berry
Product Overview
Fniberry® Haskapberry Extract is produced from Lonicera caerulea, also known as haskap berry, blue honeysuckle, or honeyberry — a rare wild berry traditionally revered in Russia, Japan, and Northern China as a longevity-promoting superfruit.
Among all berries, haskap is uniquely rich in cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) — the most biologically active anthocyanin form for neuroprotection, metabolic regulation, and vascular health.
Botanical & Ecological Advantage
-
Botanical name: Lonicera caerulea
-
Common names: Haskapberry, Honeyberry, Blue Honeysuckle
-
Part used: Fruit
Haskap is one of the most cold-resistant berry plants on Earth:
-
Dormant tolerance: –50°C
-
Flower survival: –8°C
-
Short dormancy cycle
-
Grows in cold, mountainous, low-pollution regions
This extreme survival pressure forces the plant to accumulate exceptionally dense polyphenols and anthocyanins.
Unique Nutritional Profile
Haskap berries contain:
-
Vitamin C: 29–187 mg / 100 g (far higher than most fruits)
-
Vitamin E, B1, B2, PP (niacin) — with PP levels nearly 100× higher than typical fruits
-
16 amino acids (9 essential)
-
Flavonoids: 760–1390 mg / 100 g
-
High mineral content (Mg, Zn, Se, Fe, Ca)
The dominant anthocyanin is:
Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G)
Which represents 79–92% of total anthocyanins and over 60% of total polyphenols.
Core Functional Benefits
🛡 Powerful Antioxidant
Haskap exhibits one of the strongest known ROS-scavenging capacities, neutralizing:
-
Superoxide
-
Hydroxyl radicals
-
Hydrogen peroxide
This protects DNA, proteins and cell membranes, supporting anti-aging and immune resilience.
🔥 Anti-Inflammatory
Haskap extract significantly reduces:
-
IL-6
-
TNF-α
-
PGE₂
-
COX-2
With anti-inflammatory efficacy comparable to pharmaceutical COX-2 inhibitors.
🧠 Neuroprotection
C3G inhibits GSK-3β, preventing neuron apoptosis and protecting hippocampal neurons — supporting cognitive health and Alzheimer’s prevention.
❤️ Cardiovascular & Circulation
Haskap improves:
-
Nitric oxide (NO) production
-
Blood vessel elasticity
-
Lipid and glucose metabolism
Helping regulate blood pressure and protect against atherosclerosis.
🩸 Anti-Diabetic Support
C3G:
-
Protects pancreatic β-cells
-
Increases insulin secretion
-
Reduces carbohydrate digestion via α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition
Supporting blood glucose control.
🧬 Anti-Tumor Activity
Haskap anthocyanins:
-
Induce cancer cell apoptosis
-
Inhibit metastasis and invasion
-
Suppress tumor growth in colon, liver, breast, prostate and leukemia cell lines.
Traditional & Modern Use
Haskap has been used in East Asian medicine to:
-
Clear heat and toxins
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Improve vision
-
Protect cardiovascular function
It is also used in space-nutrition programs in Russia due to its extreme antioxidant density.
