VitaBlue™ is a new wild blueberry extract available from FutureCeuticals. One gram of VitaBlue provides an all-natural antioxidant and anthocyanin equivalent of 2.5 cups of wild blueberries. In addition, one gram of Vitablue provides 6500 ORAC units. In studies conducted by the company, VitaBlue has been found to be a potent in vitro inhibitor of COX-2 enzymes, which are the pro-inflammatory enzymes that play a key role in the progression of arthritis, aging and age-associated conditions. VitaBlue, however, showed no inhibition of COX-1.
