Support your immune system: According to a 2016 study that appeared in the journal Advances in Nutrition, raspberries are among the top natural sources of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and essential vitamin that plays a crucial role in contributing to optimal immune health.
Support healthy eye function: The high concentrations of antioxidant plant compounds in raspberries can help protect your eyes from oxidative damage and help maintain optimal eye health. Some of these potent antioxidants include zeaxanthin, vitamin C and anthocyanins.

Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C and other potent antioxidants and nutrients**
As with most berries, raspberries are known for their high concentrations of brightly colored antioxidant pigments, such as anthocyanins, which contribute to their deep red color, as well as flavonoids, polyphenols and ellagic acid. These vibrant fruits are also particularly rich in vitamin C, which is an essential nutrient that supports the healthy functions of your skin, heart, bones and connective tissues, as well as your immune and digestive systems. As a potent antioxidant, vitamin C is also very effective at combating oxidative stress and supporting overall health.
Aside from antioxidants, raspberries also contain a variety of essential vitamins and nutrients that support optimal health, such as dietary fiber, protein, iron, potassium, manganese, riboflavin, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, and K. Furthermore, both of the soluble and insoluble fibers present in raspberries can support healthy digestion and overall wellness.
