Dietary supplements: Anti-coagulatory and anti-oxidative effects of powdered fruit, vegetable and berry juice powder concentrates.

Introduction Micronutrients are involved in many important functions of the human body and an adequate intake is necessary for optimal health. They could be supplied either by the intake of food or through supplements. The aim of this in-vitro study was to examine the anti-coagulatory as well as the anti-oxidative properties of four supplements, namely a fruit, a vegetable and a berry powder concentrate, and a powder concentrate containing a combination of the three (FVB).
