Organic Aronia Shot

This is a review of "100% Organic Aronia Berry Juice 12 Daily Shots (60ml) - Glowing Skin - Rich in Anthocyanins - Straight from Farm in Europe - Undiluted - No Added Sugar - Non-GMO - Recyclable Glass Bottle" I had never heard of Aronia Berry juice before ordering this so I had no idea what to expect. You get 12 bottles, all individually bubble-wrapped, in a box. Each bottle contains 60ml of juice. It is extremely (!) bitter/tart to drink so don't expect to take any pleasure from it, regardless of any anticipated health benefits! It's not cheap either, at just over forty quid (at time of review) for 12 bottles. I would suggest that you need to be sure that this is something you wanted, rather than buying on a whim. - - - - - - - - - - Note: As a member of the Vine program I was supplied with this item free of charge.

Aronia berries are said to have anti inflammatory as well as skin benefits. Here you get 12x60ml glass bottles of pure aronia berry juice. The taste is quite tart and not too sweet and does remind me a little of cherry juice minus the sweetness. I found these easy to drink. Hard to pinpoint any effects as there are so many factors that play a role but I’d definitely get these again.

Unlike other reviewers, I did in fact receive a full pack of twelve bottles. It's nice that the bottles and caps are recyclable, but then they've undone that good work by individually wrapping the bottles in bubble wrap! The aronia berry juice smells like elderberries, and has a very similar tartness. It's mouth-puckeringly tart! It sort of lines your mouth and makes it feel a bit furry. I found the best way to drink it is with ice-cold soda water, I add one bottle to 400ml of water. I haven't tried it in smoothies. I'd recommend not drinking it close to having a coffee, as I found it upset my stomach a little. After taking these for a week, I haven't noticed any significant differences in my skin, which given the price of these small juices, is rather disappointing.

I have been researching on the benefits of aronia berry juice, there are tons. The drink has a bit of sweetness but mostly the tangy and astringent like strong lemon tea. I would not say it is a difficult drink, it is smooth and gives you a kick. The drink is tannin-rich like some of the wines. Very rich in antioxidant, research says it can delay aging. I am taking this once a day and see how it goes. All bottles are individually bubble-wrapped, all came in good condition. it drop one star from me for the cap is not actually sealed but just hand tightened, so I doubt if this will actually last the full best before date which is about 14months from receiving.

These shots taste awful! I was looking forward to taking these and boosting my skin and vitamin levels - but after only one I don’t know if I will be having the rest. Almost made me throw up as the taste was bitter and not at all nice. Not worth it, unless you have no tastebuds
