Heart Disease Hasn’t Gone Away
| Heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the U.S. for more than 100 years, yet over half of Americans don’t realize it. Today, nearly 50% of U.S. adults are living with some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Rates remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, and are driven by rising cases of high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. |
| And heart disease is a serious threat to women, responsible for roughly 1 in 3 deaths, and affecting women of all ages.Nearly 45% of women aged 20+ are living with CVDFewer than half of women enter pregnancy with good heart health Did You Know: better cardiovascular health is associated with younger brain age, slower cognitive decline, and reduced dementia risk. |
| Although the lack of broad awareness is alarming, consumers are becoming more proactive about their heart health. The global cardiovascular health supplements market is projected to reach $16.72 billion by 2030, reflecting a growing shift toward everyday cardiovascular support. |
Looking to innovate in heart health? Aronia is a powerful ally for cardiovascular applications.

– 6–8 weeks of daily aronia supplementation led to a measurable reduction of CVD risk factors, including systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol
– Stronger effects found among adults over the age of 50
– Aronia supplementation had a minimal impact on diastolic pressure, suggesting targeted support for elevated CVD risk markers without broadly suppressing blood pressure
Aronia is incredibly well-positioned to serve as an effective ingredient in heart health products and supplements. And with clinically studied dosages ranging from 45-60mg of aronia berry anthocyanins, it is easy and economically feasible to formulate into standalone or blended products.
