Antioxidant Capacity and Phenolic and Phytochemicals in Black Raspberries - Cornell University
“Black raspberries are an excellent source of antioxidants in the human diet. With 10 or more times the antioxidant capacity than many other fruits and vegetables, even a small quantity of black raspberries added to the diet can significantly increase total antioxidant consumption. As few as four average sized berries (2.5 g each) has a greater antioxidant capacity than 100g (3.5 oz.) of many fruits and vegetables. With this level of antioxidant power, black raspberries can be an affordable, low calorie source of antioxidant in anyone’s diet."

Three Myths About Black Raspberry Capsules Demystified
June 19, 2012 -- BerriHealth shows that only 1.5 black raspberries are included in one 300mg freeze-dried capsule not the two cups, or 160 berries claimed. The USDA considers 40 black raspberries to be one nutritional serving. This is the equivalent of quantity 27 - 300mg capsules, therefore rendering the "two capsules per day" recommended dose nutritionally ineffective.
