Discover 5 key health benefits of blueberry juice. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wat-maakt-blauwe-bessensap-zo-gezond\">What makes blueberry juice so healthy?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Blueberry juice has many different benefits for your health. First, blueberries are rich in healthy nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/de-voordelen-van-antioxidanten\/\">antioxidants<\/a>. At the same time, they are low in calories. Different types of berries each have their own health benefits, but blueberries score the highest when it comes to antioxidants. In fact, blueberries are among the most antioxidant-rich foods in the world. In this article, we describe the most common nutrients in blueberry juice and the health benefits associated with them. Read on and discover:      <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>which vitamins and minerals are common in blueberry juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what antioxidants are found in blueberry juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What science says about the benefits of blueberry juice for your health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What to look out for when buying blueberry juice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waar-wordt-blauwe-bessensap-van-gemaakt\">What is blueberry juice made from?<\/h2>\n\n<p>There are several varieties of blueberries. We will discuss two of them here, each of which has its own benefits. Both types of blueberries are a delicious and healthy snack between meals, or a nice addition to your breakfast. By drinking blueberry juice, you get a lot of the good nutrients from blueberries in an easy way. The somewhat larger, rounder berries you can usually buy in stores under the name &#8220;blueberries&#8221; are the fruits of the <em>Vaccinium corymbosum.<\/em> These blueberries are also called bunch blueberries because they grow in clusters on the branch. This makes them easy to pick. Therefore, this type of blueberry is widely cultivated; including in our own country. In North America this species occurs in the wild, in Europe it does not. You can often buy it year-round in the Netherlands; possibly in frozen form. Even then, this blueberry is still healthy.         <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wilde-blauwe-bosbessen-om-te-plukken\">Wild blueberries for picking<\/h2>\n\n<p>The blueberry that you can also pick in the wild in the Netherlands is a different type of berry, from the <em>Vaccinium myrtillus<\/em>. This blueberry is slightly smaller and does not grow in clusters like the blueberry. Whereas the blueberry has light flesh, the wild blueberry has dark purple flesh, so its juice is also much darker colored. Blueberries also stand out for their mild, sweet flavor, where wild blueberries often taste a bit more acidic or tart. You can pick European blueberries in the wild between April and June; sometimes there is a blooming period later in the year and you have a second chance. In general, wild berries are very rich in nutrients. That&#8217;s why, for example, we made our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/winkel\/shot\/antioxidanten\/\">Antioxidant shot<\/a> with mostly wild-picked berries.      <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/winkel\/shot\/antioxidanten\/\">Yes, I want to experience the shot with wild-picked berries<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vitaminen-mineralen-en-antioxidanten-in-blauwe-bessensap\">Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n<p>As small as they are compared to many other fruits, a glass of blueberry juice from a handful of berries gets you a good dose of healthy nutrients. Blueberry juice is a source of many different vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/winkel\/shot\/antioxidanten\/\">Our blueberry juice<\/a> also contains good amounts of vitamins B6, C and E. In addition, our blueberry juice also scores high when it comes to vitamin k and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/de-voordelen-van-antioxidanten\/\">antioxidants<\/a>, and it contains flavonoids. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/antioxidant-shotje-1024x1021.jpg\" alt=\"Antioxidant shot\" class=\"wp-image-127439\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antioxidanten-in-blauwe-bessensap\">Antioxidants in blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n<p>Blueberry juice is one of the richest sources of antioxidants available. They contain several types of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/de-voordelen-van-antioxidanten\/\">Antioxidants<\/a> are nutrients that fight free radicals. Free radicals can damage your body&#8217;s cells. Because of this, antioxidants can help protect your body from oxidative damage, such as from sunlight or air pollution. Anthocyanins, quercetin and resveratrol are also present in these healthy berries.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blauwe-bessensap-versus-andere-soorten-bessensap\">Blueberry juice versus other types of berry juice<\/h2>\n\n<p>According to science<a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1021\/jf801381y\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(1)<\/a>, most types of berry juice are relatively full of antioxidants. Compared to other types of berries, blueberry juice scores the highest, according to a Chinese study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3274736\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(2)<\/a> that compared blueberries, blackcurrants and strawberries based on their antioxidant value. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-wetenschap-over-blauwe-bessensap\">The science about blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n<p>Over the years, much scientific research has been done on the health benefits of blueberry juice. This has focused mainly on the effects of the antioxidants it contains. As part of a British study <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/carcin\/article\/28\/8\/1800\/2526773\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(3)<\/a> on the protective effect of antioxidants in fruits, 168 healthy subjects drank a liter of fruit drink made from apple juice and blueberry juice for four weeks. In this study, the researchers paid particular attention to the antioxidant ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This study found that the antioxidants in this fruit drink helped protect the subjects from damage caused by free radicals. Another, small-scale study <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23507228\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(4)<\/a> confirmed the protective effect of blueberry juice against oxidative damage.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-bewezen-voordelen-van-antioxidanten-in-blauwe-bessensap\">5 proven benefits of antioxidants in blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n<p>There has been scientific research on the specific processes in the body that the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in blueberry juice can have a positive effect on. The vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in blueberry juice can: <\/p>\n\n<p>1. protect against free radicals that damage cells, as blueberry juice is high in vitamin E, among others.<\/p>\n\n<p>2. promote energy metabolism. This is because vitamin K and C from blueberry juice help release energy from your food. In this way, blueberry juice supports your energy levels.  <\/p>\n\n<p>3. contributes to the proper clotting of your blood because vitamin K from blueberry juice plays a supporting role in normal blood clotting.<\/p>\n\n<p>4. is good for building cartilage in the joints. The vitamin C from blueberry juice is contributes to normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function. <\/p>\n\n<p>5. can help maintain strong bones, due to the vitamin K. Vitamin K helps with the absorption of minerals into bone tissue.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sap.je\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Sapje-6-juni-8-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"sea buckthorn berries\" class=\"wp-image-140030\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-het-beste-van-bessen-in-onze-sapjes\">The best of berries in our juices<\/h2>\n\n<p>Want to make your own blueberry juice?
