What are Anthocyanins?

In nature, anthocyanins are the purple pigments plants make to cope with intense UV exposure from sunlight. In people, drinking concentrated anthocyanins help skin cells better absorb and reflect UV while neutralizing free radicals generated during sun exposure.

Why a drink?

Because it lets us concentrate bioavailable anthocyanins into a quick, tasty 2 oz shot—about the anthocyanin content of ~5 lbs of purple carrots. No mixing. No mess. Optimized for absorption.

†Equivalent to the anthocyanin content of ~5 lbs of purple carrots.

The mind behind the formula

Dr. Art Nonomura

Chief Science Officer

Dr. Art Nonomura is our innovator behind the HelloSun® natural product formula, and the discovery that made it possible. His identification of highly concentrated botanical pigments from purple carrots and essential minerals and vitamins for internal defense against UV radiation became the foundation of HelloSun. He established a safe and effective human dose. Notably, from 2019 to 2022, Art completed issuance of four patents.
