The plant also contains flavonoids, which are thought to have antioxidant compounds which could help protect cells. The raspberry leaf also contains vitamins C, E, and various B vitamins, as well as minerals like calcium and iron. Raspberry leaf powder is typically used in capsules, for ease of consumption and to allow for standardised dosages.
