“...Anthocyanins are a group of abundant and widely consumed flavonoid constituents that occur ubiquitously in the plant kingdom, providing the bright red-orange to blue-violet colors.. Epidemiological studies suggest that increased consumption of anthocyanins lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the most common cause of mortality among men and women. ”
- Anthocyanins in Cardiovascular Disease
“This double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study investigated the effect of blackcurrant anthocyanin (BCA) intake on peripheral circulation… and it also assessed improvement in shoulder stiffness caused by poor local circulation. The results of this study suggest that intake of BCA (Blackcurrant Anthocyanin) may improve shoulder stiffness caused by typing work by increasing peripheral blood flow and reducing muscle fatigue.”
