Anthocyanins are compounds that give the blackcurrants their deep purple colour and have extremely high antioxidant levels. Due to intense UV light conditions, New Zealand blackcurrants are believed to have the highest amounts of anthocyanins of any cultivated food in the in the world. Scientists have found that anthocyanins from blackcurrants can help support and enhance aerobic performance, and can assist with increasing blood flow and power output. Increased blood flow can result in faster clearance of waste products during and after exercise. In addition to sports recovery benefits, the use of PURE Blackcurrant Recovery powder is also beneficial for everyday health and wellness.
