Currant news

Blackcurrants are taking the spotlight on the superfood stage. Rich in antioxidants known as anthocyanins, the fruit is being praised for its effect on muscle recovery, performance and fat-burning, with studies showing that consuming concentrated blackcurrant supplements can increase fat loss by up to a third during exercise. It was also found that blackcurrant extract could potentially dilate the body’s blood vessels, causing a 20 per cent increase in blood flow and nutrient and oxygen delivery to cells.
