Blackcurrant powder is made from freeze-dried blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum), a berry known for its exceptionally high levels of anthocyanins, compounds that have been studied for links to:

• Improved blood flow
  
• Eye health
  
• Athletic performance
  
• Recovery and reduced inflammation

Blackcurrants are widely enjoyed for their rich, tangy flavour and potential health benefits.

Studies suggest blackcurrants may:

• Enhance endurance performance
  
• Improve circulation
  
• Support cognitive function
  
• Reduce muscle fatigue
• Benefit skin health
