Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialBackground Blackcurrant is rich in anthocyanins that may protect against exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and facilitate a faster recovery of muscle function.2Hunt JEA (2021)Consumption of New Zealand Blackcurrant Extract Improves Recovery from Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Non-Resistance Trained Men and Women: A Double-Blind Randomised Trial.
Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialWe examined the effects of New Zealand blackcurrant (NZBC) extract on indices of muscle damage and recovery following a bout of strenuous isokinetic resistance exercise.2Hunt JEA (2021)Consumption of New Zealand Blackcurrant Extract Improves Recovery from Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage in Non-Resistance Trained Men and Women: A Double-Blind Randomised Trial.
Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialThe evidence for the health-related effects of anthocyanin intake is growing, where benefits have been shown to include a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes [,,].4Willems Mark ET (2025)Anthocyanin-Rich Blackcurrant Supplementation as a Nutraceutical Ergogenic Aid for Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Narrative Review
Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialExisting and future research on the effects of the intake of anthocyanins in humans, with focus on beneficial health effects [], will eventually provide the evidence to support intake recommendations for anthocyanins.4Willems Mark ET (2025)Anthocyanin-Rich Blackcurrant Supplementation as a Nutraceutical Ergogenic Aid for Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Narrative Review
Blackcurrant Anthocyanins Exercise Recovery Randomized TrialFollowing an acute intake of 17 mg/kg body weight of blackcurrant anthocyanins, there was an increase in left forearm blood flow found using near infrared spectroscopy during typing activity, and there were changes in maximum total hemoglobin in the trapezius after maximal voluntary contractions after the typing [].4Willems Mark ET (2025)Anthocyanin-Rich Blackcurrant Supplementation as a Nutraceutical Ergogenic Aid for Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Narrative Review
