BLACKCURRANT EXTRACT TECHNICAL DATA

New Zealand grown Blackcurrants, particularly the Ben Rua and Ben Ard cultivars (used primarily in the preparation of Oxi-fend Blackcurrant Extract) have, according to research undertaken by Hort research 2007- now a division of Plant and food New Zealand, 4 main anthocyanin groups :

delphinidin 3-0 glucoside, delphinidin 3-0 rutinoside, cyanidin 3-0 glucoside and cyanidin 3-0 rutinoside along with a modest amount of hydroxycinnamic acid derivates and flavonol

When processed in a 100% water only environment, with no added ethanol or other organic solvent, the anthocyanins in this solution do have the propensity to complex into a stable polymeric form (long chain). 

This format of Blackcurrant Extract has been shown and confirmed by our customers feedback, to remain very stable in a variety of applications and to aid in the delivering of known functional properties, such as:

• Maintain healthy eyesight by improving circulation, reducing visual fatigue, improving ability of the eye to adapt to low light levels
• Boost immunity.
• Have a positive influence on mood/wellbeing.
• Improve cognitive function.
• Improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure, improving blood flow, and decreasing the risk of heart disease.
• Assist with muscle recovery through controlled oxidative stress and inflammation, muscle damage and soreness.
• Improve symptoms of age disorders such as menopause.
