About
New Zealand grown Blackcurrants not only contain more vitamin C than any other berry, but they also contain more antioxidant compounds than blackcurrants grown anywhere else in the world. Special compounds known as anthocyanins give blackcurrants their deep purple colour, and play a specific role in the skin to support the body’s natural production of collagen to improve complexion and fight against the signs of ageing.
Research has shown that anthocyanin-rich blackcurrant extract can significantly improve skin levels of collagen as well as elastin and hyaluronic acid.
Along with their anti-ageing benefits, blackcurrants have also shown to support a healthy immune system, brain, eye and cardiovascular health.
