Black currant extract

Black currant extract is a natural supplement derived from the fruit of the black currant plant (Ribes nigrum). It contains various bioactive compounds including anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids that contribute to its health benefits. Black currant extract is derived from the berries of the black currant plant (Ribes nigrum L.), a small perennial shrub native to central Europe and northern Asia. The extract is rich in bioactive compounds, particularly anthocyanins (including delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, delphinidin-3-O-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside), flavonols, phenolic acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids[4][5]. These compounds contribute to its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Black currant extract has been studied for various health applications including cardiovascular support, metabolic health improvement, vision enhancement, and joint health maintenance[4][5][7].
