Studies increasingly show eating an anthocyanin rich diet in antioxidants can protect the eyes from oxidative damage and help bolster long-term eye health

Numerous tests confirm that black currant features specific anthocyanins that are known to increase blood flow to the eye and deter hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidation. Antioxidant levels—especially anthocyanins—and complete nutritional values have been studied by various testing facilities and accredited universities that show substantial support for the use of black currant for eye health. Black currant also has natural vitamin C, adding to the antioxidant capabilities in eye health.

It is believed that many potential eye health benefits can be derived from the use of black currant anthocyanins including the relief of eye fatigue, an increase in visual acuity, and arterial relaxation to increase blood flow to healthy eyes.

Secrets of New Zealand Blackcurrant

Blackcurrants generates substances called “Phytochemicals” to protect themselves from their growing environment. This explains why, as the environment where blackcurrants grow differ, the characters differ from one to another. Grown in New Zealand’s cold winters, long sunshine hours and strong UV rays in summers, New Zealand blackcurrants produce much more “Phytochemicals” in them than blackcurrants grown in other parts of Europe.
Anthocyanins, one of the “Phytochemicals” in blackcurrants, characterize the berry’s deep purple color and its strong antioxidant activity. New Zealand blackcurrants are high in Anthocyanin and the densithy is up to three to four times richer than that of blackcurrants from Europe.
