Blackcurrant Benefits
Blackcurrants are a vasodilator which means that they help to increase blood flow, making it more efficient for the body to pump oxygenated nutrient rich blood to the muscles, and remove waster products such as lactic acid.
What is vasodilation?
It is the ability of the blood vessels to widen and relax, allowing for greater volumes of oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood to reach the muscles —is especially important during exercise.
How do blackcurrants reduce inflammation?
Antioxidants protect tissues from damage by neutralizing free radicals that cause oxidative damage to your cells. Oxidative damage leads to inflammation, prolonging recovery. Antioxidants help the bodies natural processes to speed up and rejuvenate damaged cells.
