There are various claims including those relating to notably increased fat oxidation in endurance exercise and improved recovery times.

Here are some more recent findings for those of you who might be interested.

Review

Here is a link to my review of Curranz (contains Anthocyanins), it should have an up-to-date discount code as well. I occasionally get free samples of Curranz which I use for my own sport. I don’t get paid in any way by this company.
