I’m a fan of the purple stuff. To most people that means BEETROOT juice but to me that also includes concentrated BLACKCURRANT extract in the form of CURRANZ tablets which include the active ingredient blackcurrant anthocyanin-rich extract (BAE)
It tastes nice, I like blackcurrant jam in any case so this supplement had me sold on my currants of choice in any case. In all sporting seriousness, review the older scientific studies below, these do offer race-day performance booting potential as well as improved DOMS.
Also, check out the latest study: CURRANZ supports recovery through the management of OS and inflammation which concludes by stating
Daily consumption of BAE for 5 weeks serves to enhance the exercise recovery effectiveness of a single consumption of BAE and promotes beneficial/protective antioxidant/anti-inflammatory cellular events that facilitate exercise recovery.
