BAE Consumption Mitigates Against Seasonal Opportunitic Infections (Maybe)

curranzI’m a fan of the purple stuff. To most people that means BEETROOT juice but to me that also includes concentrate BLACKCURRANT extract in the form of CURRANZ tablets which include the active ingredient blackcurrant anthocyanin-rich extract (BAE).

 

This article from CURRANZ looks at some studies highlighting the potential prevention of “opportunistic infections”, which include circulating seasonal viruses and bacteria by using a natural supplement such as blackcurrant extract, which has no side effects, is also particularly good for the elderly, who often have weakened immune systems.

OK. You can see where that is going but it’s a very short article and worth a quick glance.
