Health Benefits
We don’t call them a superfood for nothing!
We call ViBERi organic blackcurrants a superfood because they contain extremely high levels of Vitamin C, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. If part of a healthy, varied diet they help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Our blackcurrants also contain anthocyanins, the compound that gives our
berries their rich dark purple colour.
Research shows Vitamin C contributes to the following:
- Contributes to the normal immune system function
- Contributes to iron absorption from food
- Necessary for normal connective tissue structure and function
- Necessary for normal blood vessel structure and function
