Anthocyanin-rich Blackcurrant and Vascular Function

NCT02459756 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables may improve human health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, certain cancers and type 2 diabetes, but the active components and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Berry fruits are abundant in anthocyanins and this study aims to test the hypothesis that ingestion of an anthocyanin-rich blackcurrant beverage will improve markers of cardiovascular health (health of blood vessels, inflammation and platelet function). Further, the study will investigate the anthocyanin bioavailability from the blackcurrant beverage.
