Research proves health benefits of blackcurrant

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 17, 2009 -- LOS ANGELES, Cali. (July 15, 2009) – American consumers will now have the opportunity for a naturally healthier body and mind as ongoing research continues to prove the unrivaled health benefits of the blackcurrant. The unique composition of the blackcurrant includes remarkably high antioxidant, vitamin and mineral levels, along with a rare yet essential combination of fatty acids Omega-3 ALA and Omega-6 GLA.

Studies have linked this GLA and ALA compound to improvements in a wide range of immune and cardiovascular functions, premenstrual and menopausal symptoms, brain health and skin conditions, along with assisting in weight loss and containing anti-cancer properties. Blackcurrants are one of few foods to naturally contain significant amounts of GLA and ALA. The blackcurrant also contains impressive levels of antioxidants, specifically anthocyanins and other polyphenols, which research has shown to fight against cancer, neurological and heart diseases, diabetes and bacterial infections while drastically improving eye health and vision.

When compared to other fruits, the New Zealand blackcurrant outshines the competition in overall nutrient density and antioxidant activity. Along with impressive health benefits, the blackcurrant’s unique taste, texture and deep purple color have made this fruit a staple around the world. After success in the European and Asian markets, along with penetrating Japan, the most advanced nutraceutical market in the world, Just the Berries is now making this miracle fruit available to the United States.

Years of research have been invested into the health and physiological benefits of the New Zealand blackcurrant, and Just the Berries is now sharing the power of this super fruit and their related blackcurrant products with American manufacturers and consumers. A plethora of health benefits and uses guarantee that the blackcurrant will take the United State’s health conscious market with force and quickly become the ‘Ultimate Super Fruit’.
