FAQ
- What are anthocyanins?
Anthocyanins are naturally occurring flavonoid pigments responsible for black currants' deep purple color. These potent polyphenols provide antioxidant activity, helping protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting the health of blood vessels, eyes, and other tissues. - How does black currant support eye health?
Black currants are naturally rich in anthocyanins, which help protect eye tissues from oxidative stress and support healthy blood flow to the eyes. These compounds have been studied for their role in maintaining visual function and supporting long-term eye health. - How does black currant support immune health?
Black currants provide anthocyanins, vitamin C, and other polyphenols that help support normal immune function. Together, these nutrients help protect immune cells from oxidative stress and support the body's natural defense systems. - Why choose a full-spectrum herbal supplement?
Full-spectrum herbal supplements use the whole herb rather than an isolated compound or highly concentrated extract. This approach preserves the herb's naturally occurring phytochemicals in proportions found in nature. Many people choose full-spectrum herbs because they provide a more traditional approach to botanical supplementation, reflecting how these plants have been used for centuries. - Is Swanson Full Spectrum Black Currant suitable for special diets?
Swanson Full Spectrum Black Currant is made with non-GMO ingredients and is formulated without gluten or dairy. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because it contains a gelatin capsule, which is animal-derived. Individuals following plant-based diets should review the ingredient list before use.
