ViBERi New Zealand Organic Blackcurrant Powder 20 x 10g Sachets.

We call ViBERi organic blackcurrants a superfood because they contain extremely high levels of Vitamin C, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. AS 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.

Organic blackcurrants, particularly those from New Zealand, are among the most nutrient-dense fruits on earth and deliver a wide spectrum of science-backed health benefits.

Exceptionally rich in anthocyanins and vitamin C!

They are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins—powerful purple pigments with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects—often containing two to four times more than blueberries, along with extraordinarily high levels of natural vitamin C (up to 300 mg per 100 g, three to five times higher than oranges). These compounds provide strong immune support, help neutralise free radicals, protect cells from oxidative stress, and contribute to healthier aging.

Supports Eye Health

Blackcurrants are widely recognised for their ability to improve eye health: regular intake enhances night vision, speeds up dark adaptation, reduces visual fatigue from screen use, and protects the retina through both antioxidant action and improved blood flow to the eyes. They promote better circulation by stimulating nitric oxide production, leading to vasodilation, reduced arterial stiffness, lower blood pressure, and improved endothelial function, which benefits overall cardiovascular health.

Helps in post-workout recovery

For athletes and active people, blackcurrants stand out because they increase blood flow to working muscles, boost fat oxidation during exercise, delay fatigue, enhance endurance performance (especially in cycling and running), and accelerate recovery by reducing exercise-induced inflammation and muscle damage.

Improves brain health

In the brain, the anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier, improving cognitive function, mood, mental alertness, and resistance to stress-related mental fatigue.

Anti-ageing benefits

Additional benefits include natural UV protection for the skin when taken orally (increasing resistance to sunburn and photo-aging), support for metabolic health through modest improvements in insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism, reduction of chronic low-grade inflammation, and protection of blood vessels from oxidative damage.

Anti-inflammatory and support joint heath

Thanks to their high polyphenol and gamma-linolenic acid content (especially in the seeds), they also offer gentle anti-inflammatory and joint-supporting effects.

In summary, daily consumption of organic blackcurrants provides comprehensive support for immunity, vision, brain function, heart health, exercise performance, recovery, and long-term cellular protection.
