Japanese researchers at the University of Hirosaki have discovered a new property of blackcurrants.
These small blackberries improve blood circulation and reduce dark circles under the eyes. Of the 33 women studied, they found that blackcurrants reduced the bags under the eyes by increasing blood flow and therefore oxygen to the tissues under the eyes.
Apart from its benefits on blood circulation, blackcurrants also contains a number of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It has four times more Vitamin C than an orange and contains rare essential fatty acids.
In addition, the berry also exhibits anti-inflammatory agents against arthritis and is effective against urinary infections, kidney problems, rheumatism and cardiovascular problems.
