ANTHOCYANINS, WHICH ARE BENEFICIALAS THEY FIGHT AGING AND CANCER,
AMONG OTHERS. FURTHERMORE, BLACKCURRANTS ARE PACKED WITH VITAMIN A,
A NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT, AND OTHERFLAVONOIDS LIKE ZEAXANTHIN AND

THIAMINE, FOR EXAMPLE, IS REQUIREDFOR THE METABOLISM OF
CARBOHYDRATES. RIBOFLAVIN,MEANWHILE, IS A KEY ELEMENT IN THE
METABOLISM OF ENERGY, PROTEIN, ANDFAT. WITH INCREASED METABOLISM RATE,
ONE CAN BENEFIT FROM THE IMPROVEDIMMUNE AND NERVOUS SYSTEM AS WELL
AS IN CELL GROWTH.
