Blackcurrant Extract

Alpha01 Blackcurrant Extract 30,000mg comes as 30 vegan capsules, each holding 300mg of a 100:1 extract of New Zealand blackcurrants, Ribes nigrum, equal to 30,000mg of fruit. The extract is standardised to 35% anthocyanins, which gives the 105mg of anthocyanins on the panel. The ingredients are the blackcurrant extract, microcrystalline cellulose, a hypromellose capsule shell, rice starch and safflower oil.

The 30,000mg on the front is a fruit equivalent: at a ratio of 100:1, 30,000mg of blackcurrants are concentrated into the 300mg of extract in each capsule. Anthocyanins are the dark pigments that colour the fruit. Our guide, Blackcurrant Seed Oil vs Blackcurrant Extract: What Is the Difference?, explains the plant, the label maths and how the extract differs from the seed oil.

Take one capsule daily with water. The pouch holds 30 servings, one month, for £14.99, about 50p a day. For the oil pressed from the seed of the same plant, see our Blackcurrant Seed Oil 1000mg, with 140mg of GLA in two softgels.
