The humble New Zealand Blackcurrant has now been elevated to ‘Superfood’ status with compounds within the fruit proven to increase mental performance indicators, such as accuracy, attention and mood.
The study also showed that juice from a specific New Zealand blackcurrant cultivar, ‘Blackadder’, also reduced the activity of a family of enzymes called monoamine oxidases, which regulate serotonin and dopamine concentrations in the brain. These chemicals are known to affect mood and cognition, and are the focus for treatments of both neurodegenerative symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease and mood disorders, including stress and anxiety.
For a delicious and easy daily dose of locally grown New Zealand Blackcurrants try Barker’s Squeezed New Zealand Blackcurrants which contains over 750 locally grown Canterbury blackcurrants or the lighter version Barker’s Lite Squeezed Blackcurrant syrup which contains natural sweetener stevia.
