Records of the National Library of Medicine database at the United States National Institutes of Health prove this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile New Zealand accounts for only 4% of the world\u2019s total production of blackcurrants, the high amount of unique anthocyanin compositions means that New Zealand blackcurrants have much higher nutritional values over other blackcurrant berries and are also pure and sustainable quality berries,\u201d explained Eddie Shiojima, founder of Just The Berries PD (JTBPD) Corp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JTBPD is the world\u2019s leading supplier of New Zealand blackcurrant-based nutraceutical health ingredients, supplements and functional foods. The company has been involved in the research, production and distribution of New Zealand blackcurrants with the NZ Blackcurrant Cooperative and National Institute of Plant and Food for two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have produced scientific studies with Plant and Food Research, Massey University in New Zealand, Niigata University and Chubu University in Japan and North Carolina State University and Connecticut University,\u201d Shiojima said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur studies show the unique anthocyanins and other polyphenols found in New Zealand\u2019s blackcurrants improve vision, combat obesity and prevent cognitive decline that can lead to Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease and dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany Japanese doctors recommend the daily intake of New Zealand blackcurrant product to prevent age-related conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts,\u201d noted Shiojima.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
