Lurking behind many conditions, you’ll find inflammation hiding behind your symptoms. These powerful and versatile nutrients can help put the inflammatory fire out.

Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidant flavonoids. Many superfoods and herbs owe their powers to their anthocyanin content.

Modern research is increasingly discovering that inflammation is an important contributor to several psychological and physical diseases from depression to heart disease.

Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants with strong antiinflammatory effects that could help reduce the risk of inflammatory disease. A new systematic review and meta-analysis put purified anthocyanins to the test against several key markers of inflammation.

It found that anthocyanins significantly decrease all of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

This study suggests that getting more anthocyanins through diet or supplements can control inflammation, which may help prevent and treat a variety of unwanted conditions.
