PURE Blackcurrant Recovery
New Zealand blackcurrants contain anthocyanins. Anthocyanins give blackcurrants their deep purple colour. We use New Zealand blackcurrant berries and freeze dry them. We then mill the blackcurrants down to a fine concentrated powder that is full of flavour and vitality.
When taken as directed and in conjunction with a healthy & varied diet, the naturally high levels of Vitamin C in blackcurrants help your recovery as it supports immunity and blood vessel structure and function. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, so you can stay on top of your game.

Good for general recovery
Good for general recovery/wellbeing. Quite strong and a little goes quite a long way, so would suggest starting with less as the other reviews indicate, can always add more!

Good recovery option
Really strong taste so starting to put less in then the directions say! Otherwise easy to drink and great recovery option after long runs and 33 serves per pack
