Anthocyanins
Anthocycanins are produced by plants for self-protection against, sun, irradiation, diseases, and biological enemies. Anthocyanins are antioxidant flavonoids that protect many body systems and have some of the strongest physiological effects of any plant compounds. Anthocyanins were found in one study to have the strongest antioxidizing power of 150 flavonoids. 1 (Approximately 4,000 different flavonoids have been identified.)

Benefits of Anthocyanins:

• Neutralize enzymes that destroy connective tissue, prevents oxidants from damaging connective tissue, and repair damaged proteins in the blood-vessel walls.
• Lightens allergic reactions and increase capillary permeability.
• Promote cardiovascular health by preventing oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and protecting blood vessels wall from oxidative damage.
• Maintain small blood vessel integrity by stabilizing capillary walls.
• May improve eyesights
• Support healthy blood sugar level

Total Radical Trapping Potential (TRAP) : is a measure of the amount of free radicals that can be trapped and therefore represent the total antioxidant present.

Total Antioxidant Reactivity (TAR): indicate the capacity to decrease steady state of free radical concentration and is a better index of antioxidant quality. Total phenols is positively correlate to TRAP and TAR.
