Blackcurrant, renowned for its anti-inflammatory potential, helps moderate inflammatory processes, thereby contributing to the reduction of inflammation in animals. By offering protective action on cartilage, black currant acts as a chondroprotective agent, actively helping to preserve and maintainjoint integrity. In cases of chronic osteoarthritis, blackcurrant helps protect cartilage and combat demineralization.
Blackcurrant is a valuable ally in managing respiratory conditions, particularlyrespiratory allergies, asthma, and recurrent viral ENT and pulmonary infections. It plays a pivotal role during convalescence and in managing fatigue by providing nutritional and energy support.
It offers support in cases of hyperuricemia, helping to prevent kidney stones, and can serve as a supportive treatment for functional hypothyroidism.
Blackcurrant is both a modern and a very ancient plant, whose medicinal properties have been passed down from generation to generation. In France, the medicinal virtues of blackcurrant were highlighted as early as the 16th century in Jacques du Fouilloux’s work *La venerie*, which recognized its power to cure viper bites. It was later described in the 18th century as a remedy for all ailments in “Les propriétés admirables du cassis,” written by Abbé Bailly de Montaran. It was said to be “fortifying, tonic, appetite-stimulating, diuretic, and effective in dissolving kidney stones.”
