High potency polyphenols help you train harder, recover faster, and stay younger for longer.
Polyphenols are powerful plant compounds that mop up free radicals which damage our human bodies, but are also a normal part of life.
Polyphenols are found in ingredients like blackcurrants, purple berries, green tea, and cacao. And when delivered in high-potency doses, they go far beyond basic antioxidant support, and help maintain your longterm health and appearance.
Among the most studied are anthocyanins, a subclass of polyphenols responsible for the deep purple, blue, and red hues in foods like blackcurrants, blueberries, and cherries. These compounds deliver powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce muscle soreness, support vascular health, skin health, and accelerate recovery after training.
High-potency anthocyanins have also been shown to improve blood flow, enhance endurance capacity, support cognitive function by increasing nitric oxide availability and reducing oxidative stress in the brain and body, and support eye health and overall immunity. Their protective role extends to your mitochondria (the energy-producing engines of your cells) making them crucial allies in slowing cellular ageing and maintaining performance over time.
Every serve of Lúthri Athletic Nutrients contains a large, clinically effective 2,000mg dose of high-potency polyphenols sourced from New Zealand blackcurrants which are naturally higher in active anthocyanins than blackcurrants grown in other parts of the world. Notably, blackcurrants may have up to 50% more protective anthocyanins than the equivalent weight in blueberries.
