Abstract in brief

  • Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum), native to Europe and Asia, are widely cultivated and have traditional medicinal uses, with modern research highlighting their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties.
  • The health benefits of blackcurrants are mainly due to their biochemical constituents like anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have been studied for their potential to help with conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, eye diseases, kidney stones, and diabetic neuropathy.
  • While promising, more research is needed to understand the exact mechanisms of how blackcurrants work and to conduct well-designed clinical trials to confirm their safety and effectiveness for use in medical treatments.]
