Benefits

Concentrated Anthocyanin Delivery

CyaniMax delivers high levels of cyanidin-3-glucoside — the most abundant and most-studied anthocyanin in many fruits including blackcurrants, blackberries, cherries.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Antioxidant Defense

C3G is potent antioxidant; cellular protection against oxidative damage.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Vision and Eye Health

Anthocyanins support retinal function and visual health; relevant to night vision and visual stress.

Supported by Trial 2

Vascular and Capillary Support

Improves capillary integrity and microcirculation.

Supported by Trial 1

Sports Recovery

Some evidence for anthocyanins reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress and supporting recovery.

Supported by Trial 1

Metabolic Health (Emerging)

Some evidence for C3G supporting glucose metabolism and lipid markers.

Supported by Trial 1

Mechanism of action

1

Cyanidin-3-Glucoside Activity

C3G is the most-studied anthocyanin individual molecule; potent antioxidant; partially crosses blood-retina barrier; modulates multiple cellular pathways.

2

Concentrated Single-Anthocyanin Approach

vs. mixed anthocyanin extracts (bilberry has 15+ anthocyanins), CyaniMax focuses on C3G specifically; allows higher delivery of single most-active compound.

3

Anti-Inflammatory NF-kB

Inhibits NF-kB; reduces inflammatory markers.

4

Eye Health Effects

Anthocyanins support retinal regeneration of rhodopsin (vision pigment); relevant to night vision.

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated.
Mild GI distress (rare).
Allergic reactions rare.
Pink/red stool/urine possible at high doses (anthocyanin excretion).

Important Drug interactions

ANTICOAGULANTS — modest antiplatelet effects.
Antihypertensives — modest BP effects.
Diabetes medications — modest hypoglycemic effects.
Pregnancy — anthocyanin food consumption safe; concentrated supplementation limited specific data.
Lactation — generally safe.
