Micronutrients & recovery
Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (Cy3G) exhibits significant bioactivity as a DNA radical scavenger, gastro-protective agent, anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic factor, offering protection against Helicobacter pylori infection, age-related diseases, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and oral cancer.
Include Cy3G-rich foods like black elderberry, blackberries, and red grapes in your diet. While only a small fraction reaches your bloodstream, the compound and its metabolites work in your gut and through recycling mechanisms to support heart health, blood sugar control, and inflammation reduction.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Solid evidence supports Cy3G’s bioactivity as DNA-RSC, gastro protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic chemo-preventive and as an epigenetic factor, exerting protection against Helicobacter pylori infection, age-related diseases, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and oral cancer.
Why this rating
The paper is a review citing multiple studies; it asserts 'solid evidence' but does not present new primary clinical trial data itself.
