The clinical trial, involving 120 men and women (average age 61, average BMI 24.5 kg per sq. m, 61 women) assigned them to receive the anthocyanin supplements or placebo (maltodextrin and blue colouring).

The researchers observed differences in NF-kB related inflammatory mediators after anthocyanin supplementation, with interleukin-8 ( IL-8 ), IFN and normal T cell expression decreasing by 25, 25 and 15 per cent, respectively, compared to placebo.

Changes were also observed for IL-4 and IL-13, two mediators of pro-inflammatory responses and inducers of NF-kB, with anthocyanin supplementation associated with 60 and 38 per cent decreases from baseline, respectively, compared to four and six per cent decreases, respectively, in the placebo group.
