Simplisia vs Super Hydro™: extraction separates active compounds from fibre and starch

Super Hydro™ is an extraction method developed by BBK's extract manufacturing team. It draws out the active compounds of natural materials more effectively at a lower concentration. Based on our internal testing, a Super Hydro™ extract at a 2:1 ratio delivers performance comparable to a 5:1 extract from non-standardised producers.

Patent status: The Super Hydro™ method is currently patent pending. Even so, every BBK extract has been produced with this method from the start, so each batch you receive meets a quality standard above the market average.

Research & product opportunities

Blackcurrant Fruit Extract (Ribes nigrum): 3 Clinical Studies and Product Opportunities

Blackcurrant is a European berry rich in deep purple anthocyanins. New Zealand blackcurrant extract has been tested fairly often in active people, although participant numbers are small and results are not always consistent. The three randomized trials below cover exercise performance, blood pressure response, and functional drinks.

Study 1 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

New Zealand Blackcurrant Extract Improves High-Intensity Intermittent Running.

Perkins, Vine, Blacker, et al. International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism, 2015.

Study design: Double-blind randomized crossover trial in 13 active men. New Zealand blackcurrant extract capsules at 300 mg per day (containing 105 mg of anthocyanins) or placebo for 7 days, with a washout of at least 14 days, followed by a repeated sprint running test to exhaustion.

Key findings
  • Total running distance rose by 10.6% with the extract (4,282 m vs 3,871 m with placebo).
  • Sprint distance rose by 10.8%.
  • Heart rate, oxygen consumption, lactate, and perceived exertion did not differ in the first 4 stages.
  • Lactate at exhaustion tended to be higher with the extract (6.01 vs 5.22 mmol/L), but this was not significant (p = 0.07).

What it means for your product: Provides an example of a tested anthocyanin dose for sports product concepts. The sample was small and only active men, so it is limited to educational material.

Study 2 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

New Zealand Blackcurrant Increases Postexercise Hypotension Following Sustained Moderate-Intensity Exercise.

Shan, Cook International journal of sport nutrition and exercise metabolism, 2023.

Study design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized crossover trial in 15 active adults (five women). After 7 days of New Zealand blackcurrant extract or placebo, participants ran on a treadmill for 1 hour at 50% VO2max and then lay down for 2 hours.

Key findings
  • Average fat oxidation during exercise was higher with the extract (0.24 vs 0.17 g/minute).
  • The fall in systolic pressure after exercise was greater with the extract (-5.6 vs -3.5 mmHg compared with the control condition).
  • Diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure did not differ.
  • Heart rate variability during the 2 hours after exercise did not change.

What it means for your product: Points to a research direction in cardiovascular response and fat metabolism during exercise. For finished products, this is not a basis for blood pressure or fat-burning claims.

Study 3 · Randomized controlled trial (RCT) Strong evidence

Probiotic fruit beverages with different polyphenol profiles attenuated early insulin response.

Xu, Jönsson, Plaza, et al. Nutrition journal, 2018.

Study design: Controlled randomized crossover trial in 11 healthy young adults. Five fermented oat-based probiotic drinks, each with bilberry, blackcurrant, beetroot, mango, or rose hip, compared with a glucose drink.

Key findings
  • Drinks with blackcurrant, bilberry, mango, or rose hip lowered the early insulin response (0 to 90 minutes) after drinking.
  • There was no effect on blood sugar response.
  • The strongest effect was seen with bilberry and rose hip, which have higher phenolic content.

What it means for your product: An example of blackcurrant used in an oat-based functional drink. Participants were few and blackcurrant was not the most effective, so it is only educational material.

Claims you can make

Language guide for B2B and educational materials. Claims on finished product labels and ads must be the ones approved by BPOM at registration.

OK to say

  • Contains blackcurrant fruit (Ribes nigrum) extract with anthocyanins as a marker.
  • Blackcurrant extract has been studied in several small clinical trials in physically active people (cite the source).
  • Blackcurrant is rich in anthocyanins, natural purple pigments.

Avoid

  • Increases stamina, athletic performance, or fat burning.
  • Lowers blood pressure or blood sugar, or prevents diabetes.
  • Calling the product halal. BBK's blackcurrant extract is currently not halal certified.

All three studies were in humans, but they had 11 to 15 participants and the results were inconsistent: another trial with the same dose (PMID 32602793) found no effect on running performance. The exercise trials used New Zealand blackcurrant extract standardized for anthocyanins, so the anthocyanin content of your product determines how close it is to the studies; request a CoA per batch. BBK's blackcurrant extract is not yet halal certified.

Using this research for BPOM registration

  1. Add the three journals above to the literature review or the safety and benefit supporting data in your product dossier.
  2. Attach BBK's specification and per-batch CoA as raw material quality data. The specification always ships with the order; CoA is available on request.
  3. Match your serving size to the doses used in the studies, then confirm final claims with a regulatory consultant or BPOM.

The studies above were not done with BBK products. BBK extracts are made with the Super Hydro™ method, but study results do not automatically apply to your finished product.
