Angela presents a bitesize biohack alongside Stacy Sims, in which they highlight the benefits of blackcurrant juice concentrate for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, particularly in alleviating PMS symptoms. They also touch upon the importance of vitamin D supplementation, especially in regions with limited sunlight during winter, emphasising its role in mood, immunity, and overall health KEY TAKEAWAYS Blackcurrant juice concentrate is beneficial for women with PMS or inflammation issues due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Supplementing with blackcurrant juice concentrate can help enhance total recovery and alleviate symptoms of bloating, cramping, and mood changes associated with PMS or PPMD. Vitamin D is crucial for mood, immunity, iron status, muscle function, gut health, and brain health, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure. It is recommended to consume around 20ml of blackcurrant juice concentrate or tart cherry juice concentrate for their anti-inflammatory benefits. Regular monitoring of vitamin D levels through blood tests is essential, and supplementing with at least 2000 international units every other day may be necessary, particularly during darker winter months to combat deficiencies and improve overall health. BEST MOMENTS "Blackcurrant juice concentrate is really more of a real food way. It's considered a supplement, but when you're looking at all the supplements that are out there, a juice concentrate is closer to the real food spectrum than a powder." "There's a little bit more evidence for the anti-inflammatory responses from the blackcurrant than there is from the tart cherry." "Vitamin D is super, super important. I can't stress how important it is, especially when we live in places that are far away from the equator and we have lots of time of rain and dark winters."
