WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES
Black Currant Bud by Genestra Brands® is a gemmotherapy preparation featuring an extract of young Ribes nigrum buds.
Gemmotherapy, also referred to within the broader practice of phytoembryotherapy, uses embryonic plant tissues such as buds and young shoots. These developing tissues contain rapidly dividing meristem cells and naturally occurring plant compounds.
Young plant tissues may contain a variety of phytochemicals, including polyphenols, flavonoids and other phytonutrients. Gemmotherapy preparations traditionally harvest these tissues during active stages of plant growth.
Black currant has a history of use in phytotherapy, with the bud preparation associated with several areas of traditional botanical wellness, including joint, digestive and respiratory health.
Each drop provides a 1:20 black currant bud extract, equivalent to 1.4 mg of dried black currant bud.
