Honesty is key: the best study, with 1 cup/day for 6 months, did not lower blood pressure… and yet they are still worth it. Two powerful ideas: (1) dosage matters—1 cup did work, half a cup did nothing; (2) your gut microbiota determines how much you benefit—only 1–2% of intact anthocyanins are absorbed; the rest is fermented by the gut microbiota into small metabolites that do reach the endothelium. They are more helpful for cognition in individuals with pre-existing metabolic risk or impairment (Krikorian 2022), not in healthy young people. Long-term cardiovascular association: Cassidy, Circulation 2013 (~32% fewer heart attacks).
