Until recently, the most popular source of anthocyanins was from various berries, particularly the blackberry. Researchers at Beijing Gingko Group (BGG), being experts with the extractions of both European bilberry and other fine ingredients, discovered through existing research studies and their own testing that a proprietary extraction of a unique Chinese agricultural product actually yielded higher concentrations of anthocyanins and C3G than with berries.
C3G is the most active and powerful anthocyanin and BGG is pioneering the development with a high potency (35% to 50%) C3G product called super C3G™. BGG is also in the process of developing further clinical research to support the healthy use of C3G.

Anthocyanins are natural pigments that provide color to fruits, vegetables, and other plants. Of the 14 main anthocyanins, C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside) is the most powerful. Recently, there has been new research looking at C3G as an antioxidant and its potential health benefits. Research shows C3G and anthocyanins in general may be linked to improving vision, controlling diabetes, improving circulation, preventing cancer and retarding the effects of aging, particularly the loss of memory and motor skills.
Why do you want to formulate with C3G?
- A recent animal study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry showed C3G has significant chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic activity in vivo. (1)
- C3G was found to have the highest ORAC activity compared with the 14 main anthocyanins. (2)
- C3G has 3.5 times stronger ORAC activity than Trolox (analog of vitamin E). (2)
- C3G is bioavailable. (3,4,5,6)
- Thousands of studies support the safety and health benefits of anthocyanins and C3G.
