Its antioxidant capacity is 50 times higher than that of vitamin E and 200 times higher than that of vitamin C, and its bioavailability to human body is 100%. These substances can be detected in blood after eating mulberry for 20 minutes; 2. Anthocyanins can also prevent cancer, enhance vascular elasticity, improve circulatory system, improve vision and skin luster, enhance immunity, inhibit inflammation and allergies, and improve joint flexibility.
