Black rice, also known as purple rice, has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its numerous health benefits. Black rice extract is one of the key ingredients in its health-promoting properties and contains high levels of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are flavonoids that give black rice its distinctive deep purple color. In this article, we will explore the benefits of black rice extracts and anthocyanins as well as other special components found in black rice.

The nutritional benefits of black rice are as follows:
- Rich in antioxidants
In addition to being a good source of protein, fiber, and iron, black rice is rich in a variety of antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that protect your cells from oxidative stress caused by molecules called free radicals. Studies have shown that black rice has the highest overall antioxidant capacity and activity. In fact, in addition to anthocyanins, black rice has been found to contain more than 23 plant compounds with antioxidant properties, including several types of flavonoids and carotenoids.
- Contains plant complex anthocyanins
Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoid plant pigments that are responsible for the purple color of black rice, as well as several other plant foods such as blueberries and purple sweet potatoes. Studies have shown that anthocyanins have strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects. In addition, animal, test-tube, and population studies have shown that eating foods rich in anthocyanins may help prevent several chronic diseases, including heart disease, obesity, and some forms of cancer.
- Promote heart health
There is limited research on the effects of black rice on heart health. However, many of its antioxidants have been shown to help prevent heart disease. The flavonoids found in black rice have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and death from heart disease. Anthocyanins may help improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The study found that taking two 80 mg anthocyanin capsules daily for 12 weeks significantly improved HDL (good) cholesterol levels and significantly reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Black rice contains antioxidants that have been shown to help prevent heart disease.
- Keep your eyes healthy
Studies have shown that black rice contains high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin - two carotenoids associated with eye health. These compounds act as antioxidants to help protect your eyes from potentially harmful free radicals. In particular, lutein and zeaxanthin have been shown to help protect the retina by filtering out harmful blue waves. Research suggests that these antioxidants may play an important role in preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness worldwide. They can also reduce your risk of cataracts and diabetic retinopathy. Finally, when the animals were exposed to fluorescent light, consumption of anthocyanin extracts from black rice significantly reduced retinal damage. Black rice contains the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, two substances that have been shown to protect your retina from potentially harmful free radicals.
- Helps you lose weight
Black rice is a good source of protein and fiber, both of which can help with weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. Anthocyanins found in black rice may help reduce weight and body fat percentage. While there is limited research on the role of black rice in weight loss in humans, it has been found that combining black rice with brown rice helps with weight loss. The women, who ate a mixture of brown and black rice up to 3 times a day on a calorie-restricted diet, lost significantly more weight and body fat than those who ate white rice.
- Lower blood sugar levels
Research suggests that eating black rice and other foods containing anthocyanins may help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
- Skin care
Black rice extract and its anthocyanins have a range of benefits. These antioxidants protect the skin from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollutants. They help maintain collagen levels, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Anthocyanins also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which are beneficial for acne prone skin. In addition, the vitamin C content in the black rice extract contributes to the synthesis of collagen and promotes youthful, glowing skin.
