Our Anthloading Drink delivers 300mg of anthocyanins per serving derived from New Zealand Blackcurrants. Anthocyanins are nature's super supplement. They support blood flow, help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, and promote recovery through their antioxidant properties.

Research suggests anthocyanin supplementation may improve exercise performance by up to 2.5%, while helping to reduce muscle soreness and support faster recovery.

Suggested use: Mix one serving with 200–500 ml of water and consume daily for hydration and anthocyanin loading.

Recovery & Soreness Science

Accelerated Recovery & Reduced Muscle Soreness

Our Antholoading Drink delivers 300mg of anthocyanins per serving derived from New Zealand Blackcurrants. Anthocyanins are nature's super supplement. They support blood flow, help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, and promote recovery through their antioxidant properties.

Research suggests anthocyanin supplementation may improve exercise performance by up to 2.5%, while helping to reduce muscle soreness and support faster recovery. Clinical studies demonstrate up to 84% lower Creatine Kinase (the primary marker of exercise-induced muscle damage) at 96 hours post-effort.

The Science of Anthocyanins with Dr Matt Carpenter

🎓
Dr Matt Carpenter · Lecturer in Sports Science at University of Northampton

Watch Dr Matt Carpenter (Lecturer in Sports Science) explain how anthocyanins derived from New Zealand blackcurrants can enhance endurance performance and accelerate recovery.

"Pretty Good Evidence" Research has shown improved blood vessel dilation and circulation, helping to transport oxygen to active muscles more efficiently.
Loading is key The research shows that a multiple day loading protocol is required for the biggest performance improvements.
The Most Important Thing A standardised anthocyanin dose, and with FLYCARB anthosystem, you are getting 300mg in each serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLYCARB Antholoading?

FLYCARB Antholoading is a New Zealand Blackcurrant drink with 300mg anthocyanins. Anthocyanins can improve performance by up to 2.5%, while supporting recovery and reducing muscle soreness by enhancing blood flow and limiting inflammation and oxidative stress.

How do anthocyanins improve performance by up to 2.5%?

Published sports nutrition research (see our Purple Paper for details) demonstrates that regular anthocyanin intake enhances endurance performance by up to 2.5%. Anthocyanins promote vasodilation, increasing muscle blood flow and oxygen delivery to delay fatigue.

How does Antholoading reduce muscle soreness and support recovery?

Anthocyanins are natural polyphenols that neutralise exercise-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and limit inflammatory responses. By enhancing blood circulation to flush metabolic by-products and restricting oxidative stress, anthocyanins can minimise muscle soreness (DOMS) and speeds up tissue repair.

What is the recommended multi-day loading protocol?

Mix 1 sachet into 200ml–500ml of cold water once daily for 4 consecutive days prior to race day or during high-load training weeks. Daily consumption allows anthocyanins to build up in blood plasma and muscle tissue for maximum race-day benefit.

How does Antholoading differ from HICARB ANTHO+?

Antholoading (20g carbs) is a daily priming drink used in the 3-5 days before race day to support recovery. HICARB ANTHO+ (50g carbs) is the high-fuel race morning formula designed for immediate pre-race energy and fueling during the event.
