Photoprotectant, anti-oxidant activity (More Information)

Not only anthocyanins but even simple structures such as chalcone can absorb UV wavelengths strongly. The ability of photoprotection is derived from its anti-oxidative activity.

Hypotensive activity

Quercetin in onions and flavanols in cocoa are said to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive animals [1], but their effect or mechanism is not clinically conclusive.

Anti-bacteria, anti-fungal activity

Tannins (proanthocyanidins) show anti-bacterial activity.
