A pigment belonging to the anthocyanin family, responsible for red-purple coloring in fruits like berries, cherries, and black rice, often supplied in supplements as a glycoside such as cyanidin-3-glucoside.
Why it’s used
Taken as an antioxidant compound, with interest in possible roles in metabolic and vascular health.
What the evidence says
Laboratory and animal studies suggest anthocyanins like cyanidin have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, but human clinical trial evidence specific to isolated cyanidin, as opposed to whole-berry extracts, is limited and not sufficient to establish a specific benefit.

"Cyanidin"[Title/Abstract]
This says what this database holds under these terms. It is not a finding that no research exists.
Context
Most human research on anthocyanins uses mixed berry or fruit extracts rather than isolated cyanidin, making it hard to attribute effects to this compound alone.
