The best time to use blueberry powder for sports nutrition would be pre or post-training. The studies I showed above in this article prove that blueberry usage can help muscle recovery. Making a blueberry protein powder recovery drink is a very good idea. For example:

In one study, 168 people drank 34 ounces (1 liter) of a mixed blueberry and apple juice daily. After four weeks, oxidative DNA damage due to free radicals was reduced by 20% ( 14). Blueberries contain many nutrients to support overall health. There are two types of blueberries, conventional and wild. The wild blueberries, also known as bilberries and are said to be higher quality than conventionally farmed blueberries. This studyshowed that bilberries contain much more anthocyanins than cultivated blueberries. Wild blueberries contain more anthocyanins than regular blueberries Another study determined that eating 2.5 ounces (75 grams) of blueberries with a main meal significantly reduced the oxidation of “bad” LDL cholesterol ( 20).

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]One of the Powder Blue Blueberry’s best traits is that it is highly resistant to pests and diseases. The only real annoyance will be the possibility of birds trying to eat your blueberries before you harvest them! If this becomes an issue, you can put a net over your plant to protect the blueberries. Read more about common blueberry plant diseases here. Bas-Bellver, C.; Barrera, C.; Betoret, N.; Seguí, L.
