The Krebs cycle, also called the citric acid cycle, is a metabolic pathway present in all aerobic organisms and whose primary function is to oxidize acetyl groups, resulting in particular from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, to recover energy in the form of eight electrons.

A bit of history...
Originally from Asia where it has been used for more than 4000 years for its moisturizing and skin purifying qualities, it has since been cultivated throughout the Mediterranean, but especially in Florida where it was introduced in the 1800s. A study conducted in the 70s giving it anti-cholesterol properties boosts its consumption.
Blackcurrant, is known since the ancient Greeks and Romans, but it is in the twelfth century that appears the 1st testimony on the therapeutic action of its leaves.
This testimony, from Hildegard of Bingen, recommends use as an ointment, to cure gout. However, the fresh leaf, could also be used, rubbed against insect bites.
