Bilberry Supplements

Health Benefits of Bilberry

The flavonoid, anthocyanidins, found in this antioxidant berry provides the blue color of the berry and is the main active ingredient of this plant.

Bilberries have a very high anthrocyanin content because the pigment is found in both the skin and the flesh.

According to Dr. Marc Grossman, O.D., L.Ac., optometrist and licensed acupuncturist, "Bilberry improves circulation in the blood vessels of the eye, helps maintain the integrity of capillaries, stabilizes collagen, and stimulates the production of rhodopsin essential for night vision."

Bilberry for Eyes

Flavonoids have antioxidant properties which protect cells in the body and cell membranes from the damaging effects of free radicals.

According to Dr. Lylas Mogk, author of Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving and Maximizing Your Sight,"Almost every single one of the risk factors we have for macular degeneration can be linked to free radicals."

Anthocyanin is an antioxidant that appears to have the effect of:

fortifying blood-vessel walls,

improving blood flow and

improving oxygen delivery

to the tiny blood vessels that keep our eyes healthy, as well as helping to maintain good circulation.
