Bilberry 2000

Bilberry is a short, shrubby perennial plant that edible fruits similar to those found on the blueberry,cranberry and huckleberry.

The bilberry’s blue-black berry, which is creamy white inside, has been valued as a food for hundreds of years.

European herbalists have also recommended the plant’s fruits and leaves for medicinal purpose. What is most amazing about this little-known fruit is its ability to protect and enhance eye vision. 

The consumption of bilberries and its extract has been shown to improve daytime and night time vision, as well as prevent or help particular eye conditions.

Night vision is improved due to the anthocyanidins found in bilberries that boost the production of a pigment that helps the eyes to adapt to lighting changes. 

These anthocyanidins contain amazing properties. They provide 50 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C. Due to these high antioxidant levels, capillary walls are kept strong and flexible

Although there are few studies to support it, bilberry extract has been suggested as a treatment for retinal damage as it contains bioflavonoids, which aid in removing toxic chemicals from the eye.
