Description

Bilberry has long been a remedy for poor vision and "night blindness." .Clinical

tests confirm that given orally it improves visual accuracy in healthy people,

and can help those with eye diseases such as pigmentosa, retinitis, glaucoma,

and myopia. During World War II, British Royal Air Force pilots ate Bilberry

preserves before night missions as an aid to night vision. Bilberry works by

improving the microcirculation and regeneration of retinal purple, a substance

required for good eyesight.

The effectiveness of the fruit extracts was linked to a group of compounds called "anthocyanosides." These compounds are derivatives of anthocyans - the pigments responsible for the red, blue or violet colors in flowers and fruits. The majority of studies on bilberry have involved extracts purified to contain from *5 to *6 percent anthocyanosides. At least fifteen different anthocyanoside compounds have been identified in bilberry extracts. Most standardized bilberry extracts available as dietary supplements on the American market contain *5 percent anthocyanosides.

Bilberry is also commonly known as blueberries. This product is especially popular with European and American customers because of its rich nutritional value and particular effects.
