Bilberries have been used as a food for many centuries and are valued for their taste and elevated nutritional content. In Wwii, British Royal Air Force pilots noticed that their night vision seemed to improve after eating bilberries or bilberry preserve, sparking a renewed interest in the medicinal attributes of the fruit.
Chemical Mechanism of Activity
Bilberry was used for centuries for problems relating to circulation. Bilberry assists to strengthen capillary walls due to the presence of a group of bioflavonoids, anthocyanosides, found in the plant. The anthocyanadins are of specific benefit to the health of the eyes, as they can defend the capillaries of the eyes from damage. Bilberry is a luxuriant source of anti oxidants, assisting in decreasing the risk of cell damage attributed to free radicals. Free radicals have been implicated in the development and progression of cataracts and other eye conditions.
