Product Description

golden_lotus_botanicals_logo.JPGBilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus, contains vitamins belonging to the anthocyanin group. These nutrients are actually found in many fruits and vegetables and contribute to a food's color. Though soldiers of the past thought otherwise, research does not support bilberry's ability to aid night vision. Studies showed that its effect was minimal, though some feel the dosage used was inadequate.

The fruit has shown benefits fighting toxicity, contains powerful health nutrients, and may have other benefits for the eyes. Bilberries' anthocyanins are known to help strengthen capillaries, tiny blood vessels. Keeping the walls of these vessels strong ensures good blood flow throughout the body, including the eyes and brain. Bilberry may be better suited to help with cataracts and macular degeneration. Animal research has shown that it can block the effects of aging in the eye.

Bilberry also contains the important nutrients quercetin and resveratrol. The latter is rapidly becoming one of the more recognized supplements for optimal aging programs. Nutrients in bilberry, like resveratrol, quercetin and anthocyanins, are thought to protect against free radical damage. Multiple studies have documented bilberry's protection against toxin damage, specifically from potassium bromate, an additive commonly found in baked goods.

This protection against free radicals and toxin exposure may qualify bilberry as part of a nutritional cancer prevention program. Indeed, scientists are investigating it as part of an anticancer team of supplements. Bilberry can be helpful in protecting against damage from radiation (in a topical form, with the detoxifier glutathione) as part of a chemotherapy regimen . This means it may protect against the damage to cells that leads to cancer, and help patients better tolerate cancer treatments.

This nutrient appears to be very safe, with no specific drug interactions reported. Bilberry is typically, and best, used in conjunction with other vitamins. Diabetics may receive vision improvement from bilberry since they are prone to damage of the tiny capillary vessels that feed the eye.
