Description

 

Natures Answer Bilberry-20 Liquid Extract contains concentrated Bilberry  Fruit Extract is standardized for  Anthocyanins . It is sourced from full Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) fruit. Bilberry is a natural source of anthocyanosides, a specific kind of flavanol believed to be responsible for the herb’s beneficial properties in promoting healthy eye function.

The bilberry, a close relative of the blueberry, cranberry and huckleberry, is a member of the Vaccinium plant family. In World War II, British pilots in the Royal Air Force began consuming bilberry jam for several weeks prior to night missions in order to promote healthy eye function.  It was the success of this peculiar dietary ritual which prompted medical researchers to explore the phytochemistry of bilberries and isolate the active components of this delicious food.  Eventually they discovered that the natural pigments and colors were responsible for the special, visual support properties of bilberry. They named the compound anthocyanidin and classified it as a member of the bioflavonoid family.

Additional Information

The bilberry bush is native to northern areas of Europe and Asia, the northern United States, and Canada. Its dark berries resemble blueberries. Its name is derived from the Danish word bollebar, which means “dark berry.” Bilberry has been used for medicinal purposes since the Middle Ages. The berries and leaves are the parts of the plant that are used. Historically, bilberry has been used for a variety of conditions, including diarrhea, inflammation of the mouth, urinary problems, and diabetes. It’s also been used traditionally to prevent scurvy, due to its high vitamin C content. During World War II, British pilots ate bilberry jam, thinking it would improve their night vision. Today, bilberry is promoted as a dietary supplement for night vision, cataracts, varicose veins, and other conditions such as atherosclerosis (in which plaque builds up in arteries).
