Bilberry Extract/Powder
Bilberry is a common wild berry in Europe. It is rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals. It has antioxidant, eye protection, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular health regulating effects. Long-term consumption can support overall health.
- Antioxidant and anti-aging
The deep purple color of bilberry comes from high concentrations of anthocyanins (a powerful antioxidant), which can neutralize free radicals, slow down the damage of oxidative stress to cells, and delay aging. Studies have shown that its antioxidant capacity is more than 20 times that of vitamin C, which helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases (such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases).
- Eye protection and vision improvement
Anthocyanins can promote retinal microcirculation and enhance rhodopsin regeneration, thereby improving visual acuity in dim light environments. Clinical studies have shown that bilberry extract can relieve visual fatigue and has an auxiliary improvement effect on eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, especially for people who use their eyes for a long time.
- Anti-inflammatory and immune regulation
Polyphenols in bilberry can inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α and IL-6) and reduce chronic inflammation. Its antibacterial properties can also inhibit pathogens such as Helicobacter pylori, enhance mucosal barrier function, and assist in preventing diseases such as gastritis and enteritis.
- Cardiovascular health support
Anthocyanins improve blood circulation by dilating blood vessels and reducing blood viscosity, while inhibiting the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. Long-term intake can help regulate blood pressure and blood lipids and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
- Regulating blood sugar and metabolism
Studies have shown that ingredients such as myricetin in bilberry can increase insulin sensitivity and delay the rise in blood sugar after meals. Its dietary fiber can also promote intestinal health, regulate intestinal flora, and indirectly improve indicators related to metabolic syndrome.
