Bilberry Extract Plus
Bilberries received their first major recognition during World War
II. British pilots noticed that eating bilberry jam before flights
seemed to improve their night vision. Many of the pilots claimed that in
as quickly as twenty minutes after eating the jam, their sight was
already improving.
In the years since the war numerous studies have been
conducted on this herb. These studies show that bilberry does indeed
improve night vision. One of the most encouraging studies holds that
over 80% of the people taking bilberry for the first time improved on
both their visual acuity exam and on a night vision test.
Researchers were able to isolate the flavonoid they think is
responsible for the vision improvement. It is called anthocyanoside and
is responsible for the deep red-blue of the berries.
Scientists found that anthocyanoside greatly increases the
eye's ability to see purples. These purples are the major color seen by
the eyes at night. This improvement takes very little time to occur,
just as the pilots claimed. For long term improvements, however; an
average of six weeks with regular doses is needed.
Bilberry concentrate is prepared to specifically contain at
least 25% anthocyanosides. Anthocyanoside is one of the more effective
antioxidants. In fact, it is ranked higher in power than vitamins E and
C.
In addition to finding that bilberry improves night vision,
studies have also shown that it improves nearsightedness and overall
visual acuity during the day as well. Scientists believe that this
improvement might be due to bilberry's effect on the blood supply. In
one study, the blood supply to the eye was increased by 75% in patients
taking regular bilberry supplements.
The positive effects of this small shrub are believed to help
more than just the eyes. Anthocyanosides are believed to strengthen the
capillary walls. This protection may lower the blood pressure, reduce
clots, help eliminate varicose veins and improve blood supplies.
Bilberry has been shown to reduce excessive bleeding and thin the blood
by reducing platelet adhesion.
