Bilberry is an herbal remedy that has been employed for nearly a thousand years in Western medicine. Bilberry has been traditionally used for cases of non-specific, acute diarrhoea. Its astringent therapeutic action arises from the high tannin content of the berry.

Modern research lists bilberry's other well-documented medicinal effects:
- Assists vision
- Decreases vascular permeability
- Protects against oxidative stress
- Astringent and anti-inflammatory to mucosa of the intestinal tract.

Traditionally bilberry has been used to treat problems of visual acuity. In fact, fighter pilots during World War II used the berry to enhance their night vision. Focussing on the powerfully antioxidant flavonoids called anthocyanosides that it contains, subsequent studies have verified its "effectiveness in improving night time vision, faster restoration of vision after a glare, as well as in the treatment of many other eye disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma, as well as varicose veins." These same flavonoids "strengthen blood vessels, improve circulation, and prevent the oxidation of LDL ('bad') cholesterol, a major risk factor for atherosclerosis." Not only that, but they protect the stomach lining from digestive acids and act as a prophylactic against ulcers.

Bilberry leaves were shown to contain a particularly high chromium level of 9.0 ppm. chromium is a component of the so-called glucose tolerance factor, which is suitable for treating induced diabetes mellitus type II in animal experiments. Indeed, preliminary evidence suggests that bilberry leaf extract has blood glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol lowering effects.

BILBERRY

Bilberry assists with vision problems and high blood sugar levels ...

Bilberry became valued as a medicinal agent during World War II when British pilots claimed that eating bilberries improved their visual acuity, night vision and ability to adapt to glare. Scientific studies have backed up these testimonials by uncovering bilberry's antioxidant properties. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage.

Bilberry's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage to vessels all over the body, including those in the eye. Cataracts are caused by free radical damage in the lens of the eye and therefore bilberry can treat cataracts. Other eye problems that are also helped by bilberry are: macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, night blindness and myopia.

Bilberry has anti-aging properties because as an antioxidant it protects the body against environmental pollutants other substances that and lead to aging. Bilberry also stabilizes the connective tissue called collagen. Thus it is beneficial for conditions of collagen instability in the vascular system such as varicose veins, phlebitis and heart disease. Finally, bilberry inhibits blood clotting and can be useful to increase circulation in cases of atherosclerosis and diabetes.

The berries of the bilberry plant contain the greatest concentration of the medicinally active ingredients, anthocyanadins. Supplements often contain the whole plant in encapsulated form. By purchasing supplements standardized to anthocyanadins one can be sure that there are some dried berries in the formula. Bilberry can be found in formulas for enhancing eye health and are often combined with other antioxidants, berries and herbs, such as eyebright.

Bilberry should be used with caution if you are nursing or pregnant. Bilberry can interfere with iron absorption and should not be taken at the same time as iron supplements. Bilberry may alter blood sugar levels and should be used cautiously in diabetics and hypoglycemics.
