Bilberry Extract, 200 mg, 60 Caps

Bilberry, a European relative of the American blueberry, is most widely used to protect and improve vision. Studies reveal that consuming Bilberry helps keep the capillary walls strong while strengthening collagen and connective tissue structures. It is a well-known fact that during World War II British bomber pilots ate bilberry jam in an effort to improve their night vision. Research conducted in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s suggests that special phyto-chemicals referred to as "anthocyanidins" found in bilberry, are responsible for improving symptoms for a variety of visual disturbances. It has been speculated that these anthocyanidins may provide 50 times the antioxidant protection of vitamin E. Bilberry has shown positive results in people with nearsightedness, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Supplementing with Bilberry extract may also assist in lowering blood pressure, inhibiting clots, and enhancing blood flow to the nervous system and its vital organs.
