Bilberry flavonoids are unique in that they support both your blood vessels and blood cells by maintaining the flexibility of the cell membranes. Capillaries are better able to stretch thus increasing blood flow. Red blood cells are better able to change their shape allowing easier passage thru narrow capillaries. Bilberry is also used when treating angina, varicose veins, eye sight problems, and thrombosis. The herb bilberry contains both flavonoids and anthocyanin, which serve to prevent capillary fragility, thin the blood, and stimulate the release of vasodilators. The natural antioxidant Anthocyanin in bilberry also lowers blood pressure, reduces clotting and improves blood supply to the nervous system. Bilberry also contains glucoquinine which helps to lower blood sugar level. Bilberry is also used in herbal mixtures used for arthritis, osteo-arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Bilberry is also known as: Vaccinium myrtillus, blueberry, huckleberry |
