About Bilberry Herbal Tablets & Supplement

Bilberry, or Vaccinium myrtillus, is a powerful and underrated health promoting herbal medicine. It is rich in a special group of phytochemicals called anthocyanins. Bilberry has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic (regulates blood lipids) and hypoglycemic (lowers blood sugar) effects. Antioxidants are natural compounds that neutralise free-radicals, helping to reduce cellular injury and premature aging.

The diets of people in developed nations tend to contain limited amounts of antioxidants, not only in quantity but also diversity. Antioxidants work more effectively when part of a family. This allows their inherent synergism to flourish. Taking a broad range of antioxidants at smaller dosages, rather than  one or two at a higher dosage, more often promotes general health more effectively. Herbs naturally contain thousands of plant chemicals, many of which are antioxidants. Mother Nature is a mad, yet brilliant, biochemist.

Billbery was believed to have been named as early as 1577 in Scandanavia. It grows well in acidic and poorly nourished soil, contrary to most plants. This blue/black berry is often prescribed medicinally for imparied night vision, and to improve vascular integrity for conditions such as varicose veins and easy bruising.
