Bilberry flavonoids are unique in that they support both your blood vessels and blood cells by maintaining the flexibility of the cell membranes.
This makes capillaries better able to stretch, thus increasing blood flow and red blood cells are more able to change this shape allowing easier passage through narrow capillaries.
Bilberry is also used to support circulation, varicose veins and eye sight.
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 supports normal blood pressure, clotting and improves blood supply to the nervous system.
Bilberry also contains glucoquinine which has been shown to support normal blood sugar level.
Bilberry is also used in herbal mixtures used for joint health.
