Product Introduction
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is a perennial shrub belonging to the Ericaceae family. This plant is known to contain compounds that are often associated with supporting visual function and relieving ocular fatigue. It has also been traditionally consumed in the form of an infusion to promote gastrointestinal comfort and maintain digestive well-being.
Physiological Functions
1.Supports Eye and Vision Health
The extract is rich in anthocyanins, which have a strong affinity for the retinal pigment epithelium. It helps to promote the regeneration of rhodopsin, improve dark adaptation, and scavenge free radicals in ocular tissues, thereby contributing to the maintenance of normal visual function and helping to alleviate symptoms of visual fatigue. This is its most recognized and evidence-supported function.
2.Potent Antioxidant Activity
Bilberry extract, primarily due to its high anthocyanin and polyphenol content, exhibits a strong ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. This activity helps to mitigate oxidative stress throughout the body, protecting cells from oxidative damage.
3.Vascular Protection and Microcirculation Support
Anthocyanins are known to help improve capillary integrity, enhance blood flow, and reduce permeability. This activity supports healthy microcirculation and contributes to the maintenance of normal vascular function.
Applications
1.Raw Material for Eye Health Dietary Supplements
This is the most significant and mature market application. It is widely used as the core functional ingredient in capsules, tablets, and softgels specifically formulated to support eye comfort, night vision, and overall visual health.
2.Natural Pigment and Functional Ingredient in Foods and Beverages
Its rich, stable, purple-blue color and antioxidant properties make it suitable as a natural colorant and functional additive in products like health drinks, yogurt, jellies, and baked goods.
3.Functional Cosmetic Ingredient
Its potent antioxidant properties, which help protect against oxidative stress induced by UV radiation and environmental pollutants, make it a valuable additive in skincare products, particularly those targeting anti-aging and skin radiance.
